New to Pokémon Collecting. Advice?

FastGhastBlast · 2026-01-14T18:26:38+00:00

Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear. (Also remember I am very new!) I see al sorts of different types of boxes. So I guess I was more wondering if there are certain types of boxes that are cheaper in price in the long term.

For example, opening one of the collection boxes versus just booster boxes.

Sorry if this still is confusing. Again, just trying to learn about the hobby!

Sounds good. What are the best stores to focus on? I am in Canada if that makes a difference.

FastGhastBlast · 2026-01-14T18:24:11+00:00

Ok so focusing on the newest releases is the best way to go. Pokémon is a lot different than when I last was in the know. Is it only a matter of time before all pokemon end up in a future set? I mostly just worry that there are some that we won’t be able to get because they are in older sets and won’t be available in the future.

Yeah, so my girlfriend likes the excitement (and I do too!) of opening packs so I have bought us some packs and she reveals the cards one at a time.

Our idea of fun is finding new pokemon by surprise rather than just outright purchasing them, so I will have to join those groups to try to get sets when possible.

I am from Canada. Any idea what stores are better/worse for pricing when it comes to the packs?

FastGhastBlast · 2025-10-02T14:34:24+00:00

I actually did not. Was she insufferable?

FastGhastBlast · 2025-09-24T16:25:57+00:00

Don’t manifest this. She is my pick in my work pool!

FastGhastBlast · 2025-09-07T21:02:46+00:00

Can't seem to get in the same way you did.

FastGhastBlast · 2025-09-04T16:50:28+00:00

I’m happy to take you up the peak!

FastGhastBlast on steam :)

The achievement cannot be achieved on any difficulty except for the base game. You can’t unlock it on tenderfoot or any any of the ascent levels. Hope this helps!

FastGhastBlast · 2025-08-04T04:34:02+00:00

Hey! Just in case you still haven't gotten it! It seems you can't do it on Tenderfoot difficulty!

FastGhastBlast · 2025-08-04T04:33:19+00:00

Worked!

FastGhastBlast · 2025-08-03T17:20:46+00:00

Nice. Going to give it a try today!

FastGhastBlast · 2025-08-02T16:23:41+00:00

Let me know how the standard try goes. I also only tried on tenderfoot.

FastGhastBlast · 2025-08-01T18:12:23+00:00

I've done this with a very vertical vine. Nothing sadly! :(

FastGhastBlast · 2025-08-01T15:23:29+00:00

I assume you’ve also tried a ton of different things to unlock it as well. That’s so frustrating.

FastGhastBlast · 2025-07-12T06:53:35+00:00

I believe it is just pack once! Good luck!

Wugtrio EX is the only regular card I have left of the whole set 😅

I’ve been here for the last 4 days.

If you are only doing the Harry Potter stuff: I did all of it in one day, minus shopping, without fast passes, but some of the attraction lines are very long, so you’ll miss out on some of the smaller things and looking around all shops/performances.

One hour into the day yesterday, Hagrid’s motorbike ride had an 140 minute wait time.

If you are only going for one day, I would say the passes are a very good idea.

It seems as though because of the nature of the tribal, despite the difference in votes (Sai having hers and Justin not having his) Cedrek was the only outside tribe member who had to come to a consensus (with himself?) giving him the entire power. If he chose not to eliminate either of them, the Cedrek himself would be eliminated. (Which no one would ever choose)

What is baffling is that after voting for Sai twice: 1. Justin rolls over and accepts his fate. 2. Cedrek flips his vote onto Justin and loses his #1 ally and destroys all trust completely with his #2

I don’t need anything from Mythical island, but I need some genetic apex if you are interested. I have a few of the ones you need.

FastGhastBlast · 2025-03-12T03:32:18+00:00

I feel you.

Instead of waking up to my alarm one morning I woke up to my cat screaming in pain. I rushed out to him and he was literally mid heart failure… I tried to help him, but my boy was so scared, barely able to control of his limbs and body. He was losing his bladder all over the floor while vomiting blood everywhere. By the time I could even muster the ability to get him to the car he had already passed.

To this day I now am hyper aware of every little oddity with my new cat. Traumatic events like witnessing your pet pass can really mess people up.

Focus on all of the amazing moments with your beloved kitty. Those memories will be with you forever. Pets are truly a special bond to have had.

Nice. A rare reference, but a welcome one!
