I’ve only ever collected English but 2023 was huge for simplified Chinese. Amazing gift boxes!

They’re coming out with so many. I’m interested to see what designs come out this year. Thanks for the support 👊🏻

2023 was big, but 2024 is going to be huge because they are just close to being caught up to where we are now (Scarlet and Violet era)

Thanks bro! Glad you liked it. It was mad to see how popular Pokémon was

Definitely this is a well edited video. As a Pokemon collector, it's great to see more of the world join. But also... they play card tournaments OUTSIDE?!?!?! Finally, I visited China last year, a small city anyway, and I couldn't find ANY pokemon cards. Lots of Ultraman though. I wonder how Pokemon fares in comparison to other TCGs.

Thanks for the support! I know right 😂 I was told there was a Pokémon tournament I thought we were going to some tiny shop to watch it. I couldn’t believe how many people were there too

@WesleyWinter. 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, everyone loves Ultraman. Pokémon is definitely something that’s growing in China

@markma2428 3 ай бұрын

As a 1980s china grow up Ultraman is definitely one of the favorate kids TV series at 80s therefore it is big deal compare to Pokemon. If you ask them Pokemon they may not know what it is but if you ask pikachu then will be more recognizable. It's all about what you watch at childhood but good to see more and more Pokemon collectors and there is even a physical Pokemon themed shop (big one) opened in Shanghai last year

I've always had English and Japanese but am currently all in on simplified Chinese cards cuz they're at floor value and most Westerners are still dismissive so it's a great opportunity. Probably dropped close to $3k in like 3 weeks buying up those 1st anniversary boxes, PSA 9 & 10 Alolan Friends and other promos lol, will hold long term😁

@WesleyWinter. 2 ай бұрын

Yeah those anniversary boxes are hard to get now. Keep me updated on your Pokémon journey bro! Thanks for checking out the video 👊🏻

As someone who's trying to get back into collecting pokemon cards, it's insane seeing how much people put into it

It surprised me as well. I didn’t think the content was going to be that extreme before filming 😂

Do they have unique art in china? That could be a great early investment? Sometimes there are japanese only prints of certain artworks

@WesleyWinter. 2 ай бұрын

Definitely! A lot of people are going for the anniversary boxes but you can see a lot of the art work in the final store we went to

how popular are the foreign language cards in chinese market?

@WesleyWinter. 5 ай бұрын

Not very at all. Everyone is collecting Chinese cards. The competitive scene is so popular in comparison to people who collect Pokémon cards. Kids seem to collect Ultraman cards instead 😂
