This channel needs more love. I'm a typical 30-something-year-old player. Loved the game when I was at school 25 years ago (I couldn't have been a better age for when Pokemon hit the UK) but never played it. Nobody at school did. You just traded cards. Soon as I hit my teens I lost all interest and my love for it only came back during Covid; I found myself watching a ton of booster box openings - new and old cards - and then last year I finally sat down with someone and learned how to play and have been collecting/playing ever since. I'm definitely an amateur player and probably always will be. My favourite set to collect has been Paradox Rift; it's so under-appreciated. The artwork is amazing and there are so many ARs and SARs. People just forget about it because it came out right after 151 and it just got lost in that hype.
I agree I think paradox is an amazing set. TBH all of SV has been seriously underrated until recently and I think people are starting to finally come around. Welcome back to the game my friend!
@@chrispytcg thanks man. I agree; there's so much in SV to love. I think they massively upped their game with the artwork and so much of it is flying under the radar. I''m still a way off mastering Paradox Rift but even flicking through the secret rare section of my binder now is amazing, despite missing loads. Might be controversial but I really don't rate the 'full art' style from Sword and Shield. Obviously there are some amazing alternative arts in that era but the full arts are just... meh and look a bit too computer-generated. Crazy to think how Covid reawakened Pokemon for so many people. I remember just sitting at home with nothing to do and watching tonnes of Leonhart videos and I think what sealed it for me was when he pulled the Reshiram and Charizard tag team card in the library. From that moment on I was hooked into the cards again, and I'm so grateful that someone sat me down and taught me how to play because I've now been able to teach my wife and friends how to play and we've become a little Pokemon community, collecting and playing together. And this has spread to Lorcana and Yugioh as well. Honestly feel like I'm 10 years old again, it's brilliant.
I'm from the UK and you usually got bullied for liking somthing aimed at children when I was at high school (kinda like wrestling) but now at 31 with 3 kids I've got my passion back and have been collecting since Hidden Fates with my kids. Plus I like wrestling and so do my kids 😂
The Pullrates really have been terrible so far. I hardly open boosters now because I don’t see the appeal in buying a booster box for 120€ if I never pull anything good from it. They might’ve increased the number of hits but if it’s only cheap EX cards it’s just gambling and a loss of money. I do open like a blister or an ETB if I like the set but I’m sticking to singles now for the rest.
tbh yeah, I wanna collect trainers but because the art is cool and I love pokemon characters. I hate all the especulation and I hate that people are glad that pokemon rates are bad cuz it makes the chase "better", such as this guy :/
@@marcoormeno1069 The only people that love bad pullrates are investors or gambling addicts. I’m sorry but it’s true. I don’t wanna step on anyone’s toes but our hobby has an insane gambling and shopping addiction problem. People buy and buy and buy. As I said I love opening packs myself too but I also get hyped if I pull a fancy 5c Kanda card as he’s my favourite illustrator and I collect his cards. But there’s a point where you have to realise you have a serious problem.
Hey Chris, been watching your channel for some time now, really enjoying it! I've gotta say there are some really nice artworks in this set like the bulbasaur/squirtle illustration rares and some of the SIRs.
I am a collector and my husband is a player but likes collecting along with me! My favorite card so far is the Terapagos SIR and that’ll definitely be my chase card!
Mainly a collector here (well getting back into it) and i'm really looking forward to getting hold of the Lapras cards as well as the Meditite and Crabominable IR's
Nice! I was really hoping for a lapras SIR in the set but maybe we will get it in the special set in January or in the premium collection box in November
I play the game, but only on the Pokemon TCG Live app. It's super nice to build and try out decks (and adjust them when needed). I used to have a bigger physical collection but gave them to my friend's kid as I wasn't really playing anymore at the time. Now i got back into it. I really must say, that Rotom Fan, Bouffalant, Noctowl, and the Area Zero Underdepth could really work well together... gotta try it out when it comes out on Pokemon TCG Live. I am not hundred percent sure what kind of cards are in this set, but I really like the Fullart Supporter cards (like Lacey)!
Yeah, it’s wild. How many good cards there are for the game but then also a lot of beautiful cards to appeal to the collectors as well. Well, I think this site will do very good long-term. The only thing that I think will make it take a little bit longer to takeoff as a set is the fact that it is smaller.
Seems like each set the Art Rares get a little better and the pull rates get a little worse. Love seeing the lesser loved/played mons getting nice cards. 🍌
I'm most exited for terapagos ex because I want to create a deck with it. I'm a collector and a player. I only played PTCGO and now PTCGL. I registered for my first TCG regional and I'm hyped.
@@toshiyukiakagawa1350 our site when we put product up before our big live stream next week. But there’s a ton of good websites out there. I highly recommend Pokémon Colosseum and safari zone if you don’t use ours
Thanks for the video and chance to win! I'm most excited for the illustration Bulbasaur. He's so peaceful with the Pidgey resting next to him! The Squirtle, Dauchsbun ex are really cute too, though! The Meditite and rainbow borders are also really neat... there are just some cool cards in this set!
@chrispytcg do you think this set is worth buying packs for? I'm a relatively new collector and have only bought singles so far. Do you have any tips? I'd appreciate it!
Hey chris! I am a player, I've had a really great year as a competitior, I got top 8 at the indy regional and day 2 at the world championships. I love the openings!
Day to world is super awesome congratulations on that was really hoping to make it there this year but hopefully I will make it to California next year for sure
I don't collect or play. I just like the art and I enjoy your videos Chris. I know as a player it can be frustrating when the version of a card you want is really rare and expensive, but you need that aspect of sets for them to maintain health long term. If sets don't retain any value it ends up hurting local game stores more than anyone usually. I know that a lot of stores have had to dump some Magic sets below cost and taken big hits because there were no chase cards to keep the entire product line from crashing.
Yeah, it’s wild. How rare that actually happens with Pokémon but happens so consistently with Magic gathering. That is definitely one thing. I don’t miss about Magic. But I will admit I do miss playing from time to time.
@@chrispytcg Yeah I just buy the occasional commander precon now and my friends and I get together and everyone just uses a precon. It's too expensive to try to keep up with all the releases and the prices getting higher.
Howmany cards does the stellar crown collection have? I use binders that can hokd 480 card, does the stellar crown fit in the same binder as shrouded fable?
Honestly, there is no correct point to start your collecting journey start where there are cards that you really enjoy and I know it’s probably something that you hear from a lot of people but definitely collect what you like and what you enjoy that makes the Hobby the most fulfilling thing for you
Collector. Love Stellar Crown. Some very nice artworks in this set and I can’t wait to get my hands on that Bulbasaur IR. I think the Bulba is my favorite!
im honestly excited for any of the IRs, but that bulbasaur is beautiful Edit: completely forgot about the turtonator art rare, i NEED that lol Edit 2: I collect primarily but i like the online tcg!
I LOVE Gulpin he is my favorite pokemon bye far and he has no good cards for reference his best card is the radiant collection one and he finnnallllly got a amazing illustration rare and i am going to try sooo hard to pull it
Yes, I was very surprised with the rainbow borders in person for English compared to Japanese. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you finally see one, but it’s definitely only the full arts that seem to be the issue. And it’s not necessarily an issue but a preference.
Just started the hobby with my 7 year old son and plan on being abit of both. This will be our first new set to collect together. Tried chasing some 151 but unfortunately we late to that and no stock in South Africa. Great video thanks!
Really hoping we see a reprint or giant restock of 151 during the holidays. And happy to hear you and your son getting into the game and really hope you guys enjoy the journey both collecting and playing. 🙏
Hey Man, Loved the video! I love the Kofu full art because i always liked him since the release of the game but he never got a good card but now he got a very very good one. Keep up the content!
What’s your favorite art rare in Stellar Crown!?🎉
Im collecting all art rare / illustration rares from S&V so just excited to get all these put into the binder, great vid man
Rainbow full arts 🌈
Hydrapple ex!
Raboot
this set has alot of cool cards
Squirtle IR is hands down the nicest in its rarity
1:25 THATS HIM 👁️👁️🗨️‼️
Can’t wait for a special art rockets mewtwo next year. Fingers crossed
That squirtle and the full art Lapras are definitely my main chases.
Mostly a collector but learning to play the TCG
This channel needs more love.

