Team worked SUPER hard on putting this video and timeline together! Hope you all enjoy!

[@user-qd2ec9yg2g]

First like and I did really enjoy this video!😅😅😅

[@CristaldoCastillo-qq7yc]

We will(:

[@DrMalware]

dude props your edıtıng guy needs a raıse

[@PJnyc1987]

Awesome video, well done. Crown zenith/vstar is my personal favorite

[@badcali_kid]

Great video idea bro!!

[@KappaClaus]

My mom worked high up in a kiosk store that sold cards in the 90's in Norway and she got a first edition base set box as a sample. None of the other ceos had young kids when Pokemon first came out, so she took it. I vividly remember opening a box with my sister as a 5 year old. Over the years we always got the first new cards. First edition packs as rewards for cleaning our rooms, doing the dishes, etc.

[@rizot0ny1996]

The luck of a champion with richness man. Ik you were happy as hell.

[@JessLuBera]

Kudos to you for recognizing an awesome opportunity to recap the entire TCG when it really hadn't been done in this format by other KZbinrs. As someone who was a kid when Base set hit, I imagine this would be even more interesting/useful for younger people who don't remember the early sets or eras.

[@POCKETMONSTERCLUB]

Great job. This is exactly the type of refresher I need coming back into Pokémon cards. 151 did such a great job with the nostalgia factor.

[@Scattman240]

Gotta say, the editing work that you put into your videos are leagues above what other Pokemon KZbinrs are doing. You definitely deserve more views on these videos 👍🏼.

[@Wargasm509]

What an epic video. And my favorite set is 151. I completely master set this to include every single promo, and even the overseas pokemon together stamped promo’s

[@BiGz0609]

Amazing video man. Explained so well. Really put me on an emotional train of nostalgia. Well done to you and the team.

[@TimRoed]

Love this type of informative videos about the history pokemon!

[@XtraLargerock15]

I went through my old Pokemon card collection that was just loose in a box, and found Shining Magikarp, Shining Tyranitar, and Shining Celebi. I'm not sure if it's worth grading them though, they're likely between lightly and moderately played. Still, it's been fun to try and get back into collecting.

[@keyframeclips]

There’s a big market for PSA 1s, could be worth looking into.

[@GameBreakersCrew]

Thanks for clearing up the Charizard rookie card. Been in many debates about it over the years

[@SlayerBear117]

I really enjoyed this video thank you all for the hard work you guys do 😊

[@anthonynarvaez8184]

I usually don’t like your videos but this is well put together. Good research and production quality, good work!

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

This was such a fun watch, great work fam 👌🏻

[@BroncoTCG]

Great video and definitely super awesome history I didn't know about early Japanese cards.

[@Koolfeather]

Thank you for all your hard work in putting this together! Just a brilliant video!

WOW, this is one of the best pokemon tcg videos I have ever seen. So much effort went into this video. respect !

[@jacksonyon5276]

I really love black and white era with the full art EX cards and the shinies even though the pull rates aren’t good. Also love the platinum era, ex era, and XY era

[@FiissshhhhSticks]

This is a great video!! Definitely highlights how pokemon has grown throughout the years

[@svenmcthias]

Nice video! A lot of info. Good job guys. I didn't start back to collecting until sw&sh but I like the sun&moon era

[@Axton-Blake]

I'm going to be honest, this was such an amazing video. I was so surprised on how much research your team and you must have had to do on all of this. You should definitely have more subscribers on this channel then pokémon Go with this type of content😊

[@willferrigno1]

This was honestly a really well put together video! I think you talked about every single set except for Detective Pikachu and that really early on "set" that I don't remember the name of but it was like Island themed if I'm not mistaken and maybe was only in Japanese?

[@pokene_pokemon]

Man this was incredibly well done

[@NetherDog-sn2xk]

Almost every time one of theese vids come out i watch it then KZbin makes me a playlist of ur vids and ill watch for hours ⌚

Super awesome video. Thanks for putting this together. Great job

[@hilarysees]

Would love to see another video like this about the card game itself! All the tournaments and championships, as well as the exclusive cards that came from it

[@Weezy_McSteezy]

Awesome video! Just a quick thing, alt arts were introduced in Team Up along side the Tag-Team cards. Keep up the great work!

[@trungpham9763]

Thanks 4 the summary of the Pokémon history bro 👌🏻

[@clawonice]

Finally! I’ve been searching for a video like this for years

[@shannonlowery131]

Thanks for this I learned a lot from it. I am a new collector and had never seen or heard of some of theses packs.

[@AsherSchermerhorn]

Personally, I think some of the older cards look cooler than modern day art cards.

[@mysticrips]

100%

[@divinesteal99]

GREAT WORK! I've been subscribed for over 10 years. I'm impressed watching your content as if it was me in my teenage years wow 🙏🏽 Thank you bro

[@knightofwind2929]

After gen 1 and beginning of gen 2 i was done getting cards, this is crazy how they kept making them but it got weireder and weirder. The original cards were so nice and beautiful, not after that

[@SgtByrd93]

I hated Base Set 2 so much as a kid, I had all the cards I collected separate from all my jungle, base set, fossil, team rocket, gym heroes and gym legends cards

[@keyframeclips]

Cool to look through the TCG history, not quite right about Battle Styles being the introduction of alt arts though. There were alternate arts in the tag team sets.

