giratina V was highly playable. I think at the time, someone just capitalized on that and caused a price panic by buying a lot of them and led to where it led.

I don’t care what the card is, if there is a sunset or a moon, I tend to like it. I realized how easy I am to please in this regard after a while from browsing cards one time.
this is the card that made me realize it. I was like, “its just a caterpie sitting there doing nothing”
“…yeah but moody moonlight.” said the other part of my brain.
So I am quite self aware of it now.

It’s not sitting there doing nothing
the moon, going through cycles and phases to it’s full state always symbolized transformation, renewal, and rebirth in human history. The caterpie, although not sophisticated enough to be meta cognicient of itself being the textbook pokemon of transformative metamorphosis, is biologically wired to be very sensitive and synchronized with the lunar satellite.

I hate the “card trick” when opening packs. I never ever saw it nor used it as a kid, and I just prefer to pen packs the old fashioned way(which is idk manically looking through the cards). Tbh I didn’t even know holos were always in the same spot as a kid.
100% against the card trick!! It’s overbearing dominance needs to stop!

This is probably unpopular in the greater Pokemon sphere, but I think you’re in good company with this opinion on E4 🫱🏻🫲🏼

Calling it a “trick” is what irks me more than the act itself. I prefer to get disappointed the old fashioned way.

I guess the “trick” is only useful for youtuber to build suspense.

If Japanese cards were more expensive than english cards, we would be saying that Japanese cards are better and English is Inferior.
Sun and Moon was one of our best era’s overall in terms of the anime, game, and tcg.
Mega Rayquaza was and still is the most broken character in competitive gaming history
There is no bubble, this is the new norm for pokemon

I know you have a very hard bias but Xerneas and Zacian would like to say hello!
Also, aren’t Japanese cards widely accepted to be better than English?
Cheers!

Zacian and Xerneas never created a new tier on the list and can one shot pokemon with 7 different moves. They are however EXTREMELY broken. Japanese cards to average collectors are ranked lower than english and some refuse to collect them,

Smogon Singles is an unofficial fan created format, including Ubers and AG.
VGC is the official competitive format, in which Mega Rayquaza was very strong (it won 2016 worlds thanks to Wolfe Glick), but not the meta-warping forces that Xerneas and Zacian-Crowned were in their respective metagames.

Don’t get me wrong, Mega Rayquaza was a huge deal back in the day when Singles was more popular than VGC. Even though Zacian-Crowned and Miraidon also got banned to AG, Mega Ray set the bar and is best remembered for that.

Pop reports do not always reflect rarity. I think this has been stated here before. Crazy markets often recycle unpopular opinions. I hate when I see it’s a pop 1 PSA 10 SV Krabby. Yeah well no kidding. Who’s grading this!
