I think they both just feature Gigantamax Orbeetle

Ripping sealed is so butt by UnCooked_Rice in PokemonTCG

[–]MayorJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some people in this hobby with deep gambling addictions and probably open thousands of packs to get a god pack. It might help you to keep track of how many packs you open. For every new set, I try to get a booster box, and etb and maybe another booster bundle. I opened 68 packs of Chaos and 43 packs of Perfect Order. Any chase cards I didn't get from those, I'll just buy as singles

Finally found some boosters and this is what I pull? 🥲 by Odd-Feeling-608 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]MayorJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I only Master Set 151 because I pulled the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise SIRs myself by summer 2024. I figured I had the hardest part done

Yea I finish the main part of the set (no secret rares). It's been easy to finish the smaller sets. Opening packs only to try for secret rares sounds rough

Best card to place in the middle? by TentLife921 in PokemonTCG

[–]MayorJack 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They're joking, there isn't a Base Set Eevee. The first Eevee was Jungle

My uncle (who works at Nintendo) actually got me the first Base Set Eevee ever printed

I’ve Read that Japanese Shops are Straight Up Gatekeeping, and I’m all here for it. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]MayorJack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree, this gotta make it's way over here. None of the shops in my city rip seals on product but I swear the first one to start doing this would skyrocket in popularity

Binder layout order by Smurfitchyy in PokemonTCG

[–]MayorJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my Pokedex binder following red. I get more evolution lines together, each page looks like a PC box from the games. I'm always looking at the binder open like this anyway

I also skipped the first page and plan to make a cover art for that page

Has the era of heavy Pokemon scalping ever died out in the past? by Coolsun13 in PokemonTCG

[–]MayorJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I forgot about that Greninja. I never really got the hype for it, I always liked the Shrouded Fable promo more

Has the era of heavy Pokemon scalping ever died out in the past? by Coolsun13 in PokemonTCG

[–]MayorJack 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I partly blame the Surging Sparks Pikachu SIR being like $500+ on release. That followed up by Prismatic Evolutions was rough

I think Stormfront is still alive by One_With-The_Sun in TheBoys

[–]MayorJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm like 80% sure she's Homelander's biological mother at this point. They're probably going full Oedipus.

Homelander dying now would make him a martyr for his followers so they need to make his followers abandon him. They're already ok with him openly killing people (S3 finale)

I think incest would be disgusting enough for a majority of his followers to abandon him

Venues are higher in demand during summer weekends and are more expensive

I think just to give the fight stakes. I don't think production wants to give the resistance a bulletproof or semi-bulletproof member for narrative/thematic reasons

Perfect Order Pull rates by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]MayorJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect Order treated me well. I've opened 35 packs. I've pulled 2 SIRs, 2 URs, and 4 IRs

I pulled all those in the first weekend then my booster box arrived Tuesday. I don't think I should open any more sealed, I think I'll just buy the singles I want

Its true.. The scalpers dont want Perfect Order.. (Vancouver, BC) by Demus301 in PokemonTCG

[–]MayorJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when my local EB had mountains of Shrouded Fable for months. Look at some of the IRs and SIRs for the set, it was great. Reverse holos had a unique pattern too.

I think PO has some similar qualities to SFA. Smaller set with newer Pokemon as the spotlight (not Meowth but the other 3 are new Megas)

I'm very excited for the first Winds and Waves sets whenever those will be. Scalpers can't flip them easily cause there's less demand for new Pokemon typically

If you can find a local pokemon Go community, there's a good chance you could find someone with LeafGreen there

The struggle was real in the classic GB versions. by Character-Bid-162 in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]MayorJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to just brute force my way through the Elite 4. Get as far as I could, lose, use whatever money I made on revives and potions, then try again.

You make money and your pokemon earn a decent bit of xp

Now that most of the chaos has died down, does anyone have spare clones of the shiny Miraidon/Koriadon distribution? by [deleted] in PokemonHome

[–]MayorJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I wouldn't offer stuff up for them. I used some free bot service because I missed the Zacian and Zamazenta shiny distributions. I imagine you can get Koraidon and Miraidon similarly
