I am mixed on Sword and Shield but I definitely approve of it introducing the mechanic to equip a ribbon/mark and show off a title to add a little personal flourish to your mon as well as giving a fun incentive to possibly collect them on any mons in past games before moving them forward.
One thing I like about Z-A that in hindsight I wish Arceus had done more of is that, with the DLC, a fair chunk of the new Pokémon from Scarlet & Violet are not only included in the Pokédex expansion, but are also actively showcased through various side quests. (Not to mention, four of them even get Mega Evolutions.)
It’s something that makes Z-A feel more aesthetically of a part with Gen 9, and gives those Pokémon some more time in the limelight while their generation is still current. (Fortunately, Z-A also does this for a share of Gen 8 Pokémon as well, which kind of makes up for things.)

I like that after Kadabra got the greenlight to show up in things they decided to consistently give it cards.
3 distinct cards in 151, Twilight Masquerade and Mega Evolution alongside a Shiny in Paldean Fates (and a regular reprint in both it and terastal festival in japan)
They got this thing and damn it they're making up for lost time. There could potentially be another one this year if they decide they want a Mega Alakazam ex before the block is over!
e: And it showed up twice in Pocket, the second of which had new artwork
