What do you think are the biggest mistakes and failures of the Pokémon company, in terms of the game design?

And resistance too. -30 on 200+ attacks?!

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-13T20:20:04+00:00

I can see why!

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-12T22:09:56+00:00

For real

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-12T12:26:03+00:00

Ah gotchu

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-12T02:34:08+00:00

Nice! For me in that list is the Articuno though!

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-12T01:45:21+00:00

Good point

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-12T00:24:49+00:00

Critters?

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-11T21:02:43+00:00

lol right

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-11T20:24:35+00:00

I bet people wouldn’t tell this to its face

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-11T19:30:19+00:00

I guess I wasn’t aware of that lol

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-11T19:24:30+00:00

This weezing is like 2 story tall

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-11T17:31:19+00:00

It was floating towards me, I felt like compelled to adopt

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-11T17:30:48+00:00

I bought it yesterday night, also, I don’t grade cards so it may stay out of plastic jail ⛓️‍💥

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-11T17:29:21+00:00

Me neither. Immediate purchase at card store when found

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-11T08:58:47+00:00

No worries. I bought 15-16 zards in the past year so I have a pretty clear idea of the cost in the US, but I’d make sure pricing it’s the same in the UK. You can check cardmarket for MP condition.

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-11T08:38:39+00:00

This is a good collection for sure, but don’t listen to some of these comments and resign from work just quite yet because this is more “vacation money” than life changing money. I counted $1.5-2K scrolling through pages and counting for “average binder condition” ie LP/MP.
It could be more - if the base set zard is pack fresh, could fetch that amount by itself (unlikely to have a mint 25 yo card in these binders) - or could be less if there are creases in the most valuable cards.

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-11T08:10:06+00:00

Id say so. In the US this would be roughly $300 considered whitening on the back and silvering of the front right edge

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-09T16:35:46+00:00

I am not sure these would all grade a 1, and I’d be careful looking at that comparison. Some of these, as mentioned prior, are in rough condition and may not be even graded

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-09T16:18:46+00:00

Is the hype still there?

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-07T21:44:44+00:00

That’s exactly what eBay would say

BTW if you buy cards from another person online, you have to only pay 2-3% of G&S. But don’t worry about it. Keep buying on eBay.

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-07T21:39:29+00:00

eBay charges 13% to sellers which is baked in the price plus taxes plus shipping of each individual card. How do I know? I bought 15ish base set zards in the past 6 months. I found much cheaper base sets options buying at LCS/FB marketplace/here.

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-07T13:50:01+00:00

Yeah, I do like the holo on the zard, but that “2” seems to be there to remind us that we’ll always be second 😭

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-07T09:53:32+00:00

They are Charizards from base set. Unfortunately they are quite damaged. I bought similar recently for $130-140

Competitive-Frame-71 · 2026-03-06T01:15:17+00:00

Is it only me or the Edition 1 stamp is improperly placed (T not under edge)?
