Leonhart : "Here it's in Spanish" Any French or Spanish speaker : **triggered**

[@Leonhart]

sorry ;-D

[@thediamondcrystal]

Same...

I am French :) I thought it was funny... :)

[@Wendy-vb8sw]

Cringe

[@gabgenqc-collectibles]

I really laughed when you said it's written in spanish and it's actually in french xD

[@ghostgatsby9004]

This is so good for new players, I taught Pokémon to kids before lockdown and this is going to be so helpful when we open up again!

[@duleinthebooktuber3058]

I subscribed to you so I hope you do the same.

[@Ankorshark]

Dulein The booktuber nobody does that, you have to work for subscribers

[@duleinthebooktuber3058]

Suntail *: well you yes you do, but then again do you tell me what to do.

[@frankiesamo1563]

I'm buying this and I've been playing for almost a year

[@frankiesamo1563]

@@Ankorshark hes got you there

[@autobotrock4789]

I've only been collecting 19 years. I don't think I'm ready to learn to play.

[@Jk12278]

I felt this.

[@damsanspokemon6413]

I feel attacked

[@smallla1514]

😂😭 I never learned how to play, I've been collecting since I was a kid

[@funnyusername7097]

I only brought them for there cards the gxs that come free with the decks that is why I brought them

[@cantiflascantiflas8460]

I know how to play Yu-Gi-Oh! Since 19 years but Pokémon I never learned, but I got this for the charizard lol

[@MazterP28]

This is the coolest thing I have seen. When Pokémon was around we didn’t have anything like this. Just books.

[@Darshy91]

Well if you were born in the 90s do you wanna head cards because they came out then in 1998 probably collected them as a kid

[@scottt7458]

There was a really old Pokemon "Master Trainer" board game where you collected Pokemon and fought in a tournament. I don't remember much about it and didn't have it for very long because our cat at the time crapped all over it

[@reyrata_1335]

This is false this game is made by him you dont know¿¿

[@MazterP28]

david robert you right

[@MazterP28]

Scott T I gave this game

[@dylangreentree102]

Leonhart saying “What up hartsquad!” Is classic

[@MazterP28]

Can we get a t-shirt with that on it. What’s up heartsquad?

[@VikingNZ]

I purchased this box about a month ago and it revived my love of Pokemon and the cards so much that I've got back into collecting them, and playing the TCG for the first time.

[@Chefboy_RT]

I bet if you visit the pyramids there’s hieroglyphics of Leonhart opening Pokémon Cards!!

[@Mr_Doughkage]

They released this same stuff 20+ years ago. I remember because my babysitter and older brother bought it for me and I learned how to play the TGC as my introduction to pokemon on my 4th birthday. It is so freaking cool that they repackaged a starter kit again. I think I'm gonna pick this up for my kiddos.

[@motomon9848]

It’s the game that teaches you how to play the game 😂😂😂

[@RubensBudgetCreations]

MtG had something like this 20+ years ago and it is a great way to learn the game. I'm planning to buy this to play with my son.

[@dcjagga8314]

Ikr

[@gripghoulshorts2503]

Damn I wish Pokemon Main Series games *were half as good as their merch and anime teams!*

[@shanchar]

Imagine we could use those frekin fighting ideas like main series character Using moves to get advantage Pokemon get powerful with you if you care it a lot And u can mix your moves to get a strong advantage/movr

[@winnipegwhatever]

If you look back at this intro : FINALLY not fake delivery. It's honest and watchable and not pandering to kids but still appeals to all demographic of audience. I don't know if it's cuz you had to learn the expensive way with loss to get this growth but its nice to see.

[@Havoc_cultleader]

*Sniff* "Mmmm smells like new Pokemon cards" -Leonhart 2020- also Kaggy stole our chance to voice act as Leon plus your name is Leon LOL

[@justinpenascosa]

I was going to suggest this to be opened, YOU READ MY MIND!! This piece is such a great addition to a collection.

[@Leonhart]

thanks justin!

[@Sipes1990]

Just ordered this for me and my son! He's turning 6 in January and already liked Pokemon cards. Time to teach him how to BATTLE!

[@terabhaiseedhemaut]

You're A Cool Dad :D

[@PokePastor]

I love the fact that it is an actual hardback board. The ones that come in deck boxes are so flimsy, rip easy, and never really lay flat.

