Burned out? Anyone else going through this?

[pokecrazy]

I’ve been focusing on my other hobbies, recently built a custom water cooled PC and picked up some gunpla modelling kits. As others have mentioned take a break and explore other things.

@crushingame I think for many people on this forum pokemon is something that brings a lot of joy but also takes up a decent amount of time. At the end of the day though, it’s a hobby… And if it’s got you feeling worn out, probably a good idea to take a break for a bit, and spend a little more time with family or friends or building something or getting into a new game or volunteering or anything else besides pokemon… There are plenty of possibilities. Then in a few weeks or months I’m sure you’ll feel excited to jump back into everything Pokemon.

I’ll never get burnt out on that sweet nostalgic 90s feel.

I agree it is always good to take breaks this can be very addicting, sometimes I find myself searching for a couple hours.

What helps me the most is stepping back and forgetting about the money. I recently made a purchase (yesterday actually), where I knew it was intentionally NOT investing in pokemon, but solely ENJOYING pokemon. They are called Pokeminis… they are 1/3 scale 1st edition pokemon card blister packs that have the same artwork and have 7 mini cards including a holo in each pack. Opening those packs and getting that excitement and anticipation of maybe seeing a giant toad or turtle or lizard jump out at me!! Heck. I think i’ll make a tiny binder to put them in!

Any amount of OCD (which I am sure most of us have to an extent), paired with our monetary dependent society can drag us away from the joy of something we grew up loving without the pressure of money.

Guys… the Pokeminis were FANTASTIC!!! It was full blown nostalgia and excitement and I am hooked. The holos look great and they’re just the right amount of uniqueness paired with great homage to the originals. Check out these sick pulls! (Ps. I bought 6 packs)
