SURGING SPARKS SET PREVIEW & The FUTURE of Pokémon!

[@CollectorReddo]

Personally loving what I'm seeing from SSP so far! It's diversified but just has banger after banger. Pika, The Eon Duo, the Lake Trio, Hydreigon, Milotic, Jasmine, it's just full of chases from multiple Gens and I probably only named half of them. The Shinji ETB Promo looks incredible, the 3pk Blister (also one of my favourite products) Promo's look great and there's still a ton of cool commons, uncommons etc. too.. Looking strong for sure 🔥🔥

[@MimikBrew]

1 Million percent agree with everything you just said 💪

[@whoopsiiee7876]

Great Video! I loved Pokémon growing up but stopped collecting a long time ago. I've been wanting to start back up for years now and just recently started collecting with my girlfriend again about three months ago. We are easily thousands of dollars back in 🤣🤣 and have a great collection going! We are even buying nostalgic things off eBay like the old burger king toys and gold card sets from back in the day! I even have convinced a few of the homies to really get back into it as well, and we are all having so much fun.

[@MimikBrew]

Funny how it spreads like that. I can’t even imagine how much money would be spent if I dated someone that also loved Pokemon 😂

[@cooldaddyfunk]

Same! But going on a lil over a year for me now! Started playing the TCG again w my best friend we played 30 years ago together too!! We had ZARDS back then!! 😂

[@cooldaddyfunk]

​​@@MimikBrew😂😂😂holy SHIT brew you ain't joking I thought EXACTLY the same thing.

[@MimikBrew]

@@cooldaddyfunk I had 1sd Ed Zard back then 😔 Only card I didn’t play with. That sounds fun and expensive 💪

[@katielowen]

Def agree about a lot of vibes with this set! It’s like a better Stellar Crown combined with Twilight Masquerade for sure💪

[@MimikBrew]

@@katielowen Woah that’s actually a really accurate way of looking at it 💪

[@Scouting4hardtails]

The same people hating on the set and pikachu in particular will be the same people saying the pikachu has always been there number 1 chase when the card is over £300 raw ⚡🐭🤣

[@MimikBrew]

That’s how it goes 😂

[@OhBenE2]

It’s a great time to be a collector.

[@drew8235]

If they continue to refocus the game on older eras, specifically Gen 1-3, and get the game more in line with the 2005-7ish era, they could literally just print money. I personally would be heavily invested in the game if they get it to that point.

[@MimikBrew]

They kinda already do just print money tbh 💪

[@nevercold808]

This was a really good preview vid! The side chatter about the other cards and set was great, too. I don't know what's going on with me lately. I still collect and watch content but I'm feeling a little bit of burnout. Maybe it's everything that happened in my life the past couple months or if it's because it gets harder every set to keep up financially. I'm hype for this set but not as hype as I have been for sets in the past. There's a lot of great cards in this set so it isn't the set itself... I dunno. Hopefully it's just a phase, haha. Sorry about the rant. Really well done vid, Brew Bro.

[@MimikBrew]

@@nevercold808 I don’t think it’s that unusual to gain and or lose interest. I’ve gone through almost seasonal feelings about lots of aspects of card collecting. I even change often how and what I do with cards. It’s normal 💪

[@nevercold808]

​@@MimikBrewReading that was reassuring. I really like this hobby and interacting with PokéTubers. Ya, I hope it's just a phase. Mahalo, bro. For reals.

I pre-ordered surging Sparks ETB from Walmart and one from the Pokémon center. This will be my first pre-order hoping it arrives a little before release date.

[@MimikBrew]

It’ll arrive like a day early 😂 Still that matters!

[@KREWCITYEMPIER]

@@MimikBrew absolutely..time is money as they say lol 😂

[@HatersWantedTM]

Thanks!💯. Great Video.