[@gogetassjgd17]

Yeah, I have an old board and its all ripped

[@elhanafiboukhemal2593]

This is good for brand new people that started playing pokemon like me!

[@the-zach-chan]

14:39 That's not spanish, it's french! As someone who's first language is french, that made me laugh out loud XD

[@thediamondcrystal]

Agree! XD

[@lordmath331]

My first language is spanish and also make me laugh.

[@nubcakesswed]

Likely Canadian for those packs

[@mr_york_3148]

Just here to say you have inspired me to do my own KZbin channel , I love your content and how you give back to your fans ! One day i wish to be in your shoes opening Pokémon cards and showing love to all my fans ! THANKS LEONHART !

[@iPost8]

Little kids only got this to expand their collection looool who agrees?

[@murph1329]

the deck logo on the cards is rally nice for younger players so you can keep the decks organized because these players probably won't be using sleeves

[@unclebobey]

Leonhart is the best Pokémon channel ever!

[@brandonmercado6108]

[@jamesshoemaker5105]

Editing has been on point lately, nice job. It's a lot of work!

[@Leonhart]

thanks james!

[@chrisatkinson5004]

I noticed the charizard and pikachu deck had numbers on the cards next to the symbol but the mew deck did not. Error already?

[@lavnyasingh8765]

I also got this game, it is very fun and I am huge fan of pokemon! Good video😀😀

[@loczyn]

I bought previous version to play with my 6 yo daughter and only what I can say - is the best TCG for playing with a kid, and these Battle Academy is PURE GOLD. Great start for the newbies.

[@Ramsters]

Are the cards specially made for this, or can you actually use them in Standard?

[@KyleZOutdoors]

You could use any decks and use these decks in standard games

[@TheHerosbaby]

I'm always like I guess I'll watch this video and wait until 1 when the hartsquad assembles lol

[@kellycampbell9861]

I think this is awesome for anyone who doesn't understand how to play the game. It would also be great for family game night for my son. I may have to look at getting this for him. Bonus, he won't have to risk messing up his good cards to learn how to play the game and he can also teach his dad how to play the game in the process.

[@MrCb221789]

Me and my brother have this we've been playing Pokemon for years since we were kids we're one year apart I'm 28 he's 29 and we use this board to play our current game and it's helped us stay updated with the rules love this product

[@Zach-yh7kh]

I just bought that with my sister to learn the game and its perfect!! we had no problem learning the game! And thats pretty nice having a board!

[@michelpoitras49]

I love collecting decks, never ending fun with my wife battling this was 3 for 30$ and extras on top. Price was way lower than it could have been 10/10 reccommend

[@FatherJacob]

Is this still out and where do they sell it at?

[@toryjonase162]

theres dollaramas in canada, dont know if theres some in america too

[@toryjonase162]

@Chonky Chicken ah i see thanks for the info i was wondering what those were for a long time...

[@DCruzKevin]

@Chonky Chicken theres dollar trees in Canada too

[@keniforus]

Gotta doller tree across from dollerama by my house in Toronto. Never seen a dollerama in the states tho.

[@pascald7863]

Always thought there were only dolloramas here in quebec lol nice to know

[@toast99bubbles]

The fire and electric decks have numbers on all the cards, but the psychic deck doesn't have numbers on them. Interesting. I do like how they have the little thing on them to show they're from this set. Kinda makes the cards slightly unique.

[@dilley_esq]

It's for the "guided game". you keep the cards in deck order for the first playthrough and the instructions walk you and the player 2 through the first battles.

[@toast99bubbles]

@@dilley_esq I know that, but in terms of collecting, those specific cards are special and unique variants.

[@dilley_esq]

@@toast99bubbles I gotcha! I thought you were just wondering why they had numbers. Since you said “interesting”. 👍🏼

[@FIDDY-FAT-P]

Is this worth it just to put them in a binder cos the charizard mewtwo and raichu look mint

[@mariovalentino6229]

Thanks for getting me back into collecting!

[@jastumba10]

Tech Decks were the mini skateboards and the battle academy is a nice intro to actually playing the card game.

