I Opened $500 in Real vs Virtual Pokémon Packs

[@EerieMedic]

The pack points seriously hurt my heart lmao

[@simonshura9144]

I could see it coming from a mile away, no offense but he is a normie who never touched lootbox gacha mobile games in his life lol And it shows haha 😂💦💦

[@EerieMedic]

@ I have no idea what lootbox or gacha games are. So I guess I’m a normie too? Yet I still knew what the pack points were for. Don’t be rude for no reason.

[@Jeremy-bt8lo]

He could have gotten a golden charizard, it hurt seeing him buy so many of the easy to get ones

[@gymleaderchaos5580]

he could of got the last gold card with those points :( not waste them on randoms..

[@chrisgreen5362]

Don’t know if people know this but it doesn’t matter what pack u open for the gold cards. u can get charizard in a mewtwo pack for example, it just so happened that mystic got the golds of the pack he opened .

[@EruditeFeline]

Bro spent thousands of dollars before even bothering to learn what the pack points do 😂

[@RussianRebelll]

It killed me to see him waste them on bulbasaur! He could have used those on the crowns.

[@CarterBaker33]

You could have gotten the gold zard😭😭😭😭

[@MrDerp99]

It would’ve een better if you pulled it

[@samiberry8]

I got gold mew2

[@TahiraZelek]

Seriously bro

[@bigfriendlyginger4878]

Made me die inside a little when you turned your 2.5k PP into 7 venasaurs EXs rather than a Gold Charizard or smth

[@ThePlatinumMeta]

Fun fact, if you add Japanese accounts as friends in Pokémon tcg pocket, when they show up in the wonder pick the cards will be in Japanese, and when you pick them they stay as Japanese

[@Gigi-zr6hp]

That's how I collect Korean and Chinese cards too alongside English and Japanese

[@Krosis-i8x]

fun fact: u can actually change the language of your game and then open packs and they will be in the language you have chosen... thats how i get my multiple language cards.... no need to spend wonder pick for them

[@ObscureEntitty]

Yea you can go to setting and there are options to change language in case you wanna pull em from packs instead

[@animalchin5082]

No shot brother threw away an immersive rare worth of pack points

[@simonshura9144]

That sht was pure cinema 😂

[@MrMon-fq3do]

Real packs will always be better than digital packs

[@Plasmixxx]

so true

[@angelwolf2845]

I agree, but at least we don’t need to play. In France a booster cost at least 7€, which is a lot.. so I gave up after some time. So now I get to open boosters without paying. But I do miss the texture of full art cards

[@Buitronthecrazy]

But they cost real money while Pocket Packs only cost 12 real hours.

[@ThomasWilliams-yw6yk]

Plus real looks cooler

[@Altair_9]

Yes but in a month you get to open at least 60 packs on pocket plus more thanks to the missions. But 60 real packs how much they costs? Unfortunately i don’t have all those money. Pocket is more appealing because you don’t have to spend money to complete a set, meanwhile if you want to complete a real set you have to spend a hudreds of dollars so for those who likes to complete a collection and don’t have money pocket is better. I wish i had the money to complete real set

[@Roccobud]

I can never get over the fact he DOESNT SLEEVE HIS CARDS???

[@subedxr]

in essence TCG Pocket is a gacha. You're never guaranteed anything but the appeal of high rarity and special art makes people want to spend money for the chance to get those cards

[@OMIOBR]

Isn't that the same as real life 🤔

[@subedxr]

@ it's not meant to be a buy/sell thing like he was wanting it to be. it's just meant to be a collection game that will eventually let you trade with your friends

[@simonshura9144]

​​@@subedxri agree with the gacha take and yea since we get two packs for free each day there is really no pressure to fomo buy or swipe the creditcard 😂

[@guts7518]

i like pocket more than irl. Price of pokemon cards are out of hand and im a 90s kid.