[@hiph0p0p0tamus9]

alt art V cards

[@keyframeclips]

@@hiph0p0p0tamus9That’s not what he said though. Also, yeah V cards started in Sword and Shield so it makes sense V alt arts would start there too.

[@PokePackRipperNYC]

This was awesome!!!! Any set with Ampharos for me is the best!

[@PikaTCG]

Great video, what a trip down memory lane... I remember buying base set packs with my weekly pocket money and trading at school with friends. Wish I had known how valuable they'd become and keep some sealed and treat my vintage cards better!

[@iLoveTaeyeonSNSD]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video!

[@philliplaclede6269]

This is fantastic

[@joshrainey6788]

Great video! Super informative

[@jameswright2663]

Bro, I watch your videos all the time

[@user-up5um3fp4e]

My young self opened a pack back in 2015 or 2016 and I got a primal groundon and it got water damaged so yeah that sucks for me

[@ajithrajaful]

gotta go with pokemon 151 along with legendary collection for the reverse holos

[@ManoWar419]

No mention of the VS (versus series) only released in Japan in 2001. Would live to see you dive into that set.

[@enclavehere.2281]

It is so funny watching this and being like, hey I have that exact card. I started collecting during the Gen 4 days and I have so much nostalgia for those cards.

[@anakinsmith4770]

you forget the fact silver tempest also broke the mould in being the first time a base form got a full art

[@bameva7549]

Nice video! There are so many awesome sets and cards. Personally I’m most fond of the Ruby & Sapphire era and the Sword & Shield era (gallery & alt arts). Diamond & Pearl and Black & White are probably my least favorite era’s. Call of Legends is amazing though.

[@ThatWhichErodes]

I just pulled my old shoebox of pokemon cards out of a closet at my mom's the other weekend. I have a bunch of stuff from 1999, lots of holographics.. it's been a fun and exciting time looking at their values as listed on ebay, making decks of old cards and playing the TCG again. I'm back, baby!

[@BlakkSabbath]

Such a great video! Thanks a lot team Mystic🙌🏼💖

[@RealPokeJefe]

Great video!! Sun and Moon w/Shining legends as my favorite!! 🎉 I do like these types of videos that break up the same old/same old typical videos out today. Great editing! 💯

[@ivansttk]

Nice video! I started collecting after the release of 151. Now I own 80-90% of the IR SIR Alt art haha. Missing the extremely expensive cards like Umbreon

[@darren2879]

Seems like every card is Mystics' favorite card

[@mysticrips]

I do be loving them all

[@willowcairns]

Made me feel old with that opening statement

[@everythingcollectibles]

In 2020, you have to remember, you had reseller’s following the vendors around at each store, which is why you never saw anything after a couple minutes of a restock!

[@juans.r.1354]

Amazing video bro! I collect Pokemon cards since 2000 and it has always been something special for me. This video of yours keeps motivating me to catch 'em all haha greetings from Spain!! 🎉🎉

[@russell4781]

Amazing video really enjoyed it

[@alexmunda8191]

favourite sets definetely all the wizard s sets. too many memories =)). Came back to pokemon just recently with paldean fates and i m enjoying so much! pulled the most insane pull of my life: 2 charizard ex from the same box (quaquaval EX box). it s so fun and love the community around of it

[@CheesLess]

Thanks for this awesome vids Btw love Ur vids

[@mysticrips]

thank you!

[@TsukentoX]

One thing to note is that it was actually Dragons Exalted when the Dragon type was introduced.

[@sowsow6677]

How could you not mention detecive pikachu? That set is super important and iconic as it is still the only set to feature live-action pokemon.

[@alessiogiove3968]

This was just amazing. Congrats 🙌

[@Potatomasherdk]

What a great video, Thank you!

[@michaelashby5519]

Very cool also love deep pocket monster

[@jordanhardy111]

Bruhhh your content is next level!..

[@gregking7215]

I remember back in 01 I pulled a shining tryanitar and kabutop s didn't even know what I had I just call them a 3 star because it had 3 stars as the rarity 😂

[@RolandKoller90]

Haha to go back to those times, it would be awesome.

[@DeekBoy333]

you missed Double Crisis from XY. Small subset that was super fun to collect and focused on team Magma and Aqua

[@chardaskie]

Made my mom buy me a folder of Cards from a garage sale in like 2007 when I was a young boy. I had only played Gen 3 Emerald at that point so most of the Pokemon confused me(Mosely Gen 1&2 Mons) but owning it now it makes me happy even if i never used them

[@DnDJordanL]

7:59 I’m so upset because one of my siblings got a hold of my shining mewtwo over summer visit and just a few years ago I saw this card trashed in my brothers room 🤦‍♂️ 😢

[@darrenpickard6518]

Definitely the base set I grew up with Pokémon from the beginning.

