I don't foresee buying sealed product for myself anymore (only for others as occasional gifts), with the possible exception of League Battle Decks. And I think you should do likewise.
Pokemon should reprint every card from RS-PK.

worth noting disc 130 actually has MORE & much earlier concept art for Mega Man Legends, including multiple pieces with untranslated artist comments.

Found this to be the most devastating moment in Legends Z-A. There’s no way to interact with her here, the scene is just composed to haunt you.

Expanded Deck of the Month #47: Steelix
(As I explained recently, I'm now doing one thread per month, it should be a more sustainable rhythm)
Steelix is a fun deck with a unique engine. It's not broken by any means, but it's a one-Prize attacker with decent HP.

So much has changed since 2018. The entire thought process behind decks has changed. We didnt have limitless back in the day. People homebrewed a lot more and added their own unique spin. That era of the tcg is gone, and it is quite sad.

I don't regret leaving Twitter, but I feel less connected to the Pokémon TCG community since I did. It's not always a bad thing, but from a competitive standpoint I don't see the discussion around new decks, techs, and so on, that I used to be able to read.

Today marks 26 years since I began the site that became Serebii!
Every passing year I get more flabbergasted by the site's continual support and growth. There are times when I thought its peak was behind us but this year continues to break records.

I really hope that Expanded comes back in some kind of official capacity because the Pult+Gard dominance of the meta speaks to a lack of deck diversity and creativity, not so much the fault of players as much the game designers and rotational schedule.

Especially now that JustinBasil/Jason has passed away, it really demonstrates the value of archiving the web and democratizing knowledge. We owe so much to hobbyists who do what they do just for the love of the game. The web is built by generous people like that.
its so funny how in the card game space the most important resources are always just some website put together by some fuckin dude
The best resource for Pokemon is JustinBasil, the best for Hearthstone is (I guess arguably) D0nkey, and they're always just labour of loves, and those dudes rock

Rest in peace Jason/Justinbasil. He was such a huge part of the Pokemon TCG community and his contributions were astronomical. Jason was a huge inspiration to, not just us, but to so many people who love this game. The loss will be felt for a while and will be missed by so many. Rest well Jason 🍃

Of all the cool stuff from the Pokemon gigaleak I think the that makes me most joy is confirmation that those rad 3D TCG arts likely all have actual models somewhere based on the model entire for the Holon region in TCG being archived

Expanded Deck of the Week #44: ADP / Bolt
(Threads on Expanded decks, when I feel like it!)
ADP was once an important part of the Expanded format. It's not very relevant anymore, but it does exist, so let's talk about it, and how it can help aggro decks in this metagame!

I do adore that the product photos for the Pokemon Center Jumbo plush always feature a 30 something woman in nice clothes with an otherwise completely sterile normal house full of plain ikea furniture, no other notable decor and then also just a giant Wailord

I will post the updated list with pics later, but in summary:
* 2-player 80-card cube
* additionally, each player starts with 4 Chain Reaction promo Eevees
* cube contains one of each B-N eeveelution
