Pikachu promo from Japan!

It's a me Pokémon

Sweet. That’s a strong card?

It’s getting crazy that’s for sure!

Too many charizard reprints. Pokemon cuts down a small forest every week just to satisfy some weeb's obsession over a fire lizard.

My kid thinks all the cards are fake. Just cause Pokémon printed the card why does it make it “real” compared to someone else’s paper

I remember when base set had 102 cards
Including like 16 holo rares and that was enough to satisfy the game. You could make a ton of decks and most cards were semi viable to playable. There weren't many filler cards.

Now a new set comes out there are around 600 plus cards including reverse holos, secret rares, alternative arts etc. About 5 of them are playable/meta, 10-15 are semi viable/meme. And the rest are literally garbage filler and reprints from previous sets.

Pokémon is mostly selling artwork. With gameplay as an afterthought. Ptcgo was run on this old buggy and super outdated client that was playable. Now they replaced it with even worse client (ptcgl) that regularly crashes and doesn't do what it's supposed to 1/2 the time. On top of that it legit looks like some undergrad was given 2 weeks project to create a client. It's actually disgusting. Pokemon being the highest grossing media franchise on the planet producing this bullshit.
Imagine if Ferrari releases a new car that's cardboard box with plastic wheels stuck together with duct tape.
