I think it's several factors but mainly SV really just doesn't hit like Sw/sh did. The sets don't really have the same appeal for whatever reason and there were so many changes made all at once. It kinda killed all the momentum that Swsh finished on. Ive spent less than $150 on SV products so far and I spent thousands on Swsh. The poketubers need to make videos no matter how they feel about the sets

Scarlet and Violet tcg slaps, and if people don’t like it they probably shouldn’t open it and instead purchase things they do like. It’s starting to show in the content. More SV goodness for the rest of us

You’re awesome brotha couldn’t agree with you more I have been watching pokecuz cause he just loves it and has fun with it I love pokerev but it does look like he’s not having fun anymore it’s a shame Pokémon cards is an outlet and a getaway from reality should never feel like a job

You can tell who actually plays/enjoys the games. I also think if your bread and butter is JUST the monetary hype of the pack openings, then you have makings of burning out. They got shops/ mystery packs to sell, so the business side of this whole thing could just be taking a toll lol 🤷♂

To be completely honest with you I’ve stopped watching people that can’t even bother to get to know the new Pokemon and dunk on the new Pokemon (unless they get a card that gets expensive). And I can very much tell as I’ve played the heck out of scarlet and violet and both DLC’s. It’s very chameleon like and disingenuous to me and even more annoying when they’re making money off a product the Pokemon company makes and don’t have enough respect or awareness to realize that just because something isn’t the same as it was during their childhood it doesn’t mean it’s bad or trash. I’m up to here with hearing about 151 like oh my god I grew up knowing the original 151 as well but guess what we’re in 2024 and there’s SO MANY OTHER POKEMON like…..oh man it’s so annoying to me at least. Not to mention the freaking art that’s coming out set after set in the scarlet and violet era

The dunking on new Pokemon and sets imo is people mad they can’t milk them for cash anymore 🤷🏽♂️ these SV sets are objectively better than most of Sun and Moon but they’re affordable. Says a lot.

Some content creators ruin the fun for everyone. Only cause they don’t like a certain set, they try down talking so others can follow along. And only reason they do is because they’re their true “supporters”. I’m glad someone said it 🤷🏻♀️

People are sick of the narrative, and prob sick of having to make content within the narrative. For an example, you might as well have said a racial slur if you say you like Shrouded Fable. The narrative says you can only like the Greninja and the Kingdra Promo's, but not the rest of the set. Literally, you have to say it just like that or you're stupid and dont know anything about Pokemon. This leads to boring content, and bored creators.

I was feeling kinda over the collecting and was going to switch to pure playing, but Krystal's video on nine-coloring gathering, got me into colleting a different language for the first time. I have a blast opening those packs, even if there aren't any big money cards. She may not be yelling when she gets a big pull, but you can tell she is generally excited to share.