How can you test pull rates with one booster box
The Pullrates really have been terrible so far. I hardly open boosters now because I don’t see the appeal in buying a booster box for 120€ if I never pull anything good from it. They might’ve increased the number of hits but if it’s only cheap EX cards it’s just gambling and a loss of money.

i'm pretty excited for the squirtle and bulba art cards to go with angry charmander.
151 starters are my chase, somehow hit two SARs out of my two build and battles out of FullMetalEnergy's stream was crazy
Nice opening this was my first video watching of your channel! Glad I found you! I really want to pull that bulbasaur and squirtle cards!
Thank you for the kind words
🙏
@@chrispytcg of course
Can't wait to check out this set! I hope I also pull this amazing Medicham EX its so cool. 💪
Mine is 100% the Zeraora IR! Need that! Great vid man! Cool to see an early sneaky peak!
Hey Chris, been watching your channel for some time now, really enjoying it! I've gotta say there are some really nice artworks in this set like the bulbasaur/squirtle illustration rares and some of the SIRs.
Thank you so much for the constant support and glad that you enjoyed the video. Those are definitely my favorite cards as well from the set.
Of course it is squirtle!
I am a collector and my husband is a player but likes collecting along with me! My favorite card so far is the Terapagos SIR and that’ll definitely be my chase card!
So many nice cards, my favorite might be the Raboot playing in the snow.
Those rainbow boarders✨️✨️Chris Py love that lappy is sweet
Im going to be looking for the Galvantula full art for starters
4:27 that foodie is my fave card on the set! Eating and sleeping, best way to pass time!🎉
Indeed foodie for life!
Mainly a collector here (well getting back into it) and i'm really looking forward to getting hold of the Lapras cards as well as the Meditite and Crabominable IR's
Nice! I was really hoping for a lapras SIR in the set but maybe we will get it in the special set in January or in the premium collection box in November
That’s tough, I love them all. Would love the bulbasaur and squirtle.
The Raboot, hands down. It’s such a stunning card.
The snowy backdrop is awesome
Actually excited about this set! I love the rainbow touch on these cards and the Zeraora is special 🔥