[@phillanthony]

Just bought this for my stepdaughter who has been wanting to play for Christmas, because my gf and I only collected and never played. Now we get to all learn together 💜

[@SharkBait2o9]

Just ordered this, just started collecting. The holo cards looks nice, and seem cool to have. A little worried as a good amount of reviews say some cards are missing from a sealed box...

[@_JustAnotherKid__]

It's my birthday and through youtube recommendations I got sent here. I used to watch your videos, glad to see you've blown up quite a bit, keep up the great work 😉👍

[@walktimesmith1384]

I stopped collecting cards a few years ago but bought this to start collecting again and those gx are great to start again Edit: Meowth in the Mewtwo book was vibing

[@jeancarlodelaluz6415]

What's the price on this? Looks like a starter deck for my nephews. Kinda wish it had some tool and pokemon with abilities so they can also see what else is there. Having every type of card can show them the variety of what they can do. I think I'm still gonna add some cards.

[@xcs0156]

At Target it’s $20!! Just bought it.

[@jeancarlodelaluz6415]

@@xcs0156 was hoping it was cheaper since it doesn't have much. Mewtwo is the only good one. Maybe charizard but it lacks variety. Seen it at best buy and target for 20. Target didn't have the promo of 50% off.

[@pokemonbehemoth2034]

I remember a game on Gameboy where they explain how to play the card game.

[@iPost8]

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

[@amberoliver6433]

SAME!

[@heatherdeschenes6985]

Hi leonhart hope you reach 1MIL by the end of July keep up the good work ❤️💪🏻

[@martinclan3451]

It is not really a board game, it’s just a sort of simplified version of the TCG

[@KyleZOutdoors]

Right. And playable as standard tcg as well

[@Warr666]

Just got one for my daughters birthday coming up. So excited for her to open this up!

[@PokemonHolo]

Your recent video's have been top notch quality~!

[@RichardMontgomeryYT]

Should I get this or a mini tin for a starter?

[@thecraftyproject4347]

What does everyone think the collector value on the 3 hidden fates GX cards are? Especially with the unique stamps; im curious.

[@danielplasencia7724]

I'm actually going to buy one and keep it wrapped. This gives me a Nintendo nostalgic feeling And. O it's not a coin. It's a POG ;-D

[@shamimansari28]

I hope everyone is having a good day !!

[@Dhyan.patel272]

I think the skateboard toys were called tech decks idk

[@triplegamez6850]

Just bought one , I'm a very old fan of pokemon tcg but never got to have any cards until a few month ago! I got a starter box and this it helped me get over 300 cards! I did have some cards 3 years ago but they were lost and never got to learn it

[@irenevogelsang2791]

I just bought this today and found it amazing!! I’m learning how to play for my son and it helped us both learn how to play better... definitely need to take our time learning however I find it to be an amazing stepping stone!!!

[@ANerdNamedMark]

Just a heads up, Target's online app and website will say they are out of stock at a store you pick but really they are in stock. There is an issue with them showing up in the inventory.

[@AbderrahmenBesbes]

does all boxes have the same content (cards) ?

[@KingAtomsk]

A few months ago I started playing the GameBoy Color Pokémon TCG and it reminded me how much I love actually playing this game. I’m definitely going to get this and try teaching my friends to play.

[@HexSableye]

My daughters have peen wanting me to teach them to play the TCG, and i havent had any idea where to start. This is going ti be a great way to teach them! I hope i can find one.

should be at target now

Ill check after work 😁

What kind of decks are you playing Leonhart? Any particular Pokemon?

[@RebbieChan]

Does anyone know what you get when you use the code card? Do you get the decks or just the coin ?

Is it worth it to get the Charizard or Pikachu from the set PSA Graded?

[@Noahyoutubefunnyman]

as someone who just got into pokemon tcg this box looks perfect for me, im looking at one with eevie v deck and pikachu v deck that would fit perfectly into my play style

[@patrickhabs]

That wasn’t in stock at mine and there was no discount as of 2 hours ago

[@Peppermon22]

The 10% is still on the target app. Should have pulled that and showed them.

