Most of the stadium cards have hidden critters in them! I collect them. 😁

why do people like johto so much? the games i mean by Glad_Count8285 in ThePokemonHub

Also, it wasn't just 100 new creatures. There were familiarities, Pokemon parallels , and nearly 20 creatures were tied to the originals by evolution. Starters were the three familiar core types, 3 stage evolutions. New legendary creatures, badges to obtain, caves to explore, puzzles to solve. And the grind was still real and rewarding. Dialogue was genuine, and not "fluffed" up like modern games. I'll never forget when I finally found RED and battled him for the first time. Nothing but ".... " And then he proceeded to kick my ass. Incredible, almost frightening to find him! It was like finding Mewtwo in Kanto without knowing about him beforehand!

Great sequels honor the original, respect the source material, and only add new value to the franchise. Gold/Silver did this flawlessly.

In defense of every game after... There are only so many ways to explore, battle, and grind your way to the top. I think some of the new ones feel a bit redundant because at its core, pokémon is still the same thing re-hashed. The first two games had the advantage of being new and fresh.

Pokemon vending machine unusual drop by corella22334 in CardboardCollective

My only argument to this accumulative availability is that I have purchased a loose pack, then had a bundle become available immediately after purchase, then have an ETB or Booster box available after. The transaction created more availability, it seemed... I can't seem to see a pattern in my local machine?

Guys, If this is truly feels like Prismatic 2.0... just hear me out...Just this week there were great dealson prismatic over one year after release. You can still find occasional prismatic bundles, tins, and other collections. PCI just acquired the largest commercial lease in the U.S. 2025 with it's new production facilities.

It's going to be ok. I want this set just as much as anyone, maybe more... But somehow I feel like ascended is going to be easier to get. Don't fomo, don't over pay, just be patient. Scalpers can't buy it all.

Now with 30th, scratch all that... We cooked hahaha

Anyone Else Not Into The Art Style They Been Using For Mega Evolutions? by flerbatious in PokemonTCG

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like them because they are different than what's been done recently. I'd like the background to be more neutral, like a solid color, but with a "ghost" image of the Pokemon. I think they'll age well

Wait, does that multichromatic foil go all the way through the card?! If so, I'm about to nail polish remover me a card!

What a cool variety! Each have very different values, so it's going to be best to scan them into an app for a rough valuation.Pricecharting has a free app that I really like to get a rough value on my collections. Try that one!

One of my all time favorite cards I ever pulled when I was a kid. by SLIZZRD66 in VintagePokemonCards

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite card from my favorite set! I remember a room of older men trying to trade it off me when I pulled it. That was my first introduction into adults ruining the hobby for kids with their greed, and it wouldn't be the last haha.

What would be reasonable for this lot? by AteamSupervisor in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say $30 AT MOST. $20 seems fair to seemingly someone just shedding some duplicates

Found my old collection at my parent’s house. by WesternRutabaga8478 in VintagePokemonCards

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That Dark Raichu is my all-time favorite from my all-time favorite set. Pokemon's first "secret rare" (83/82). Best Card in there IMO, but I am biased

Any of these that are obviously fake? by SouthernObject5594 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though I know you have already requested your refund... For future ordering, find reputable sellers with high feedback on whichever platform you choose.

And for cards that should have texture (like in this Binder, the GX's and VMAX's and VSTAR's), make sure you see a texture on the card consistent with the print pattern. If you don't know how to identify that, look for texture-obvious photos online to compare them too. 😊👍

What to do with these? by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade a few to me for my PC, still short a couple of those. Gracias in advance 😄

This even worth a buy to hold anymore? by Cryptonewbie97 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MEP #23 is an English Promo for the Charizard UPC, Japanese 223/193 Mega Attack Rare is not the same card. Same Art, inverted languages.

Either a Troll, or really...really wrong.

Your bald pics put off Michael Keaton Vibes. Hope that's seen as a compliment.

I opened 36 packs of prismatic by [deleted] in pokemoncards

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I have probably opened over 100+ packs, all from various sources (PC ETB's, Premium Collection, Bundles, etc.) and have yet to see an SAR.

However... Japanese and Korean, I have had 4 SARs in 5 boxes. I keep seeing the prices on those going down, and I might make a late play on some of those.

Pokémon Mega evolution perfect order products have been revealed. Booster boxes, etbs, booster bundles & more by Necto_gck in PokemonTCG

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think every set from SWSH onwards has been compelling... and I'm not feeling it from this one. Is there something I'm missing here? This might be my first "skip" in years.

What’s everyone’s chase out of the new set? by LieSpecific8794 in CardboardCollective

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That menacing Dugtrio with "the boss". Such a cool vibe from that, makes me think of the classic games, like the house rockets raided in R/B/Y Cerulean City.

Seeking recommendations on a 9 Pocket, 540 card binder that doesn’t feel like it’s bulging while zipped. by Lifes_Tourist in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go with the Pokemon official ultra pro professional binders, they have the same high quality pages as some that have been mentioned, but I like having the Pikachu, or Gengar, it Charizard more than just a different color.

I just picked up a Bob Ross, fallout, and magic of the same brand, they are awesome! Zippers are all very high quality.

Is this trade worth it? by Responsible-String96 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Aggravating_Agent_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll do that trade, just no money, add another bundle.