LETS GO! cant wait to open this set wants that bulba
I love the art of the Zeraora! I think that one is my favorite AR as of now.
I’m looking for that glass trumpet for the TCG fs
Card im most excited for is the good ol' Terapagos! Its so cute. Great video btw! Keep up the good work.
Squirtle IR hands down is my favorite art rare in Stellar Crown
The card I'm most excited for from Stellar Crown is Bulbasaur Illustration Rare.
Seems like each set the Art Rares get a little better and the pull rates get a little worse. Love seeing the lesser loved/played mons getting nice cards. 🍌

I love all the lapras cards in this set, they're so cute.
I'm looking for the bulbsaur IR and the lapras ex 😊
Love these!!! Would love the Illustration Bulbasaur Rare 🎉
The Squirtle IR is a must have! What a beauty!
Best IR for me is the Zeroara hands down
Thanks for the video and chance to win! I'm most excited for the illustration Bulbasaur. He's so peaceful with the Pidgey resting next to him! The Squirtle, Dauchsbun ex are really cute too, though! The Meditite and rainbow borders are also really neat... there are just some cool cards in this set!
Yeah, I agree every new set that is come out so far this year there are just so many cards that I want and they just keep getting better and better
@chrispytcg do you think this set is worth buying packs for? I'm a relatively new collector and have only bought singles so far. Do you have any tips? I'd appreciate it!
Collector- keen on the bulbasaur and squirtle only 😊❤ the rainbow borders are a cool new feature! 🌈
The art is absolutely gorgeous. First pre-order, and I can see that It's definitely worth it.
Pretty sure my favorite Card is the Gulpin. Gotta love a cake-eating slime
Cakeeeeee🤤🤤
most excited about the bulbasaur and squirtle illustration rares!! preordered a booster box for the first time just to try and pull them!
Hey! I am a new subscriber! I collected when I was younger and I recently started again. I want the Bulb FA and the Squirtle FA
Thanks for subbing! And welcome to the family
I said a big thing on the price of the greninja besides the obvious is one energy 170 damage is insanely strong for people who do run it
Collection wise: Squirtle IR
Deck wise: Hydrapple
YYoooooo!! Super hype for the Stellar Crown drop and honestly any of the stellar ones!!
Super excited for this set. The new Stellar Tera cards look awesome!

I really want to pull the Terapagos SIR . I'm in love with the art
Best Card in the set is the Lapras SR! Need one indeed
For me its Galvantula, looks rly fun to play and also nice arts
Art rare choice would be that Bulbasaur and we are collectors for now, learning to play the game will take some significant effort 😅
Squirtle and bulbasaur are so cute!
im looking forward to the bulbasaur and squirtle IRs!
I just started collecting and really want that cinderace and bulbasur

Thanks for the awesome video! I love the cards with the rainbow borders
Bulbasaur IR is gorgeous 🤩
Howmany cards does the stellar crown collection have? I use binders that can hokd 480 card, does the stellar crown fit in the same binder as shrouded fable?
Oh yea deff it’s a much smaller set than most.
I'm just a collector and haven't learned how to play the game.......yet.
Any rainbow border will be awesome. Squirtle ir is on the wishlist.
I am starting into the collector world and I do not know if starting with this is good. However I can not stop myself since the art is so good.

Would have to be the bulba and squirtal ones for me
This is awesome and I can't wait for this set to release this week!!!!
sorry i haven't been on the streams in a while. School... Best art is that hydrapple for sure!
terapagos and the bulbasaur and squirtle and I guess noctowl
The hyradrapple ex SIR is gonna look really good next to the applin and dipplin IR’s from TM in my binder so that’s my top pick.
The number one card I want out of this set is the full art lapras that card is so beautiful and the deck looks fire 🔥 😅
I’m looping intro the Terapagos SIR and that Squirtle. So hype for this set, hope I win
I need to get this set... I want the Blastoise and Venasaur!
Just started the hobby with my 7 year old son and plan on being abit of both. This will be our first new set to collect together. Tried chasing some 151 but unfortunately we late to that and no stock in South Africa.
Great video thanks!

Hydrapple SIR will be my chase for this set 🍎
I am most excited for Galvantula EX!! I play the online tcg and am a beginner collector 😊

I like the Terapagos rainbow art
My chase is in the set consists of Dachsbun (all of them), Squirtle ar, and Hydrapple SAR :)
Need me those Squirtle and Bulbasaur cards 💧🍃