[@jaredlaughlin3703]

I'm going to say that it might be too early to compare TCG real and TCG Pocket because we're still dealing with a very base part of the game. I'm guessing that as expansions come out for Pocket, it will start being more comparable to the real life. I thought about going for the cards in real life, but as I've seen how hotly competitive it is to get cards and hearing that many cards in Pocket that I like may never appear in real life--and that the Pocket version of battling is more simplified and easy to learn--I'm going to stick with Pocket. I have faith it will improve. SIDE NOTE: I'm shocked that you still don't have full art Mewtwo. I somehow got two of them at the beginning, but I haven't seen them since. Got the Gold Charizard though. Biding my coins and hourglasses for the upcoming expansions in December.

[@WindrunnerBH]

Math aint mathin on those irl cards. Booster Box $240 pop series for 100 each then a $125 japanese pack brother, you spent well over 500 not counting all the single packs. respect

[@brandonstreet2351]

Bro spent his pack point on Charmeleon and 7 Venusaur😭🤯

[@king_pred3453]

Getting so many golds in such a short time is absolutely ridiculous. Also you’re literally a robot the way you spent your pack points brother 😭 please think before you spend them

[@falsaai]

Just so you know, the golden crown cards can appear randomly in all packs; meaning that Mewtwo EX crown can appear in Pikachu’s packs. I got 12 crowns and most of them were random pulls.

[@simonshura9144]

12 crowns us crazy i got 3 atleast as f2p

[@deez5729]

600 cards ​in 0 crown cards f2p 😔@@simonshura9144

[@prestonleblanc]

Dude how long have u been playing??? Ive rerolled 7 accounts and havent pulled a single 3 star or a crown​@simonshura9144

[@lucasfarabaugh4085]

i think the real advantages pocket has over actual TCG is its extremely easy to track a digital collection and it makes understanding the TCG battle type of concept much more accessible to people

[@loserlord]

He thing about TCG pocket is the fact that its free and you still get the thrill of opening packs but don't have to acc spend money on it.

[@loserlord]

There's also the battling aspect which is much easier and more accessible to do in pocket

[@dangerousthoughts.1591]

I am convinced that once you pull a certain rare card, you are more likely to pull duplicates the next time you get a rare. Everyone I’ve seen consistently pulls the same rare cards over and over and that’s been my experience as well.

[@fabianramirez7807]

I’ve played mobile games enough to know as a F2P you’ll eventually get the all the cards/characters/items without spending money. You just have to put the time into it. I have two gold zards, and 1 gold mewtwo. Just got the interactive illustration Pikachu yesterday after trying for two weeks. 183/226 cards trying to get all the cards before the new set comes out December 19th.

[@lovelimus]

honestly you're just really really lucky, I've seen people with 5000+ cards and not one gold card

[@ReadyToRize]

13:45 OOPS!!!

[@din_dimitri]

Tip, at 15:35, when pressing the slider for the dex, click into the magnifying glass and scroll to the bottom, there are 2 more sliders allowing you to see whats fully missing !

[@EveryDayCrap-i7d]

If you move the pack around, after opening,you can see all special cards and shiny. :) nice vid btw

[@maskedspartan7397]

Makes no sense. You opened god knows how many packs in the game but in real life you spend half of the 500 on one booster box. Instead of buying cheaper to open more packs.

[@simonshura9144]

Exactly this guy is full of shiat 😂

[@hectorruiz7987]

Pack point part was absolutely brutal

[@ChrisPresnell]

Hey man first time viewer here. Love that you are just being yourself, love the vibe of the video. Tired of other YTbers being over the top all the time. Glad to see that you got the double gold pikachus. I got double gold mewtwos from charizard and mewtwo packs. This vid is great.

