If Prismatic has the same awful pull rates as every other English set this year, I might be done. SARs have been a nightmare enough to get in 2024's sets, and Prismatic is going to have like 3x as many to get.
Pichu got a card in Gen 8, but only in Japan. Even if you ignore Mischievous Pichu, Budew was and Chingling has been waiting longer for a new card than Pichu. Chingling has taken the crown for Pokemon that hasn't been printed the longest currently.
Go is also 7 years old in an era where phone games are not expected to last 8. I don't like Niantic either but it's not much of a "gotcha" that an app that is 3 days old is outgrossing an app that is 7+ years old. Pocket is going to drop off hard when the new game dopamine wears off and people...
It's a slog by day two because there's no content to the game beyond a few AI decks. Waiting 12 hours to open a pack of 5 cards that will be mostly/all duplicates? Ehh...
I also imagine there will be massive restrictions whenever they add the trading capability because collecting all the cards...
Evolving Skies also had worse pull rates than any SV set, massive product shortages due to being released during the pandemic, four or five tiers of rarity of most of the Eeveelutions, chase cards stolen at the factories, and Rayquaza and Dragonite (two Pokemon capable of headlining a set...
The game is not terrible but it is woefully undercooked in its current state.
Besides the gameplay being TCG GB for babies, the app offers one day of content and then after you beat all the AI decks there's nothing to do. Unless you want to complete the set, and then you realize how scummy the...
Four cards have had the move Heat Wave in the TCG and two of them are Volcarona. The others are Ninetales and Talonflame; none of them are Charizard. Take all of this as you will.
Pretty much all English regular art ex cards are bulk in terms of price and rarity at this point. So if they add these into Prismatic Evolution, whatever.
It'd be great if they'd use the bland filler in these sets to print some Pokemon who haven't appeared in years instead of printing the same ones over and over
