I would like if there was more varied texture to the rarer cards. As of now its just kinda ridges and ripples, it'd be cool to have like fluctuations in texture that vary by subject
So Japanese cards actually have this! The problem is that English cards don’t have the texture map sent over, which leads to TPCI employed artists having to manually recreate the textures based off the Japanese cards and within the limitations of the international print machines.
I used to have this HUGE collection 20+ years ago as a kid. Due to unfortunate circumstances, it all disappeared. Thanks to watching these videos and others, I've just restarted my collection
It’s wild going back to the Sun/Moon and early Sword/Shield era and seeing how most of the chase cards were rainbow variants. Some look cool, but they always gave off a lazy vibe… like when you open a blind box figure and get a “rare” gold version that’s devoid of any detail not already present in the mold. I’d prefer the full art trainer with a proper background than just rainbow on rainbow.
@@StarrNOM right? I was never really a fan of those, especially the rainbows because I wanna see the actual colors and artwork. The rainbow I felt like took away from that
I think it’s good that the promo is packed with the dividers. I got paldean fates etb and the promo somehow got all bent so hopefully the dividers can prevent that from happening
I’m loving this set! Hit rates are a lot better compared to TWM and TEF, and I really like the Terapogos along with rainbow border cards. I managed to pull the Lacey at a prerelease on Sunday and the set just seems so much more fun to open compared to more recent sets.
I like the set up of the new PC etb’s. They are using a tray vs the cardboard insert. I feel like the tray is more functional and keeps everything in place better. Hopefully they integrate the trays into the regular etb’s soon.
I think it’s better the promo card being in the same sleeve as the dividers because the deviders give support to the card which should keep it in better condition during shipping. Especially with how much mail delivery companies kick parcels around.
The new sir cards with the rainbow border look really nice. The energys look nice too. Also not a fan of them putting the promo and the dividers together
Same I feel like the promo has a bigger chance of being damaged with the dividers. 2:41 I heard something about the purpose in that is to make sure it's not bent like usual. 2:46 But like he said, they don't even put it in a sleeve 3:38
THEY CHANGED THE SLEEVES If I remember correctly, the previous ETBS had opaque/cloudy sleeves, making it a little bit difficult to see the art, but now they're completely transparent!
I noticed that too. I have issues with some of the sleeves being too tight as well. I would use them more often if they had a looser fit but making them completely clear on the front is a good start.
The artwork on Elite Trainer Boxes is consistently breathtaking! Each design is a visual masterpiece that perfectly captures the essence of the set, showcasing incredible details and vibrant illustrations. It’s always exciting to see what creative themes and stunning visuals the next ETB will bring.
I need that bulbasaur!! I love those illustration rares Edit: those energies are also so fire! The sleeves are also bqck to the old etb type, without the opaque part!
oh yeah you right, the promo card i like to top load 1 still in sleeve and 1 opened in a penny sleeve. But now with them packed in with the spacers that will not work out...
I love the noctowl promo in this etb. This whole set has been great, love the art for just about every card. I did a pre release on Thursday, 9/5, one of the rounds I let my opponent pick the booster pack we got for thst round... he pulled the SIR Terapagos. I was SO jealous!
That second etb was insane! I just picked one up and pulled the milcery ir, the crystal ace spec, and the full art hydrapple!(not the sir but still great)
Really like how they are keeping the way the sleeves are more fitted to the cards, and now making them clear instead of opaque.
The opaque ones are useless.
Love this set
Definitely. Couldn't see the details of the card with the opaque plastic
do you mean gloss sleeves instead of matte sleeves?
I'm kind of new to pokemon and the first pack I brought was stellar crown and i got Squirtle in the first try.
i got a golden secret rare on my first pack
I got the IR Squirtle on my first pack too 😂🔥
I got the hydrapple EX (illustration rare) and sparkling crystal in my first pack
i dont got luck 🥲

The box designs are just getting better and better!! That Zeraora IR is peak awesomeness!!!

I like the player's guides, they're so helpful when opening the new sets

the art on all of the cards even the commons are my favorite out of all the scarlet and violet sets, just beautiful!
That rainbow art is really cool I’m glad they added depth instead of strait rainbow.
Man I haven't opened a pack of Pokemon cards in like 20 years and now I'm on my way to the strore to buy a bunch after this video. Passion reignited!
The art rares alone are what make the scarlet and violet era possibly my fav era
They are why I started collecting again. Some of the illustrations on the full art cards are insane

I love etb’s because you get the booklet that shows all the cards in the set!
@12:00 that card looks so good 😊
The new non milky sleeves are so good, that was always my biggest problem with them
No Charzard? 😮
Facts every series seemed like the protectors where foggy glad these look crisp and clean
Etb gives you the sleeves which are quite colourful for some sets
The improvements get better and better! Sleeves look amazing 3:11
Id love to see behind the scenes. Like what you do with the cards and trash after the "opening".
Honestly same, I wonder if he throws them off to the side and cleans it up after opening it all or if there's a trash by him.
The promo card is definitely more protected this way, there's little to no risk of it getting bent. But it does make it hard to keep it sealed... 😅🤷♀
@4:09 What is the purpose of these blue cards?
Dividers
I think it’s good that the promo is packed with the dividers. I got paldean fates etb and the promo somehow got all bent so hopefully the dividers can prevent that from happening

Love the blue etb color scheme and rainbow edges on some cards
Orthworm is your mr mime for this set.
Your vids got me back into collecting and playing pokemon! Thanks!
Not long until the set is released in the UK!
The same thing on the last video😂
Us: How many new sets are we going to have in a year?
Pokémon: YES
Yeah that feels accurate 😂
Same as always man
Its always been the same. Its never been any different..
I think because Shrouded Fable etbs came so late it really does have a sense of being back to back
I think it’s better the promo card being in the same sleeve as the dividers because the deviders give support to the card which should keep it in better condition during shipping. Especially with how much mail delivery companies kick parcels around.
The new sir cards with the rainbow border look really nice. The energys look nice too. Also not a fan of them putting the promo and the dividers together

THEY CHANGED THE SLEEVES

About time, the other ones were pretty awful

I honestly really love how they made the terastlized terapagos cards look ❤
The artwork is stunning
TY!🎉
I like that the sleeves aren't that weird matte material that both feels awful and makes it so you can't see the foil as well... this change is good.
I love the Noctowl card! great artwork
The best new card in my opinion is the Hydrapple.
Great set! Thanks for opening!
Love the art on this set!

These are the prettiest arts I think they've come out with so far, even the regular ones are super cool!
I agree with Rev that the Noctowl promo is the best looking Noctowl card ever!!!!
The rainbow cards are awesome! great set
I can't imagine how fun it would be to open all these!!!
I think the print quality improved quite a bit on both the texture and colour of the special cards
I love the artworks on these cards
And its so exciting to see some old cards again😊
Honestly the sleeves are alway my favorite
The last ETB I opened was 151, thanks for a chance at opening some thing else!
