Pokemon is an Expensive Hobby

[@rivalryyyy]

Thanks for watching guys! As I said in the video the next month is going to be a little chaotic for me but I have a few ideas planned for the next few weeks and then hopefully will have a set up to not only do videos but also to stream! Let me know what games you wanna see!

Pokemon TCG is less expensive than most other card games such as Yu-gi-oh for example. I am still amazed to see how generous Pokemon is when you can buy a meta deck for the prize of a playset of meta cards in yu-gi-oh 😅 And the codes you get in physical products u can scan into PTCGL, honestly that is something every card game should do.

Yugioh should definitely include that for Master Duel - it would be a great addition.

There is a reason why Pokémon is such a big brand and franchise and did that under 20 and 30 years as well. Even 15 years too. I’m almost certain that the Pokémon merchandise can probably out sell Disney and Star Wars in merchandise sells which have existed long before Pokemon was even established in the 90’s. Pokemon was smart on how they grew their brand and business. They have their hands in just about almost everything. It was just the mainline games, the manga and anime came out in 1997, then the spin off games and the tcg in 1998, the merchandise and all of those pokemon centers soon after, the movies soon started with the first movie in 1998 as well I believe, even the vgc started during gen 4 for the mainline games, and then there’s pokemon cafes and pokemon hotels. I believe the only thing Pokemon doesn’t have is amusement parks or at least I think they have tried in the past and it didn’t work out that well. Each part of the Pokémon franchise is a cog is the machine that moves the franchise along and moves it forward. With each Pokémon generation, Pokemon makes a lot of merchandise. Gamefreak makes regional variants and different forms for Pokemon was a brilliant idea since not only can their make merchandise out of it but it mimics what happens in real life with real life animals and whatnot that were also either related in some what or thought to be related but aren’t actually related at all. I think it would be interesting if Pokemon had like a wild life documentary and narrated by someone like they do for real life animals on tv. This is also why remakes are somewhat important because with each remake starting from fire red and leaf green was new designs for older characters like the protagonists for each remake besides maybe bdsp, new remastered music, new characters, new locations, routes, and areas, and among other things that I didn’t mention. It’s happened to every remake except for bdsp that somewhat broke this trend that every remake before it had done in the past. As well as every Pokémon remake being profitable. I like be going to Japan in September with my mom, my aunt, and my little cousin. I’ll be hitting up those pokemon centers among other things.
