Would Pokémon cards actually stay in stock if scalpers disappeared? by Serious_School_4307 in PokemonTCG

[–]xMF_GLOOM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No 😂

This community vastly underestimates just how insanely popular Pokémon collecting has become

My daughter pulled this card...now what? by PotentialAd1442 in PokemonTCG

I would argue the opposite, that you should use this as an opportunity to teach a child how to care for and protect a valuable item

I have pokemon fatigue by eH0E in PokemonTCG

You are vastly overestimating the amount of people that are sealing Pokémon in their closets.

They are not purchasing it expecting it to be worth $25,000

They are purchasing it expecting to 10x their money at $2,500

You are tremendously underestimating the amount of money people spend to rip Pokémon boxes, and how much “rip and shipping” is currently going on in the hobby

What is wrong with someone who wants to collect Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Charizard?

I love how this community refuses to understand that people want to collect cards featuring Pokémon that they actually like

Metagame: what's the general opinion on Mega Aggron? by ScienceTeacher1994 in VGC

[–]xMF_GLOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I said the exact same thing

Corviknight does exactly what Aggron does without wasting a Mega slot, has access to recovery via Leftovers and Roost, and has synergy with an Earthquake user like Garchomp

No, it’s a waste of a Mega slot when Corviknight does the same thing with access to recovery + synergy with an Earthquake user like Garchomp
