It finally happened, someone just got shot over a fight for Pokemon cards at a Kroger.
a kyogre?
>>59163952Finally
This is all Logan Paul's fault BTW.
mutts are so funny
>>59163952this is why i just play with the virtual cards
>>59163966>implying Japan didn't have an incident first
>>59163972you haven't actually spent real money on that now, have you?
Were the boomer pastors right all along, chat?
>>59164009If someone got shot over a Bible signed by Donald Trump would that make the Bible demonic?
>>59164013You don’t see Monster Hunter fans shooting each other over stupid shit. Not all Pokefags but ALWAYS a pokefag
>>59164009I actually remember bible thumpers criticizing pokemon cards as a gateway to gambling, kids were going nuts trying to pull the big 3. and back then packs were already $5 a pack which was a lot of money for a kid to spend back in the 90s.
>>59164009More and more transcoded characters are slipping through the cracks, so unfortunately, yes. This wasn't the case at the time, but times change and so does executive staffing.
>>59164016Typhlosion rapes kids and Game Freak doesn't hate Gen 2 because of Iwata
>>59164016It's not like there's any monster hunter fans left to shoot each other
>>59164078>Game Freak give typhlosion rapeslop >they don’t hate gen2 Retarf
>>59163995NTA but I stopped doing that for multiple sets already. As a matter of fact, I'll probably dropping it to spend more time in Champions
>>59164108They exist they just dont make the news because they know how to behave in civilized spaces unlike pokesavages
>>59164119I knew it's you ya fuckin typedoooooooooooooooo
>>59163957Lol
>>59164119>>Retarf
>>59164132I don't think the two individuals that bought Milds and still "play" it can be considered civilized
>>59164016>He doesn't know about the King of Fighters 97 stabbing incident
>>59164009>chat?Kill yourself.
>>59164009They were definitely right about D&D, look at BG3
>>59164016at least half of the tcg "investors" are the same kinds of people who never play the mainline games but still jack it to eevees
>>59163952All scalpers should be shot.
>>59163952Didn't some chick in Japan get stabbed working at a Pokémon store not too long ago?
>>59165078Yeah but that was typical Japanese stalker behaviour, a Pokécenter just happened to be her workplace.
>>59165078had nothing to do with pokemon, it was an obsessed jap stalking a woman working there
>>59164977I play tcg pocket only, does that count? I just don't like how the actual tcg is more complicated and slower. It's fun seeing people ragequit just as soon as they see this snail.
>>59165078>Tell the police your ex is stalking you>They just tell you to move and get a anew job>Get murdered in publicIs this the high trust society I heard so much about?
>>59165137were pictures even released, what did she even look like?
>>59163952>First shots of blood were fired over the trading card gameWhat's next? The games? Merch? The anime?
>>59164016spend 10 minutes in /mhg/ and you’ll want to shoot someone
>>59165145I imagine she was cute enough to work in specialty retail.
>>59164017Booster packs were $3 back in the day you fucking phony.
>>59163957
>>59164016Pokefags are worse than niggers. Im not even joking. I honestly think this incident made me less racist.
>>59163965I happened upon some youtube commentary video about the Illustrator he sold for millions and one of the videos used/discussed in that had the auctioneer going:>If you love the hobby you should be happy about thisBasically telling people they should be happy about scalpers and people only there to make money off it. And now murder, it seems.
Why the fuck are people fighting over Pokemon cards
>>59167893cuz dey xpensive
>>59164013>le orange man out of nowhereIt’s not enough for you people to infect all the larger boards with politics?
>>59165137They arrested him for stalking but they couldn't keep him in jail over it forever. She knew he knew that she worked there but refused to leave the job, even though she knew he was caught with a knife when the police got him the first time.
>>59167893Because Pokemon cards are drugs and scalpers/resellers are the cartel.
>>59163952Why would white people do this?
>>59167985You're more right than you think. I've done drugs and none of them give me a high as good as pulling a top chase card. Seriously it's an incredible dopamine rush that lasts a long time. Even just collecting sealed gives me a rush knowing that it just keeps increasing in value every day. There's a reason why people will commit violence for that dopamine.
>>59168362How are you not a gambling addict already?Oh wait, you are.
>>59168423It's only gambling if you open it, keep it sealed and you have a better ROI than the stock market
>>59163965Yes, but he’s also made me lots of money since I spent my early 20s buying booster boxes of the WotC sets for like $100-150 a piece back in the early 2010s.
>>59168457that's actually scary, I'd be scared shitless having something that valuable. put it in a fireproof safe bolted to concrete.
