I had no idea people actually spent so much money trying to make big bucks on those event only cards, honestly, I don't feel bad for them because lately, as a PTCG player, I've recently seen how scalpers just ruin the game for the rest of us so can't say I really feel bad, let's be honest some cards are going out of hand!(I.e. Charizard EX)

I am also a huge Zoroark fan! I can’t wait to use Zoroark once Maushold ex comes out, combining it with Sky Field to stack up a lot of damage. There, you’d also have access to tools like Ditto Prism and Winona.

Having played in the 2013-2015 era, would’ve never imagined Champion’s Festival to be a meta card. Meanwhile, everyone was clamoring over Tropical Beach…

Fairly recently jumped into Pokemon, and this is one if the best, most interesting channels going on. Good work.

Here is my second attempt at suggesting a video revolving around cards that were meh during their time in standard, but became extremely broken in expanded!

God I remember the Gengar Prime hype. That was hilarious, because we were testing it and came to the very quick realization that the MD-on meta eats its lunch. Monozone, Charizard, and of course Luxchomp were just unstoppable and the meta was too narrow for something like gar.

I clicked on the vid because the thumbnail suggested this was going to be a video about finances. I'm 10 minutes in and there has yet to be a single mention past the Gardevoir about how much any of these cards were worth during their speculation period

Great video!! Love the fresh new edits 😊 ✨

Great video for someone like me that just got into the game I like that you also use the past tense when talking about current cards so that the video still makes sense if watched years from now

Loving your content and casting at the latest regionals, and I watch every single video of yours! Thank you for making great content!

I was on the Xerneas EX hype train back then. It was the first deck I ever built! Even planning on rebuilding it. It’s still number 1 in my heart lol.

your stock footage usage kills me bro hahah

and now drifloon is in the bdif of this format lol

I don’t even know how to play Pokémon but I found this video entertaining 😂💯

After NAIC 2024 I can say Gardevoir/drif is no longer a flop

Burts Orders 😂❤ best card in the game

The newest world promo is just predicting the psyduck meta

love how drifloon got shafted in standard but then we get roaring moon which can pretty much KO everything in the game right now

i remember the hype around rayquaza vmax but i didnt buy into it. it was just a worse ultra necrozma gx worth 3 prizes

11:57 LOL poor Dedennes 😂

I swear if you invest trying to make money it will never work, Arceus does not allow it. I bought both PSA 10 Rayquaza Poncho Pikachus at the end of lockdown because I thought they looked super cute and they've gone up 4x. It's actually ridiculous how it happens, you've just got to buy what you like and if it ends up making some money then great but if not then you still have cards that you like!

song at 11:20?

So now i gotta wonder if you had all these cards in the pokevault or you bought then all for this vid. I know your a bit of an ancient player but there aint no way you had several different xerneas ex sitting in the binder haha

lol, imagine if they got tired of giratina lost zone and just throw a new lost world into the last expansion they make for scarlet and violet😂😅

DP era was a huge mistake with the +whatever weaknesses...

Only gold info in the video! RIP victims of Sableye, and on the next set Dark Box will be good again, I swear, this time, for real (actually real).

I played primal Kyogre with keldeo EX, keldeo could always use more energies and take the active spot with his ability, I also ran deluge Blastoise to attack with Kyogre faster

Tfw people lose $1,000s 😔

"Burts Orders" hahaha.

here's to hoping jake gearhart doomposting is once again nothing

missing that gen 5 catcher

Could you imagine having lost world now?

tbf Zoroark GX was good and even won Worlds iirc

Recession, wars & living crisis.... Course no ones got money for cards affecting the market.... I imagine 80% of collectors wasn't around for the 1st pop where cards wasn't woths a fiver.... Forget the hype coz pokemon is halfway to the moon in 2023

The flop on Lost World was partially due to Broken Time-Space was still around

pokemon is the worst of the three mainstream tcgs to speculate on since the ceiling is not only lower than the other two, but also the fact that the ceiling (cute girl character full arts for hundreds of dollars) and even the level *right* under it (non cute girl full arts for a few dozen at most) are sooooooo sooooooo far apart in value. there is a MASSIVE *MASSIVE* yawning chasim between a full art Iono and Special Illustration Full Art Gardevoir EX ( i should know. i got full sets of both. because i lack self control. and garde is one of my all time faves. dont ask why. you know why) and of course youre not gonna pull any full arts let alone an IONO tier full art unless you spend far more in booster boxes than 5 full art Ionos are valued or get lotto levels of lucky. all this is to say that the pokemon company is doing an excellent job of keeping pokemon dirt cheap af. I built my garde ex deck up from absolutely nothing and completely blinged out for a few hundred. i could have gotten the same cards unblinged for about 40 bucks. and garde ex is probably the best and most consistent standard deck rn. try that with yugioh or mtg lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. the fact that you CANT make easy and quick money off of it is good. its a f!%king childrens card game ffs. be pretty great of konami and wotc knew that... well to be fair konami LOVES their reprints so theu help a lot but its not enough especially when sh!t gets banned every other minute. but wotc my god holy sh!t. $500 isnt even a start for ANYTHING but standard. and nobody f!%king plays standard mtg wtf.

why we add in that baddie at the 2:20 mark
