They think it'll have cool Dark pokemon brought back. Which has already been confirmed to NOT be the case.
So it's already for those who are informed not that hype, but sellers want it to be hype so they just keep humming that narrative. All the Pokemon are gonna be like trainers pokemon but with "Rocket's" in front of the name.
The set could be filled with complete and utter shitmons.
The real ironic part is that people who hate Kanto and Gen 1 are also hype about it, and it's like are you guys retarded it's kantos villain team.
Idk the Pokemon card community it's turbo autistic.
I don't see it being particularly good.
Dark Pokemon would had been cooler.
Megas are in the works, that'll be awesome. Imagine a set with megas and dark pokemon.

151 is the best, you just dislike it because you think it's cool to go against the grain and be a little rebel and contrarian. Always super obvious whenever someone says they hate 151, Kanto, or Gen 1. Just eternally jealous the gen they grew up with wasn't the first Gen. Sucks to suck though.

151 isn't turd but it also isn't a good set. The standouts IMO are cards like the Bulbasaur SIR line, Erika, and probably some others I can't think of. But everyone's all MUHFUGGIN CHARIZARD (I pulled three). I'm completing the set out of nostalgia, but accept it is just that.
>>
>>57266357
I just want another 151 set but all the Pokemon Dark. Dark 151 would be awesome. Or 151 with the gym leaders.
Journey Together should had been Gym Heroes 151 and the rocket set should had been Dark 151. Fuck woulda been so good, the original 151 set woulda been like Base Jungle Fossil and then Rocket Set and Gym Heroes/ Challenge. Full Power Nostalgic throw back.

Sure, it's still aesthetically mid. All the shitty generic soulless Yoshinob ex cards, and equally bland commons, uncommons, and rares makes it a boring set to me. Some of the SIRs and ARs are great, but that's where it ends.

>>
>>57266393
From a card collecting point of view the dex order and being comprehensive to include all 151 pokemon in a single set makes it the defacto best set to collect.
There's no other set that's going to be mastered as much as 151 will be for that reason alone.
The only people who are mastering other Scarlet & Violet sets are the people who master every set. No one loves an entire set enough to collect every card from it any more. People actually put 151 bulk in binders. All these other sets are for fake fans who just collect rare & valuable cards.

Because Pokemon is primarily a children's series and officially acknowledging that part of the fanbase wants to fuck the trainers would be frowned upon. So the best they can do is G-rated 'fanservice' like a character telling you you're super strong and cool.

Unova is trash. Only things I like are Alder, his theme, N and the animations.
The setting is utter trash, big cities, skycrapers, huge bridges are the exact opposite of what I think when I think of adventure and they abandoned the fantasy element of the previous gens for realism (city on trees). The idea of seasons is great but it's implemented in a retarded way (who the fuck thought having a 1:1 ratio was a good idea? You'll end up never seeing 3 of the 4 seasons, I ended up changing the date on my ds to summer because I was tired of looking at an entirely brown game lol), the designs are awful for the first time, gen4 still had some good stuff, now you have buttplug dragons and literal trashbags hahaha.
>>57266830
>>57266497
>>57266557
Not all pokemon games are born equal. If you think so you're delusional. Some of them are terrible.
You will think I'm a troll but I don't care, for example gen9 is much better than anything after gen5 and in my opinion it's on par with gen3 and 4, which are the best.
gen5 was still a decent game, gen6 was awful. gen7 I don't even want to play right now, I need to clean my palate with an Emerald playthrough first and maybe Platinum's post game.
gen8 looked like a 3DS game with some redeeming qualities, it started the uptick trend.
LA was a great game.

Just because you like pokemon, you don't have to think that all games are good, that would be a cultist mentality. Also what you enjoy doesn't have to necessarily be good.

>>57267904
have you guys never seen a Brachiosaurus?
>>
>>57267946
I don't think Japanese sets have ever been as much in demand as they are now. Because the domestic nip fan has to compete with westerners now. There have always been people importing Pokemon cards but never to this extent. So now there's shortages for the average fan in Japan and they are NOT happy. Also I doubt they ever put out a press release before where they say be calm and don't buy from resellers which is essentially what they said.
>>
>>57267946
Consider it this way, your normal customers that have supposed the game for years, cannot buy it unless they pay double or triple the price, so they get annoyed and maybe stop buying. Meanwhile the investors buying everything up will just stop buying it if they can't sell it.
>>
It would be pretty funny if everyone suddenly shifted to buying JP because it was cheaper and better quality, and this led to the English sets being changed over to JP format where you get an EX every pack, guaranteed SIR's per box, etc.
>>
>>57267987

There are no "scalpers", it's all in your head. There are only people that for whatever reason want to buy pokemon product and since there's not enough product to satisfy demand, the price goes up. Getting angry at people that want to buy the product is stupid, you should get angry at the people that create the scarcity problem. If you haven't figured it out by now that would be the Pokemon Company.
Hating "scalpers" is sign of very low iq.

I'm sorry bro. It's how I feel about my pikachu collection now. Surging did some damage and I still don't have the chase.

Can the investor and waifu market crash before Rocket comes out? I collect Giovanni and random Rocket cards and I just know it's going to be pure cancer to get anything nice looking from the set. While I'm happy my Jessie and James full art went up in price, I also know it's just speculators ready to hop on that sweet sweet Rocket nostalgia and every tuber and invooster is going to hype it to no end.

Who cares about money? None of you are going to make any serious money off of pokemon unless you have a legitimate business like a card shop or some kind of online content creation. You're much better off doing something that creates value, and when you have a shitload of money you can speculate. Everyone thinks they're a god damn genius because they make thousands during a massive pokemon bull run.

It's all marketing. It's all about making people feel like you're doing them a service. It's like when you have people selling online courses, they talk as if you have a problem that they are uniquely qualified to solve.

Same with these box openers and TCG grifters, they act as though your problem is that you can't open packs and they're going to give you cuck dopamine as a reward. Then when they get boohoo sad because they didn't get a Godpack, you engage with their content and give them thousands of dollars so they can do it all over again

I think it's actually just pure cope. Retarded investors that just picked up the hobby only found shrouded fable on the shelves (because nobody wants it) so they're just coping that the thing they got isn't trash and it's actually "underrated" and "slept on" in order to sell their bags.

Hey lads, I haven't looked at or thought about the Pokemon TCG since Neo Destiny (the 4th Johto set that introduced 'light' pokemon along with the previous 'dark' pokemon from Rocket). I saw there was a cool Darkrai + Cresselia card. I have a soft spot for Darkrai despite him looking and feeling like an Edgy OC and I thought the art was super cool.

Does Pokemon just have low print runs or something because online retailers with MtG cards from like, 1999 are still in stock but I can't find any copies of this outside of Ebay despite it apparently being from 2010.

been collecting\buying\selling\reselling since the beginning retard.
i have stated nothing but facts.

sealed product and loose single cards have historically ALWAYS had a divergent path
sealed > MUH BINDERR!!
if you are planning on exiting\hard-exiting the hobby or want a contingency plan to sell (even some) of your collection for more than you paid
you either are hoarding sealed Booster Bs or ETBs or PSA slabs with low pop reports\high bid counts

i get that this is 4chan but pls try to keep up
