The fact that Greninja and Kingdra special art promos from the bundles are the most sought after cards from this set, should tell you how lame the SIRs are. 😂😂😂

Ya... Pokémon is in a precarious situation. You have all the old timers who like the older mons but they have to also keep things relevant with what's happening in the world of Pokémon in real time, which is why sets like this exist. For me, even tho I never played the games or expansions, I can still appreciate the art of these new sets. I may not go crazy with this set but I know I'll give it a shot just because I always rip the new stuff. I definitely ain't skipping those collection boxes. Those promos are DOPE!!! Thanks for all the info, Scott! Another great and informative vid in the books.

I have a running theory that the Pokemon company looks at it from the opposite perspective and caters to the various ages of the collectors and players with a variety of arts.

@@IneptCardCollectorThey always have to tie things to the current games, tho. The card game wouldn't exist if the video games weren't a thing. Always been this way. We're just creeping up on 30 years of its existence and things get a bit difficult to traverse at that point, in terms of keeping everyone happy.

I wouldn't mind them focusing on new pokemon if the arts looked cool. Was very dissapointed with ograpon and especially these new arts, but the SIRs from early SV like chi-yu and meowscarada look really good.

pokemon center I trust, rakutan I would be worried about. You can get boxes from safe places for around $60 in US, like calipokehouse on tikto, who is also doing rip till you hit if you're into that. It's not as cheap as the packs on pokemon center, but way safer then open market web sites.

I Feel like the Pokémon company is not giving the artists full artistic freedom anymore and these SARS are what we’re left with.
