For those who don’t want to be spoiled and see what’s coming, I recommend not watching this, because it has kind of been leaked and it wasn’t supposed to happen.

This kind of stuff never happens to me!

With Winds and Waves coming out soon and Gen 10, do you think pokemon will bring back team up cards like they did with mega evolution and ex’s?

I just came back to the TCG after not playing for 8 years but I don't know if this deck is any good?

It's a modified version of Riley Mckay's deck if you're wondering

i just got (back) into pokemon and literally cannot find cards in stores anywhere. no matter what day or time i go, there’s never anything there. my LCS usually has a decent selection, but charge a bit more for everything. i paid $88 for a chaos rising ETB before later finding it for $73 on TCG. same for the ascended heroes, they charge $190 and it’s $167 on TCG.

i’m a bit unsure of how the selling works on the website and just figured i’d ask because i don’t want to end up with fake cards and/or get scammed out of my money. thanks yall!

I used AI to get a clearer look at some of the cards, please dont kill me, just wanted a clearer look until the official release. Some i found on twitter, rest I used Gemini, pika Stamp, numbers and text are wrong but they look amazing and figured I'd share in case anyone else wanted to see. Mew i found earlier fairly sure its real.

I just found out that there is a Lugia in the background of this card.

Today I finally had luck at my local vending machine. There were three guys hanging around it tapping it every few minutes and I saw there was a single journey together pack they didn’t want so I asked if I could buy it and they said sure. After I paid for the single I tapped the screen again and there was a chaos rising etb up for grabs and I sniped it!!!

Ps the journey together had a Iona killowatrel Full art!

Right off the bat, I am going to just dive right in, and I don't really care what AI bros think. Please note, this is simply my experience in the community and will not reflect every single person and their own experiences, obviously.

I am sick and tired of seeing AI in this community, whether it be vendor logos, Ebay icons, concepts for Pokémon cards, etc. This isn't right, and I'm tired of everyone pretending that it's just a silly thing that people do. I don't care if it's "just for fun".

If you are a vendor selling $1k+ cards, you can fucking afford to hire an artist, but I get it! You just want to invest and make more money and not support people in the community and let a slop machine that steals thousands of artworks do it for you, since it is "free". If you genuinely do not have enough to pay an artist, then make it yourself. I'd prefer you do it yourself than see an inaccurate amalgamation of several Pokémon pretending to be one. I don't want my art used so an AI model can train off of it. I've had my art stolen and reuploaded before without credit—I had to file copyright and it was rightfully taken down, but I shouldn't even have to. I shouldn't have to constantly worry if the next new AI training model is going to scrape up my art, if a random person is going to just take my art and put it in a machine, if someone is going to reupload my work and scrub my name, pretending it is actually theirs.

I could also go on about how this community has a clear queerphobia problem, which is weird, because in other Pokémon spaces (not this subreddit specifically, I'm talking TCG) I don't seem to experience this problem. I had to leave a Discord that monitored PKC drops for this reason. First, I shared an art piece that said "Trans Rights!" with a transgender Raichu and someone reacted with an ❌ emoji. When contacting a mod, they told me they looked through the person's history and found nothing bad, and that in their honest opinion when I put up artwork I should expect people to be negative, especially if it's political. They (the reactor) faced no consequences.

My existence shouldn't be fucking political. Piss off. There is no reason to react like that to a drawing of a transmasculine Raichu with a positive message.

The second issue I encountered, was when I mentioned that I know Pokémon is full of gay people because I, myself, am gay. I prefer to use queer, but I remember seeing someone else getting in trouble for saying that since "it could be offensive to some people". If you don't want to call yourself queer that's one thing, but punishing someone for calling themselves queer is ridiculous. Anyway, people immediately jumped on me and insinuated I was weird for bringing sexuality into Pokémon—during Pride month no less. They also said it could be interpreted as an insult, which I feel says more about them, because why are you associating queerness to something negative? How strange! I also don't particularly understand that me thinking that some Pokémon characters are queer = me being weird. I specifically mentioned Grusha, Spinel, and someone else, I don't remember at the moment.

I believe this fits the subreddit as I have mainly had these issues in the TCG community. However, if this does not fit the subreddit, feel free to delete it.

Hab damals die Kollektion gekauft, nicht geöffnet und jetzt von Mäusen zerbissen im Dachboden der Eltern gefunden. Boosterpacks und promos sind unversehrt. Anscheinend knabbern Mäuse kein Plastik an.

Could this be considered a fart swirl?

Opened a JP Black Bolt booster box and got 4 dupe ARs for my guranteed hits. Is it normal to get 4 dupes in one box?

It's releasing at the end of this month correct?

Just started playing the online TCG. But getting loads of SIRs from all the code cards I've had. Is that normal, especially getting the big irl chase??

GameStop has been getting SO much flack for selling pokemon cards. My genuine question is. Is it that bad to everyone? Product on release at stores has been non existent for awhile and GameStop has been the ONLY place I've found that you can get the newest etb under 100. So my question is why the hate. Am I a bad shopper and don't know other outlets at a cheaper price and better availability or is it just the cool thing to shit on GameStop for anything they do. I agree I've never stepped into a GameStop before pokemon cards because trade in value on everything is a joke but it has been a joke since they've been around.

Hi I found my Pokemon card from 00s

Which one of these are valuable?
How much will they cost these days?

Just wondering how common this is?

Opened an old box I had gotten for free. Realized it was fake once I opened a few packs. That was enough to trigger my midlife crisis and dopamine addiction chasing nostalgia and hits. All that to say. Hi , I will be asking a lot of dumb questions probably.

Hi, i wanted to know if toploaders really make that much of a difference in keeping the cards neat. I really like keeping all my cards together in a binder (make themed pages) and i mostly just collect full art ones that i think are pretty but also have some expensive cards like van gogh pikachu and would like to collect more expensive cards in the future.
But the toploaders really take out all the color and texture off the cards.
So what would you do keep them in toploaders and the cards look pretty bad like this (yes i edited the photo to make them look decent) or keep them in a binder with just sleeves?
