It's like shitty updates, shitty events, and forcing content nobody likes to do will hurt your profits in the long run. Who knew?

Pandering to tranny faggots with the avatar update was such a bad idea.
 
Trying to complete the Hisui Pokédex in HOME was surprisingly easy, I already had a lot in the game and what I didn't have was easily catchable (except for Poygon and Poygon2 but catching those little bastards was more obnoxious than hard).

But BDSP? That one's going to be annoying, I have to transfer the trade-evo lines to PLA to evolve them without trading and the Legendaries are going to be a pain in the ass to get even with heavily-desired Shiny Pokémon in-hand. And I have to do this with a very low rate of in-game income, farming money in BDSP is notoriously hard.
I really liked that TCG pocket app but then I lost interest and never played again within like 2 weeks
A lot of people aren't happy with the trading function (it's basically an unholy alliance between Wonder Pick energy and a really annoying version of the flair system) and some players are actually quitting the game over it.
 
What is so great about Pokémon cards? No one actually plays the game and it seems like it’s just money launderers pushing a fake economy around it.
People do actually play but collectors, sneaker snipers, hypebeasts, cryptobros and investor faggots fleeing from magic are a problem. They’ve driven a majority of the playerbase to playing live or pocket because of things like the shitshow with 151 and prismatic evolutions where you’re basically just stuck buying singles. They’ve also driven a lot of game stores to the point where they’d rather not host organized play because they wind up getting pressed into selling prize packs to collectors and TPCI’s terrible ordering requirements for stores. The collector and scalper midwits like to rag on the game and tell people that no one plays it, but that’s because they’ve ruined it for the players.

As soon as I saw this, I had to point it out. They know not what potential horrors they have unleashed with this product.
There is people on /vp/ who both cum and shit on their plushies. At this point, I wonder which group is going to get their hands on it first and post their pictures of this poor abused plushie there.
 
Completing Home's Sinnoh Pokédex is 100% going to be an annoying venture, I'm already starting to see a couple of cracks in it already. Turtwig/Chimchar/Piplup can thankfully be found in the Grand Underground but the spawn rate stupidly slow while the Legendaries are going to be a pain in the ass to get via the GTS (whenever I ask for 'em in Home's GTS I end up with Pokémon from GO or ORAS). Other version exclusives are easily obtained via breeding.

Also it appears that all graded playtest cards have been removed from both Fanatics and eBay, just another case of FAFO: Pokémon Edition.

This part of the reason why we're kind of in a "malformed" version of the Shining Fates/Celebrations days: we have the part about people lining up at Targets, people cleaning to stores for resale purposes, and LGSs charging over MSRP for product but we don't have people getting shot, stabbed, or beaten to near-death over said sins.

Also even those sets weren't the first to be heavily scalped. Generations is, at least to me, the first set I think of when I hear the phrase "the scalpers got to 'em" being uttered.

I don't know, they did drop a life-sized Lucario plushie back in 2022.

If this Gardevoir plushie costs around the same as the Lucario plushie did most /vp/ users will be priced out of it.
 
Something hilarious I’ve noticed is all of a sudden the investoor fags have decided they no longer hate shrouded fable and have taken to buying up both illustration rares of Persian and Houndoom as well as the duskull line. They act the same way my toddler does when asked to eat the vegetables on her plate: they put on a show to make you think they like them, but we both know that’s not the truth.

It’s times like this I am thankful Konami reprints Yu-Gi-Oh into the ground constantly.

S:P little knight putting investor fags on suicide watch was funny. Konami knows that their game is primarily played by kids despite all of the adults so they also don’t opt for 3 different versions of the same card in the same set like pkmn and mtg do.
 
Sirknight is Gardevoir's Japanese name, to be fair.
Still, this thing is clearly being advertised for girls/women in Japan.

Meanwhile in the west, you just know a fuck-ton of guys are going to buy this because they treat Gardevoir as solely female because waifu culture.

In a way, its fucking bronies all over again.