[@Thatguy10294]

Just so u know u can pull any of the gold cards in any pack, the immersive cards can only be found in their respective packs

[@otis_0_1]

I can't put this game down XD. I just grinded out my 1,000 solo battles achievement! Not sure if you knew this, but if you collect all 150 Kanto Pokémon, you get a secret mission that gives you an immersive Mew card! I just got mine! Anyway, just wanted to say I love all your content and seeing all the hard work that goes in to all your channels/business is truly an inspiration. Keep it up man! Rootin' for ya! also, the two gold pika's was insaaaaaaaneeee. nice pulls

[@MeFromBristol]

“Ooo Ditto! Pidgeot!” (a hundred packs later) **Pidgeot appears for the fiftieth time** “Stop!” 😐😂

[@sethstuller8986]

I’ve played and collected both the virtual and physical TCG. I can say confidently say neither is better, they’re just different. Most people get caught up in the idea that you can’t sell the virtual cards but I’d argue most collectors don’t/won’t ever sell the cards they get

[@simonshura9144]

Good point but also I'm sure once trading is live that there will be a demand and market for selling specific cards to another for money and a fodder card 😂 oh yea definitely i can see it already

[@hacismo]

literally can just sell or trade them to any card vendor its not that hard

[@ciksura1904]

it hurts knowing how these rare packs are sought after when my grandpa probably spent well over $4k during my pokemon phase which was like 2007-2013 and i had so many holos, full arts and tag teams and i just gave them away to my friends little brother for free. Team rocket set, base set 2nd edition i had the entire set, most of the tag teams i had it really is a gut wrenching feeling😭

[@T-1-W]

I have an interactive mewtwo if you wanna trade when trading is available 😉. 11:03

how is this guy so irresponsible with his money. the fact that he didn't even research that you could get all the gold cards from every pack and to not know what pack points do after spending $500+ on his account is actually wild.

[@hellogussgussguss9735]

It’s funny how I’m new to the game, like, a couple of days ago, and I got the golden Mewtwo card without spending a single dollar

[@ThaddTheChadd]

I pulled the gold mewtwo in the pikachu pack. I think you can get any gold card in any of the packs

[@charrrizz]

Yes you are right

[@ARHappyLlama]

Yes, unless you get a god pack. God packs will only have the Gold card matching that pack

[@ASKane3337]

This seems like a very flawed test when you pulled the same pack on TCG pocket. Maybe pull another pack since you kept getting mad at the same pulls but did 0 to change that!

[@ZachOsborne-oi4ld]

I just got the game and pulled the gold pikachu on like my 4th pack. On my life

[@JoeSchmoeYo]

Can we appreciate how during the real life pack openings you can hear the instrumental of Jort Storm?

[@MrAndersonAFK]

I'm just hoping they release a set based on TCG pocket like they did for PoGo. Cuz some of these TCG pocket cards are SICK and so much better than most of the S&V sets

[@oscarestrella3482]

That's crazy at 2000 card I had the dex completed with a gold Mewtwo and immersive one

[@platinumspike9578]

If TCG pocket ever has physical cards, I hope they can only be obtained through the Pokemon center stores. Trade 5 or 10 duplicates of the digital cards to get one card irl.

[@justintaylor7578]

I’m on a free to play account minus the free trial and I’ve been playing for 2 weeks and I have 205/226 idk if I’ve been really lucky but seems pretty balanced and honestly seeing people spend so much money just for duplicates makes me feel better as a free to play player

[@BewtwoYTHayden]

I understand batching in the physical cards, I mean I could see how it would happen. But that was a seriously crazy amount of Pidgeot Exs.

Usually recent years loose packs will generally hit nothing cause people open in boxes and when they hit the guaranteed gold card or rare, the other loose packs literally has nothing fantastic inside.

[@AcesPrune]

The video idea is cool. And I enjoied it, as I do with all your content. But... Which has the better value is a weird angle. Because the digital packs have absolutely 0 value. It's a gimmick. And even if they become saleable like some NFT. They will hold no relevance. No one, including The Pokemon Company believe this will rival TCG. This app exists entirely to convince people to buy physical packs. Everything I've just said is further proven by the fact that you don't even need to spend a pennie. You can get 100s of packs on the app for free. This whole app is a Pokemon TCG ad. And that's coming from someone who likes the app and uses it everyday 😅
