I like the guarantee pull rates in JP booster boxes. I do kinda wish they did this on the English side. I feel that this is an unpopular opinion, since it seems like people on the English side like the low pull rates, the loosing money chase, and gambling aspect of opening packs. Gets annoying when people say they want harder pull rates, but also want to pull the cards themselves, then complain about bad pull rates.
I don’t buy much pokemon due to pull rates being so random, but I recently got 2 boxes of surging sparks the 1st box was quite uninteresting couple of full arts and the standard ultras then the 2nd box was like an SIR, hyper rare and 1 or 2 full arts then the usuals, my thoughts were that’s pretty cool but for the price it’s very hit or miss which I’m not a fan of.
@@spunky9012 Right I agree Bought 2 etbs From walmart surging sparks. Was going to sell them but one of the plastic ripped. So I opened it and what do you know sir pikachu ex was in there. I was going to sell both boxes too. Its like it was fate but ik I'll never get that lucky again.
Just a point to add, there does not appear to be a guaranteed art / illustration rare. It may be that there are no art / illustration rares and EX cards are ten a penny.
Finally no fear campaigning lmao… thanks for the drip promo, we love having you on there. And to answer your question; Japanese is my go to.. better quality, etc. English is just something I sell/trade/donate to kids that are less fortunate
@ i think it’s a mix of the pull rates in japanese being easier for some cards and the demand is higher for english cards but i’m not 100% certain on this
Is it just me or is this just not the same cracked ice as previous TCG sets? The ones from the past - whether its EX Hidden Legends holos or Plasma Blast / BW Promo holos... those ones are real cracked ice. These are like, a lot more tame?
I wasn’t sure how the new ancient and future SIRs would look but I’m very pleased. I’m with you. I think the roaring moon from this set looks better than the other ancient and future cards. I really do love the raging bolt from temporal and roaring moon from paradox.
Oh wow I love the cracked ice reverse holos! I always thought reverse holos were a little too boring with that oil slick holo pattern, I never did like them but I could collect these I love the sparkle!
@@Kitsumari A lot of us don't care about finishing collections. I just like buying what I can afford. I don't care at all to 100% any set i'm not a rich dude lol.
I understand why you like the Roaring Moon SAR artwork is nice, but me personally I love the Iron Crown SAR idk why but that’s my favorite SAR outside of the Eevee Evolutions, maybe it’s cause I love the Iron Crown from TF and it’s probably a biased opinion idk, but it’s kind of cool how the Iron Crown from TF has a Moon I say it’s a moon but I can see how it’s the sun, I like to envision the sunset is happening and the moon came out early that night lol but if I gotta lie to myself to say it’s a moon then hey who cares lol, but in the Iron Crown SAR it’s now fully night time and the moon is in the background idk it’s pretty cool to me I love it, it’s nice and simple and I’m sure that the texture and holo will make that card look really nice with the navy blue tint on the card but overall I’m excited
Like the pull rates in Japanese. Just started collecting a couple months ago and I think I’m gonna start opening up some Japanese packs to add to my collection. Trying to get at least 1 pokemon center etb but don’t look like I will and I’m not gonna pay what they are going for on the secondary market just gonna have to miss out. No fomo here
Hey PokeNE! I've recently gotten back into collecting Pokémon again thanks to the 151 set. I have a friend that's going to Japan in January, and they offered to get me some stuff from the Pokémon Center there. Do you have any recommendations for things I should get? Exclusive boxes, promos, ETC?
I’m completely new to collecting and want to master this set, mostly by buying singles, though I plan to open a few boxes too. I have a question: Do pull rates affect the value of a card? For example, since Japanese sets guarantee hits compared to English sets, does that influence the market price of singles? Never collected Japanese cards, but I may be more inclined to do so with the guarntee hits per box.
I’m collecting Japanese 151 and I need 5 more cards to complete the set. However I only have 11 master balls… I love to master set but I don’t think I have it in me to collect this set.
Lost Origin was an insane master set experience (if you do an _actual_ master set with literally all cards) (you need around 400 cards and Giratina is not even the most rarest and expensive one). I finished it and never tried to do another master set. Heh...challenge accepted. 😎
Basically u can get 2 ex in one pack but this bundle full art is mmmmm just ok , still can hope get sar eevie in one pack ,one pack double the rate somehow I think .
Hope the English set is not like this. Only getting 2 standard reverse holos in a whole box is wild. Pokemon getting a bit too greedy for my liking. I’ll buy some boxes for investment purposes, but I doubt I’ll be mastersetting this one.
I think rarity is fine, but i dont think pokemon needs to be that exclusive? I would love to see rarities a bit more normallized for all sets released even in English. TPCI wants Pokemon cards to sell. What better way than to give everyone an honest chance at something they want in a set! (i'm not an economist and that might make any sense, but also i dont care how that affects the investor).
Well I like the guaranteed drops and the details on the Japanese sets. I don't like the fact that they don't come with live code cards for the game. The Japanese cards tend to retain less value over time too because there are far more English collectors around the world.
I’m starting to liquidate some of my inventory (the high profit margin stuff for now) in preparation for purchasing other stuff. Not sure where this will go but selling is addicting
It's a terrible decision imo. All of the illustration rares is what drove a majority of the hype in the recent sets. The SIRs are par at best in this set. Glad i didn't buy into the hype before seeing everything
@@AmixLiarkyou should have been tripping to get cases of surging sparks for 579-600 like many of us early prerelease. prismatic cases of etbs were 450. i have two cases and 10 posters ordrered
Nah bad take on card value. lol Umbreon espeon Sylveon are gonna over take roaring moon. And we finally get a good iron valiant art? But worst of all the Sandy shocks is absolutely garbage
I'm mad I actually invested in this set. It's garbage getting technically one pull out of a whole box. I don't count stupid balls as hits and neither the regular exs. It had such great chances to be the best set ever, but they drop the ball P.s- u didn't put the video of the opening in the description. I've been trying to find it to watch the whole video, if you could please put it up 🙏🫂

