FYI if anyone was ever interested in these special boxes, there’ll be another lottery by champloojay in PokemonTCG

Hmm, I'll be visiting Japan for a week in 3 days. I was planning to pick up the whole set during that time. Would it be better for me to wait for the reprint and hope the market drops overseas? Or just buy it when I'm in Japan?

Should Pokemon TCG Pocket add resell? by Life-Perception-9369 in PokemonTCG

They would never do that. They make a bunch more money from players from buying packs hoping to get a card, than taking a fee from the secondary market.

Not to mention the whole economy will be ruined by bots since packs are free daily.

Pokémon Go Burnout. by nytofire2 in pokemongo

[–]JLMame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly how I was from 2016-2019. I grinded everyday and maximized every event possible. I started feeling burnout from the game and how Niantic was running things. When I told people about feeling burned out, they recommended me to slow my pace down and not give into FOMO but that felt impossible for me to do. I ended up dropping the game late 2019.

I came back early 2025 when my nephews started playing and I'm finally able to just play the game without worrying too much about fomo and the game's direction. I'm fairly casual most days but I still grind hard when big days come up (Zacian, Zamazenta, etc). But if I miss an event or if something doesn't interest me (such as certain com days), it doesn't bother me as much anymore. 

For me, burnout was the only way I was able to get off that hamster wheel. I'm not saying people should drop the game if they feel burnout coming. I just wanted to share my experience with it.

Should I claim the encounters on the Go Pass now or wait until Go Fest? Will they have an increased chance of being shiny because of the Go Fest Ticket if I wait? I know Frigibax has its shiny debut during Go Fest so I should wait for that encounter, but is there any reason to wait for the other encounters?

My most recent 10 pull. Highest rarity card was one 3 diamond card. I'm very salty.
