Hottest trend
The MEGA Festa 2026 Magikarp promo event in Seoul dominated the day after dangerously uncontrollable crowds forced authorities to issue a dispersal order and Pokémon Korea to cancel on-site distribution entirely, announcing an online form replacement for May 4th.
Highlighted content
- GameStop’s rumored bid for eBay sent a shockwave through #News & Links, with @fourthstartcg delivering the thread’s best take:
Fourthstar is preparing an offer for Smpratte
- The #qotd on best-looking Pokémon games drew strong support for HGSS and Black & White, with @decoypalmette making a detailed case for BW’s environmental detail after starting a fresh White 2 run.
- The Fossil Pokémon elimination poll rolled into round 7 with Archeops dispatched, and Aurorus now in the community’s crosshairs.
- @explorer shared a tilting card show vendor exchange in which a $12K public comp was dismissed as “shilled low” — the thread’s headache of the day.
- @kranz launched a spectator pass sharing sheet for Pokémon Worlds San Francisco XP, noting passes are now name-locked compared to last year.
Collection updates
- @Metapod_museum announced 100% completion of all TCG-size Metapod cardboard items — including sealed Chinese S cards and unpeeled vending machine sheets — and is now hunting remaining Bandai Kids variants.
- @slowqueen posted a major European Slowpoke haul adding 74+ unique language variants, pushing the collection to 94% overall and hitting 100% German and 100% Korean.
- @tinyroadadhi completed the first Mudkip card in every available language for the Mudkip collection — a months-long effort spanning Russian, Asian, and European printings.
- New members @robopuppy and @b0y0dottxt both opened collection threads — @robopuppy pursuing a Bug-type master set with original fan cards, and @b0y0dottxt chasing every Rotom printing in every language.
That’s all for today — Psyduck out, headache fully earned.
