Is the Pokémon TCG's incredible art becoming too repetitive?

The Pokémon TCG has never had so much fantastic artwork or been so adept at showing it off.
The introduction of the Illustration Rares and Special Illustration Rares approach a few years ago allows us to see tons of full art treatments, and there have even been sets like Black Bolt and White Flare last year, where every single Pokémon in a generation gets its own full art.
My suspicion is that, while the Pokémon TCG as a whole has a lot of very different art, its big chases are beginning to trend towards a similar look.
More concretely, it doesn't help that Delta Reign comes immediately after Pitch Black, and that Mega Rayquaza ex's SIR looks in some ways very similar to Mega Darkrai ex's.
While overall I love the new cards from Delta Reign, I think The Pokémon Company should experiment with a few simpler SIRs for its big face cards - just to keep things varied!
