Alola theme? Shiny Haunter? Guzma SR? You're making it really hard to hate. Alas, there is no shiny Igglybuff, so I have to mention the ladder is dead'n'boring.

I understand the confusion, because it's not in the interest of the customers at all. Even if scalpers sell the product at twice the price, they first need to get if from somewhere. If there's an expectation from the market that the product is going to sell out, it will sell out. But if the...

The cope is hilarious. I agree with this video, especially when he says "I don't blame anyone here, it is Pokemon that are a disaster right now". Did you actually watch it? Obviously distributors and middlemen are going to do shady stuff when the supply is low and the demand is sky-high. But...

Wild to see them print Rare Candy willingly, when it just makes the game monotone - and in Pocket, which lacks consistency cards, will become just another vector for luck.

It's always funny when the designers have to resort to printing "Stop this deck in particular" card. It never looks pretty, but at least it's some kind of a message that they realize their mistake and will hopefully learn from it.

I like how both Bench Manipulations make your opponent flip the coins. It makes no difference gameplay-wise, and yet it's an amazing touch of flavour.

I thought you'll actually be quoting something about access to supply, trying to argue that your store has got enough of it - completely unverifiable data that goes against reports of not just "influencers", but regular store owners, but at least something of value, even if it's dubious. Instead...

I'm glad a random conversation in some random store is enough to contradict dozens of different stores and suppliers. Glad we have it on the books. Why do obvious scalpers insist that it's some kind of "grand conspiracy", when it's literally the basics of TCG investing? TPCi has previously...

Yes, TPC shares some data about how many cards they print. For the entire year, from all the sets in that year. You're thinking they're printing every set equally? Please, just actually go and ask someone who runs a local game store, or even a distributor if you have contact with them (you...

Actually, Pokemon cards in North America are printed by Millennium Print Group, which TPCi owns. In Europe, they're still printed by Carta Mundi, which is shared with a lot of other TCGs. So yes, in Europe, they could have issues with supply, as companies have to book sets at least 6 months in...

Good thing you're having fun when reading things that nobody wrote. But do try to figure out who has absolute control over how many cards get printed, including the actual facility when that printing happens. I'll wait. I'm not upset at all, because I'm not planning to buy any of it. There are...

They have massively underprinted the last Eevee-related set as well. They know what they're printing and they're not clueless. They're not worried about underprinting Shrouded Fable, because there's like 5 people who care about the DLC legends. This is not a "conspiracy", this is basics of how...

The product sold out? That's literally what underprinting is. Keep in mind they've literally bought the printing plant to avoid this.

"We’re aware that some fans are experiencing difficulties purchasing certain Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) products due to very high demand impacting availability." Cool, they are pumping their product in their own statement. "Bro, it's totally due to massive demand for our cool cards, not...

I would complain about printing another bunch of boring acceleration cards, but what the hell is Team Rocket Grunt LMAO It's not better than Misty, but it's all the annoying random gameplay of Misty that's usable in every deck.
