We took a much needed break from the "junk" and engagement (rage) bait clogging up the timeline to bring you a fresh perspective on the current state of Pokemon Cards.We dive deep into the exhausting cycle of doomscrolling and the toxic culture on X (formerly Twitter) from fake AI accusations to rage bait and etc. and ask: why are we giving these people attention? We discuss the importance of curation, why you don't have to like every single card, and the freedom of stepping away from the hype cycle.We also get into the nitty-gritty of the new Mega Dream ex. We analyze the box hit rates, the "guaranteed" slots, and the crashing market prices of crazy Special Art Rares and the new Mega Attack Rares, Plus, we share a story about refusing to sell a sentimental card for easy money, discuss the weird state of Eeveelutions carrying Terastal Festival.If you love Pokémon TCG collecting, art, and REAL TALK with no sugarcoating, this one’s for you.
