    “Masks of Ogerpon Premium Collection” Revealed for June!

    I guess I want it - 49 bucks in THIS ECONOMY may actually be decent - but that means 62$ at GameStop - not sure where we will be at post Rivals and if that set is in this box - I don’t think they usually do 10 packs in Black Friday stuff usually it’s like 6 packs and jumbo but they’re always...

    “Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection” Releasing in June!

    Didn’t see them/that! That’s wild change of direction/decision for them to make 1 or 2 sets from the end of an era!

    “Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection” Releasing in June!

    The contest promos absolutely *cannot* be the last SV promos as I said there are only 10 open slots before those contest promos and a new set is usually 9 cards for a core set - if we’re getting 2 special sets then 2 open chunks of 5 spots would make sense but rocket is a full set and we don’t...

    “Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection” Releasing in June!

    This full art promo 204 and the Mewtwo 205 alerted me to how these are throwing off my promo number counts for mapping the future sets/products… they usually have the build and battle promos (4) / the checklane blister promos (4) / then ETB promo(s) (1 or 2) all together in #s but now the gaps...

    Help Just got spectator tix for worlds - any advice?

    Maybe the wrong place to post this but - here’s to trying! Never been to worlds and I’ve never even talked to anyone that has - I’ve only seen a few youtube videos of people there but they more were showing the space and like merch and not explaining the whole thing… what do I ***reallly***...

    PokeBeach Podcast: Team Rocket Cards Revealed, What’s Happening with Product Shortages?

    I’ve absolutely got a joltik on my shoulder over being in a digital queue for almost 3 hours this morning - something’s gotta give 😮‍💨but this was nice to watch after my frustrations - I think for once I may be on team John with regards to Pokémon card engagement because I have a ton of friends...

    “Pokemon Card Game MEGA” Trademarked, Goodbye “Scarlet & Violet!”

    Literally nothing makes me more mad then the fact they didn’t make a card for each of the tera hats designs… just not making all the versions in full arts SURE. FINE. But not even 1 card for poison rock or flying? CRIMINAL. And orgepon doesn’t count because that is not the hat 😮‍💨 As a...

    “Rival Battle Decks” Featuring Marnie and Steven Pokemon Revealed for May, Reveals Info About “Destined Rivals!”

    Are these the same list as the decks from Japan? Are we REALLY getting closer to 1:1 Japan:tpci ?! Also …FINALLY decks need more than an alt regular ex to SELL THEM and this is a fantastic step in the right direction for once and not just tons wasted cardboard to stay on shelves/pegs not selling...

    Me and my full “reverse holo card Pokédex” binder sets are VERY happy these exist now and I don’t have holes with a hope and a dream a’la Eternatus and Kadabra

    Worlds 2025 Artwork Revealed, Spectator Badge Interest List!

    Really random but can spectators participate in the “side events” and manage to get a “worlds championship promo” or do only the active participants in the championship get them? These California ones are the only ones that seem feasible for me to get too so if that’s possible I’m going to...

    GameStop Discontinues Pokemon TCG Preorders at Stores and Website!

    Game stop should instead limit the preorders to 2 like the purchase limits but make it so ONLY PROs can preorder so then it would limit scammers since you need an ID to become a pro - they’re basically only not out of business because of their cards and this is gonna stop so many people from...

    “Destined Rivals” English Pokemon Set Releasing in May!

    I’m still not 100% convinced it’s not our special set - destined rivals could very easily be referring to all those trainers since we are “destined” to “rival” them to get through the story 😮‍💨 and they have been slowly creeping towards similar/ simultaneous Japan release tables so 🤞🤞 It’s just...

    Pokemon Center Implementing a New Queue System, Presumably to Combat Bots!

    I’m not certain I understand how this deters bots and is not just adding them to the queue with everyone else? But anything is better than what’s happened in the drops recently

    Special English Set Releasing in July, Could Be “Black Bolt” and “White Flare!”

    What is this difference you were looking for? It’s a set to feature every single Unova Pokémon…so it will be full of their beauty ?? How is it being set#.0 or set#.5 change anything other than maybe being able to purchase a booster box and packs rather then collections and ETBs? My thought is...
