Fucking PREACH. All of gen 5 sets were absolutely trash, gen 5 is the most beloved in community and the TCG side of Pokemon did that generation so dirty. Sun and moon and sword and shield both were heavy hitters and very well received overall. Scarlet and violet seem to be mediocre leaning more towards the positive side of well received but it can definitely do better. Here’s to hoping gen 10 is an absolute smash hit.

@@phillips.collectibles hey Phillip i have a question. For my birthday in November i want to buy a booster box of pokemon cards (its a expensive thing but as it’s my first one ever my parents will probably allow me to get it.) I was just thinking i want a good set that has good chances to pull good cards and i came down to twilight masquerade and temporal forces because they tick my boxes and are under my limit of £100. But i need some help in which set is better..If you’re reading this thanks for your time reading the essay😅

Id take this as a reason to go and buy as many tera cards as possible because if this set pops off, people will undoubtedly go back and look for all the tera cards in the previous sets, its the same thing every time, we all hate the new sets and go back to old and it will most likely be the same thing. But thats just my personal opinion right now.

I think were going to see more new rarity types once Legends ZA comes out and mega evolutions come back.

So far what I've seen of the set doesn't have me too hyped aside from the gen 1 IRs. I didn't know there's more SIRs to be announced so hopefully we can get some really cool Lapras and Cinderace designs but right now I'm not very excited for this set. Especially with the potential dragon, tera eevees, and team rocket sets coming soon after, this unfortunately might not be as popular as those. But from an investment point of view, the sealed product of this could do well just by the fact that in the present I don't expect it to get popular enough to warrant reprints.

Bro pokemon fans aren't buying Lorcana or DBZ cards, we're buying Pokemon cards because we like Pokemon lol. If they're too expensive for you then cut back or save up money elsewhere. If you don't like the art, that's your opinion so just don't buy it. People come and go routinely, Pokemon TCG isn't going anywhere. I've been collecting on and off since 1999. 27+ years in the market and they're still going strong.