[@claraalahmmar3174]

Im a new subscripe i like u videos so much as a pokemon fan im learning eacht day from you thank u verry much❤

[@terrorT3600]

Great video bro

[@cedricfoust1941]

We just pretending Power Keepers doesnt exist? 🤣

[@cliffvoelker9276]

We have Logan Paul to thank for scalpers.

[@GOTERO92]

Cool rundown

[@italianpc4119]

9:33 thats not true, delta species cards were first introduced in "ex delta species", many sets later

[@yeowtom1788]

Great videos, local chinese PTCG market here are experiencing some most werid card pool/patch i have ever witness in my tcg hobby time, PokemonChina starts publishing PTCG in cn last year and somehow they choose to publish a 'CN special edition' booters with cards right from the sun&moon era( Last year in a card shop I saw some players went nuts finding a rainbow shinny in a newly arrived PTCG pack, and i was soooo confused since I am 100% sure I had saw that exact rainbow shinny Dedenne-GX many years ago😂)... Now the officals had put out 5 versions of major booters in just 10 months, news says they will print another major booster that include Mew VMAX in the first half of 2024, crazy movement. I'm still very new to the PTCG community so the info above might not be 100% correct, but one thing I am sure about is my friend who went to play the chinese version PTCG complained to me that the average life span of a meta deck is only a month or two, and then they are forced to upgrade it with new cards coming to the pool🤣.

[@tugsman5]

I've hated Burning Shadows since I started collecting, not really sure why. I'm KICKING myself for not buying a ridiculous amount of Unbroken Bonds and Unified Minds during quarantine. They were SO POPULAR I thought I'd always be able to get them, and then like a month later they were impossible and WAY PAST my price range online, as they still are. I missed out on Team up by like 6 months and I'm beyond pissed I'll never be able to afford that and have the joy of opening a booster box!

[@raymondkuczewski6499]

i kind like the gx era of pokemon and cool history of pokemon

[@pokegold_hits]

Miss the OG days🥲✔️

[@lchristensen6245]

Very good video, Love all the details! and I love you so much mystic!💙💙💙😊😊😊💖💖💖🔥🍀✨❤️‍🔥😍🤩🥳

[@felixklopper7940]

I really missed Fire Red - Leaf Green. One of the best sets of all time...

[@RolandKoller90]

I was born in 90. I would love to go back when Pokémon hit the US. 98-2002 was the best!

[@marcusteo-anen4880]

1:48 it's the alolen Exeggutor

[@AK-starz648t]

@mysticrips what is your favorite sudowoodo card

[@benjaminklappert5185]

what a good video! thank you!

[@CopingContinuous]

You missed a lot but this was a great introduction overview.

[@TuGapGap]

Thanks for sharing !!!

[@isabelavey]

Anyone notice he forgot about XY DOUBLE CRISIS

[@angelfan2009]

i was so happy when pokemon cards came to the united states. i would always ask my mom if i could buy a pack when i was a kid.

[@drakeb.5270]

Amazing video!

[@user-crazy81]

I would say Evolving Sky all eevelution alt art just love it. That’s it.

[@honey20x42]

Fantastic vid Mystic

[@Dude_Its_Pistachio]

Amazing video my dawg

[@tugsman5]

I've also STILL not pulled the Shiny Charizard from Hidden Fates, Champions Path, OR SHINING FATES!!! I've spent THOUSANDS and literally can't spend more, and my buddy spent like 1/4 of what I did and pulled all of them, 2 of one of them.

[@02danhaz]

How have you made this list ignoring the first Pokemon movie and all of the promo cards that came with it. It was huge!

[@Titanic1223]

Well, deep pocket monster was was talking about the very, very, very dangerous player of destroy cards

[@TheonewhoisP]

Charizard 👇

[@honchopenguin2991]

Favorite set all time either 151 or crown zenith least favorite probably scarlet and violet base

[@thereandbackagain2022]

Is the pull rate still high. I rather have a hard time finding a card to try and keep the value up

[@CDBIII]

Wish they would make separate versions. Collector/player versions who enjoy trading, playing the TCG and the art with a bit of chase which is fine; and people who care about the money aspect (you) could have the cards act as currency of sorts. Each could be uniquely stamped or something. Nothing wrong with caring about the value of the card or anything but people who only get into the TCG for investing purpose directly conflict and ruin it for those who just like it for what it was always l meant to be [Read: A Trading Card game meant to be played and admired for its art and displayed in binders]. Ah well, it will likely balance out a bit better in the next year or so!

[@barrborrah]

amazing video!!

[@Deltax5]

kinda a low blow. I didn't realize how much i spent on these things. really the box trainer packs where like $40 or something can be mistaken for a game to a dumby. The packs where 8 dolor or something, why. After a wile ud spend to much without knowing with packs because how random it was. If i still collected it would be as much as the cost of a car. Probably. It just hasn't stopped. It's a fun game. Used to have the game boy color game.
