I have been eagerly anticipating this hack since many months ago. Even more impressive is the game being a binary hack instead of a decompilation hack.

By the by, are you familiar with Pokémon Amethyst?


...I jizzed in my pants. /joke/

I downloaded it but still didn't play yet. The good thing is the longer I wait to play, there is probably more time to improve the hack as the time goes on.

Well, pokemon designs were never good in the first place. I would rate any Shin Megami Tensei or Digimon monster design above it, they look cool and monstrous.
 
I just got an email from Pokémon Center saying my package has shipped and it’s supposedly arriving tomorrow. The weird thing is that the charge on my card was lifted a couple of weeks ago and, if the pattern from my last preorder is any indication, it’ll probably be properly charged either the day of delivery or in the days after (with Sunday and Tuesday being the most likely days).

That said I’ve received word that the Pokémon Fossil Museum exhibit at Chicago’s Field Museum is giving out a stamped Archeops promo card and it’s reselling for around $200. The only other Archeops card to go for around that much is the Secret Rare print from Dark Explorers (the Staff Archeops from Silver Tempest’s prereleases is around $25 and the IR from White Flare is less than $10).

I hate what the hobby’s become… :(

Have you seen the weird pumping on the prices of bulk cards? The dunsparce from JTG is rising to $4. The hobby is going to get much worse.

To be fair that’s because JTG’s Dunsparce is the preferred Basic for Dundunsparce draw (which is proving to be a viable draw engine if the results of Utrecht Regionals is any indication) since the only other Standard-legal Dunsparce is the 60 HP one from Paldea Evolved, a max HP you really don’t want in a Dragapult-heavy format.

Also, prices for Dunsparce JTG were decent until rotation. After that point it’s been rising until it hit said $3-$4 range at the beginning of the week and now it’s starting to drop.

EDIT: I forgot to mention in my previous post that tickets to the Pokémon Fossil Museum at the Field Museum are separate from general admission, tickets for the museum cost $30 and the tickets for the event are an additional $30. That still doesn’t justify the $200-$250 price range for the promo.
