In love with all four of the alts in this set! Really solid bout of SR's here- As much as I wish Kyurem got an alt, I'm not at all mad with what we did get, especially with such good art. And, it's going to be extremely satisfying having a row of Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina's Alts in my...

I can't tell if this is a troll comment or not. But... How are rainbows "unique" when they, for the entirety of their existence, been palette swaps of already-existing renders from Full Art GXs, VMAXs, VSTARs, and Full Art Trainer artworks? At least Full Arts have their own renders and VStars...

Not necessarily. Astral Radiance had non-Hisuian supporters like Gardenia, Grant, and Roxanne. I don't think they're going to just "stop" making Hisuian trainers anytime soon, even after this year, where I'm sure some will inevitably pop up from time to time.

It's because they mistakenly uploaded a different Rotom V for the translation image. This is the correct Rotom that goes with the translation.

Always happy to see more Kyurem nowadays! As a big BW fan, would be great to see it get an alt. Also, yay for Glastrier and Spectrier finally getting their first independent, non-Calyrex cards. Was wondering when they'd get to that.

Hah! Look at it! That's a funny lookin' trainer card. It looks so dubious!

I've noticed that this set is rather underwhelming to most people- and I'd be inclined to agree that it's not the best set recently. I think it's partially a mix of the contents of the set on its own, but also, a big chunk of it is the contents of the set in the context of what we've been...

I'm well aware posting this might make me the villain of this comment section, but allow me to put my more nuanced take on all this. I think the point here is that the very pronounced outrage of it can be a bit tiring when there's plenty of stuff to be excited for or discuss, that then gets...

I should specify I'm actually in an urban area where Pokemon is rather popular- near a major city in the US, to specify as much as I can without giving out much of my location. I don't mean to deny anything that there still aren't issues in finding product, but I wanted to merely make it known...

Can't vouch for you, but it's been pretty easy in my area to find cards. And I'm not just talking the same 5 things they always stock everywhere, I went hunting around last week and found plenty of new releases. At least from my perspective, this is not nearly as bad as 2021 was. Both in actual...

Is this related to TCG Live? I've heard it's a complete dumpster fire (Which I figured it would be since the day they announced it...) I'll have to check it out.

Yeah, no, absolutely. It's up there, but like you said, it's been outclassed a couple times now. I've got not much of a use for Conkeldurr just because I've got an army of Shadow Machamp for any situation where I need Fighting types. I think they probably picked this one though just because...

I don't get whenever people make arguments like this- Generally with more popular Pokemon but we're also seeing some parts of it here. Conkeldurr getting printed as a V has no bearing on whether or not Bellossom (or any Pokemon, for that matter) get an Ultra Rare or just any card. And besides...

I don't think this one's really going to be meta-relevant, nor is Enamorus a very popular Pokemon. That's 0/2 on the things that usually drive up value hard. Not to mention, Cogita doesn't have the recognition that, say, Cynthia does (even if she's better...) There's plenty of cards with...

BREAKthrough Magnezone was pretty good in Standard! That's pretty recent, only... ...Six and a half years old now. Never mind. It has been a minute.

Charizard doesn't fuel Rainbow Rares, Rainbow Rares fuel more unnecessary cards. It really isn't a correlation. With the system that Pokemon decides to make RR's for, it just happens that more chase Charizard cards come to be as well. The demand and popularity of Charizard is what fuels those...

Interesting! I wonder if they'll go with that for this set, I completely forgot about the Lake fights until you mentioned them. I have a feeling we'll see most, if not all of the new Hisuian Pokemon/Evolutions get some kind of V down the line through this year. They've been going pretty heavy...

Well... I understand the logic behind it, which I already explained to you from a business standpoint, and the fact that there are much more pressing issues in the TCG that I care about over than something like this. Pull rates, Rainbow Rares, etc. are all things I'd much rather the TCG improve...

I feel like your point exists merely to go "Popular Pokemon BAD!" like a lot of the people on this site like to do already, conveniently ignoring the marked improvement we've had in obscure Pokemon getting Ultra Rares and shinies in the years since Sun and Moon ended. Face it- They're not going...

I think it's worth noting that there's plenty of legitimate collectors who were affected by this hype period of low supply and high demand. I don't want it to look like the collector's side of the TCG is exclusively these "monetary-value-obsessed" collectors when a lot of us were struggling to...