[@captainspaulding5728]

The theme decks all have a paper playmat with the same layout as the cardboard playmat and a small version of the rule books this is still a great deal tho

[@scotthelm7558]

Thank you for sharing this with us, Leonhart. I always look forward to your videos. The Squirtle in my Pokémon Blue game says hi! Thank you for another awesome vid. May peace be with you and have a wonderful day, my dude. #HartSquadForLife

[@jasonmartin7297]

I think this is the best starter product they ever released. The fact that they have two "beginner" decks, and then an "advanced" deck for a player to move up to once they get the basics, PLUS that amazing board, makes it a great buy IMHO. I run a hobby shop, and TPCi have really stepped up their game with the beginner products in the past two years or so. This is a product we keep in stock perpetually, and it's great for cracking for singles for our purposes as well, given that it includes a Charizard, Mewtwo, and Raichu Ultra Rare. They are also stamped promos, which makes them great for new collectors wanting to go past the standard expansions!

[@Avathrowsjavelin]

Leonhart, Thank you sooooo much for making my day every time you release a video. you've gotten me back into collecting, after i stopped from being bullied for it. you've really helped me boost my confidence and make me excited to wear my pokemon shirts and sweatshirts. because of you, ive found more kids at my school who have been in this same situation. again thank you so so so so so so so much for inspiring me to do what i love. I am going into 8th grade and im a girl, so people always are like "ooh ur a girl u shouldnt like that stuff its for boys" but im just like whatever. thank you for inspiring me! also ur reaction to pulling the shadowless charizard the other day... WE DID IT!

[@s.alam_entertainment]

Awww so cool i used to cillect but my mom said to yhrow away my pokemkn catds

[@winkybums1]

Think it will be worth getting the board game and storing it up for years to come? Or will there just be to man produced to have any value?

[@BrordinMorrisMeow]

That fingerboard looks dope! Also, the sticker (Leonhart) is a Grip - supposed to be placed on the upperside of the board. But I guess you already know that ;) Great video as Always man!

[@pcelove9157]

I love it when I say words in my head and the exact word to word from another person changes up for being in a long fucking distance

That Mewtwo is my deck. Love Psychic types and it comes with Mew, and Espeon. Heck yeah!

[@letsprayandfasttogether9618]

1:12 thats 2020 for you 😱

I needed something like this when I was a kid because when I was in 2nd grade level x cards never made sense to my 8 year old brain

[@chrisbianculli3465]

Oh my goodness. Thank you for this video. My 6 year old nephew has become obsessed with Pokemon cards but doesn't really understand how to play yet. I play Pokemon Go and I'm the only person in the family that can talk Pokemon with him. I was about to buy this on Amazon for $40 but wanted to watch a review of it first, and watching your video directed me to Target's site and they are offering 25% off 1 toy or game in your order right now so I paid HALF of what I was expecting. Thank you for your video and keep up the great content. Signed, A Very Cool Pokemon Uncle.

[@melwo_gg]

This is what got me into pokemon cards 🤣

[@TheArdemonio]

But the card in the box are original o there is a difference between the others?

[@goldentalonpokemon9196]

Dollarama is the Canadian dollarstore. The best pull I got in those packs is a reverse rare. Watching you pull from dollarama was hilarious!

[@fredtheinfredible9646]

Wow! I’m gonna have to convince my parents to let me get this when we go on vacation, because I don’t entirely know how to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

[@Kevin-nb1et]

Is these cards only valid in this board game, or can you use them when playing vs other players?

[@jeffreykershner440]

Can the battle academy cards be used in regular battles? My kids like all the Pokemon shows and other stuff, but we haven't gotten into the tcg yet.

[@rosrulesofsurvival7351]

Eyy hes back again with the awesome content!!.. keep up the awesome work!! And thanks again for helping me recover my depression

[@MrVariant]

0:50 true, no randomization and this is more of a starter for casuals given weak cards outside Cynthia. Wish they showed the Charizard/Mewtwo/Raichu GX, oh 3:05 it's on the box partially. A bit let down the board game wasn't a minigame. But sure if someone wants it as a game mat, wynaut? 5:13 nice coin though no idea why they didn't use a matching pikachu gx card, ah well. 15:33 tech decks 8)

[@ZachTheFish.]

I like how those packs did it like when he had 2 turn over the rare maybe pokemon should sell them but with a rare chance of an ultra-rare but on 5 cards so like half a pack half the chance kinda???