[@MattDennard]

Twilight got the people into scarlet violet with grininja showing great value in a chase card now it has managed to get a new set highest pre orders in scarlet violet surging sparks is being brought every were there even saying will make the box set price to go high usually can get between 79-90pound but cheapest I can find this is 96 but others can get mainly around 79-90 first set pre ordering a case and I’m gettting a case of the pc etbs aswell will do well in time

[@MimikBrew]

PC ETBs is feeling like automatic mega gains at this point

[@MattDennard]

@@MimikBrew I know new to sealed collections and I was buying only boosterboxes as there aparently king hopefully they are in long run but through what I’m seing is the pc etb do so well and it will be the first set I get it all as soon as it comes out never had to with any other scarlet violet apart from 151 is verry rare to see at RRP in the uk it’s doubles I see 23 pound for 6 packs going for 50 so watch it sell out on Pokémon centre up for double on all Facebook sites and the Costco hunters I’m like fair play please leave me sun hope this little re print hits uk for more then 3 hours lol

[@LordWiseWolf]

I'm pretty excited for the next year of the TCG leading up to the 30th anniversary. Oh that feels weird to say cause I remember the launch... With trainer Pokémon, Team Rocket, and Eeveelutions, could almost do a year of nostalgia. I'm also super curious what the next era of Pokémon will be called. If they will do a legends era or if they will wait for what the next mainline game. Cause ZA got pushed, I would think the next mainline would be pushed too.

[@MimikBrew]

It’s going to be very interesting just sitting back and watching everything unfold 💪

[@Nanp90]

6:00 no they don’t go together, 1st the Mesprit is by Hyogonosuke while the Latios/latías cards are by Okacheke and 2nd you can see the Sun in the latios art but there’s also a Sun in the Mesprit which would make no sense. Yes a bit a mountain range kinda looks like it connects but the rest of the art doesn’t

[@rosettaaraara6633]

Finally a video where logic is used better for explaining why TM is doing great where as 90% of the other channels legit only “Greninja and Eevee” and ignoring the most popular characters introduced in the SV DLC as chases. When ever i heard ppl say its just those 2 two as chases as whole it sounds ignorant lol

[@pez6905]

Twilight masquerade is 2nd best set of S&V after 151. Only 2 sets I've gone for

[@MimikBrew]

The Kieran SIR is probably my favorite Trainer card ever 😂

[@cooldaddyfunk]

Brew, i pulled that damn 2$ fish AR out of ALL 3 dragona boxes I ripped, but luckily I pulled Bravery, eggsecute, klobopus and wait for it!!! .... LISIA full art!!!! (Made it all worth it, best trainer card of SV hands down) Yes i know its not the SAR, but it still is worth more rhan i paid for the entire box, and its just drop dead gorgeous and perfect. Me n my brew couldnt BELIEVE I pulled it! Love ripping a few boxes of every Japanese set when they drop. 👊😎

[@MimikBrew]

Dang that’s legit though out only 3 boxes 💪

[@CasperTheFriendlyGhost777]

Think it’s a good time to invest in 25th anniversary stuff?

[@MimikBrew]

It’s been a good time to invest in that set for a whole year now. All singles prices are about as low as we’ll probably ever see them. So no real downside at least. Upside? Probably not a lot there either imo but the cards do look great

[@CasperTheFriendlyGhost777]

[@RektAtHeart]

Great video 🔥

[@aikwdl_7542]

I bought two cases, wish me luck

[@PokemonFinanceGuy]

Lile your point alot. I think though that there was no PE reprint. I think Pokemon consolidated all their products missed in warehouses or in large retail stores that couldnt sell them and brought them back to distro and sold them there. Probably will get a reprint now. Im only thinkijg this from some videos i have watched like Danny Phantump.

[@MimikBrew]

And They will never tell us a thing.. 🤫

[@LudwigPig]

151 SiR charizard is the worst zard in long time. The full art zard from 151 is way batter.

[@MimikBrew]

Yeah I do love the Full art as well 💪

Then I accomplished my mission 🫡

[@zerokool-2058]

Also give Pikachu a numbered cards.. That'll be cool

[@MimikBrew]

Pokémon will never do serialized cards. Trust me. It’s actually a sign of desperation imo. 😂 Magic was in the dumps, so they made a 1 of 1. Without serialized cards, sports cards would be in major trouble. Pokémon doesn’t need to do that. And that’s a really good thing 💪

[@zerokool-2058]

@@MimikBrew Don’t have to be 1/1 but in terms of Pikachu. Like why aren’t Pikachu cards as huge as Charizard, Lugia, Rayquaza, And cards like that. There’s big Pikachu cards but you get what I mean.

You want pikachu to go up like crazy in price. Give it a battle scene full art. But dont add so much stuff on the cards and make the cad to be good in TCG..

I think surging is definitely overhyped. I like stellar crown just as much.

Surging sparks is a solid set. But definitely not worth all the hype it has gotten. I like 3-4 cards in the set. Solid set. There’s a ton of copium from people that have dumped a bit too much money into it. That’s just my thoughts on it.