Japanese cards are better - the texture on the SAR, SIR etc are next level and definitely better than the English ones
nah you can’t read the cards and a ton of art rares are worth little to nothing
@@cameIs i mean that dosent change the fact that the quality of the cards are objectively superior
@ yes but from a collectors standpoint it makes more sense to collect english
@@cameIs hi genuine question here
What makes english modern higher in terms value than japanese counterpart aside from the readable text?
@ i think it’s a mix of the pull rates in japanese being easier for some cards and the demand is higher for english cards but i’m not 100% certain on this
Japanese are guaranteed because it’s technically illegal to gamble in Japan , so hits in each pack means no gamble. It’s wild.
Never thought of it that way
Mmmmmm.
It should be like that here

I am soooo excited to get mine. My 1st Japanese collection. 🎉
Son you'll never finish it lol
Japanese 151 is fun to open. Not a high class so 20 packs per box. Should get cheaper one more time before go to 100 and beyond.
@bbq1040 I haven't opened a Japanese 151 yet. I might go ahead and order a box or 2. Thank you

I hope they do the textures cracked ice master ball cards for English. They don’t have IR cards and I’m ok with that if the reverses are really cool.

Value wise, I think Roaring Moon could be top 10, but unlikely the #2. In terms of artwork arguably the best, though.
I just started collecting again and I really want to get a chance to get PE

Heh...challenge accepted. 😎
Prismatic Pull rates better be similar to crown or else it may be the hardest set to master from the last 5 years easy 😅
I like random pull rates but I wish the SIR rates were a little better than what we've had the past few sets.
Idk if I missed it in the video but where can I go to buy Japanese cards?
Every Japanese card in my last PSA sub got 10s Theyre just made better, cheaper to get, lower risk grading, early access. im a fan
The total (current) card list is at 331 cards >.< Get those Vault Binders ready!
I got a few cases pre ordered. The Raging Bolt looks amazing. What is it like 4 Master Balls in total?
Basically u can get 2 ex in one pack but this bundle full art is mmmmm just ok , still can hope get sar eevie in one pack ,one pack double the rate somehow I think .
Can there be more than one SAR per boosterbox or is it just the one guaranteed and no more? And why is no one asking this question.
possible but very rare
How masterballs are there in this set?
I want both but im not unsealing prismatic etb boxes
.......... oh gawd where were the eeveelutions, send halp lol
all the SARs look so good!
Moar videos! Thanks Brian!
@0:40 yeah not cringy at all lol
Hope the English set is not like this. Only getting 2 standard reverse holos in a whole box is wild. Pokemon getting a bit too greedy for my liking. I’ll buy some boxes for investment purposes, but I doubt I’ll be mastersetting this one.
The master balls are not guaranteed unfortunately
Personally I prefer the English pull rates. Feels more rewarding.
I prefer to have art rares instead of reverse hollows
1:20 is false. There is a masterball in 1 out of 3 boxes.
1 boosterbox doesnt gaurantee you a masterball.
And how many masterballs?
The audio keeps getting cut off every 2 sec
its u not the vid
Fine for me too.
That on u big dawg
Are you selling terrestrial festival and I hope your mental health improves bro

You under estimate the demand driven by people's addiction to gambling.

You said we could buy terrestrial for 60 and I click your link and it's 70 lol
He didn't say his site lol.
@GIC2023 i know, but I still think it's funny lol I was literally gonna buy 3 of them right that second
I’m starting to liquidate some of my inventory (the high profit margin stuff for now) in preparation for purchasing other stuff. Not sure where this will go but selling is addicting
But shipping is a b****
And so are selling fees
Are you retiring???
No Alt Arts is interesting...

Japanese pull rates OP
welcome
I prefer Japanese pull rates. Been skunked too many times with English.
None of us plebs will ever get Prismatic Evolutions at or below MSRP... ☠️☠️☠️...
Lol nah there will be plenty. People tripping over the "huge demand" are obviously very new to the hobby or just building hype for their own benefit.
@MinhTran1 I'm new to this modern arena. Funny that I'm not tripping all over surging sparks right now, though...
got 20 etbs and 40 booster bundles at retail price

@cryptomon86 really?
dang so no guarantee 3 AR like normal JP boxes eh??! interesting
I get much better grades on Japanese than American cards.
Bro I would not want her to flip through cards with fingernails like that. Is she trying to scratch them lol?
