Considering sets now are 3x the size of what they were and there's more tiers of rarity in terms of quality and quantity compared to the old days where a 1 in 3 chance to pull 1 of 15 holos in a set was the standard, yes pull rates sucked in Sun and Moon and they still suck now.

Uh yeah I agree with you that Pokemon as a series has no deep characters and everything about its story is very surface level. Therefore there isn't some super secret lore that Ariana is actually Silver's mother because the games are simple and straightforward and they would hint at something...

Ariana literally didn't even have a name for the first 10 years she existed. She was not an important character in the slightest until HGSS came along and had to pretend like the bland executives with six lines of dialogue each were actual characters (still didn't work IMO tbh!). Giovanni not...

There is no indication that Ariana is Silver's mother. In anything.

Chingling just got its first card since 2009. The new bar to beat for being neglected is Quilladin (until Z-A drops).

Unfortunately the themes of TCG expansions have been vague and poorly defined since day one. What's "jungle" about Mr. Mime? What's "fossil" about Raichu? Only a few times have they actually nailed a concept for an entire set, and those ideas usually were something broad like Gym...

Good for them? And people should be able to criticize them without being attacked for being "Genwunners" or "always complaining" because Gen 1-2 characters aren't using Gen 1-2 Pokemon in a set intentionally posturing itself as promoting Gen 1-2 characters. Wild concept I know.

Yeah these reactions are so extra. They're clearly nostalgia baiting by basing this set around Team Rocket in the first place. Why are people wrong for being annoyed that Team Rocket is getting a bunch of random new Pokemon they've never used in the video games? All of the characters in Glory of...

Even if it were Japanese, they had no issue sticking Primarina on sleeves with Lacey last year and still give that line no cards...

I wasn't mocking you WPM, I just don't trust their ability to actually solve their problems in any satisfying way. Remember when their solution to printing more Van Gogh Pikachu was sending 10 copies to local stores and it barely did anything? We're about to enter the oft-mentioned "6-8 month"...

For the third time, I'm going to need more than words. We're entering month 6 of this and 2 million people were in queue for Destined Rivals preorders on Monday. Sorry this strongly worded letter isn't doing anything for me

I don't think Jessie and James were gonna be a tipping point for a set that already has Cynthia, Misty, Ethan, Steven, Marnie, Giovanni, Mewtwo.....

Surging Sparks had 1 (one) highly valued card when it first dropped and Journey Together and Destined Rivals aren't even out yet so it's kind of hard to make any comment about their values. The latter two are also caught up in the wake of Prismatic and everything else that's been going on...

Journey Together has almost no Gen 1 Pokemon in the spotlight and the booster boxes are still marked up to the highest value they've been in 26 years of the game. 151 was also very easy to obtain for nearly a year after it was released. Out of Prismatic's 17 cards worth $100+ on TCGPlayer, only...

2025 was a great time to quit. Things aren't going to get better. 2 MILLION BOTS IN QUEUE And no, what's been going on for the last 3-4 months doesn't "happen every couple of years." Even during the worst of the pandemic, a booster box of a set that was just coming out wasn't $250. Singles of...
