Why is Pokémon such a big gamble on the English side. Getting really lame. Early S&V was fun. JP booster boxes which cost less than a ETB has a guarantee pull rate. I just don't get it. This horrible pull rate might be a good thing for those who FOMO. Hopefully, people just stop buying these Prismatic Evolutions ETBs at 3x MSRP from scalpers (including LGSs because yeah they are scalping too).
Honestly the Pokemon company does not care about what anyone thinks. They will continue with poor quality control, batching errors, and low hit rates because they know you will continue to waste your hard earned money on mid product at best. Spend your money how you like, but as someone who has been collecting since the 90s, I am just going to buy the "sun"breon flat out. The other thing people can consider is that vintage cards are selling for decent prices right now so that vintage grail you may be looking for may be in your price range right now! (instead of dropping hundreds or thousands on the new "hype" set). I do appreciate PokeRev showing the true reality of this set, especially after opening "2000" worth of product. Great video my guy and keep up the good work!
Thanks legend! Definitely agree with everything here! I’ve been looking at some other sets rather than putting all my focus on prismatic. I’ll still open some but I’m open to other sets too
Pokemon know there is a supply and demand issue, so the fact they have made the pull rates so low is just pure GREED meaning people will need to buy more and more
Watching PokeRev's latest video ripping all those packs was so scary and depressing to watch - I've already preordered for a lot of money and watching him not even getting a single SIR was heartbreaking and makes me scared to even open my own products when I get them.. I just want the Eeveelutions SIR and I haven't seen anyone pull them from the English set yet. Horrifying.
i ain't trying to imply anything but wait til the official release. don't wanna talk shit but f knows where all these youtubers got their cards early from. rev could've have had bad luck and not hit anything, it happened before in his videos. who knows?
I was really disappointed to see Rev get such horrible pulls with batching issues. I'll be opening a bunch of my stuff regardless of the bad pull rates. I bought mines at MSRP to be opened and I honestly don't have the space to keep all this crap sealed. I was really hoping the pull rates be like it's JP counter part, but Pokémon gotta suck suck suck.
From my experience etbs seem to have weird batching issues. Not just holos but you'll get the same uncommon 4 times in one but 0 in another. After 60+ packs of 151 I only got 1 nidoran male which is a common.
if people are gonna be scared to open it due to low pull rates....its just gonna cause the hits to be massive in price....which will cause people to eventually open them.
West coast got boned on journey together pre orders on pokemon center. im east coast and i tried to wake up my west coast friends. I can imagine their feeling of defeat not waking up early enough because they thought they had a few more hours of sleep.
PRISMATIC EVOLUTIONS IS LIKE "THE RISE OF SKYWALKER" WHILE SURGING SPARKS IS LIKE THE ORIGINAL "STAR💥WARS" !!!! SO THIS ABSOLUTELY.. IT'S PULL RATES SUCK.... IM GOING TO HAVE FUN & GO BACK TO SURGING ⚡️ SPARKS ....
Well a masterball / pokeball is like them good old days tho when a regular holo was insane ! So for those Who been there since the start , the masterball is awesome!
All I wanted from the set was Ceruledge. Honestly I doubt I'll ever get him though. It's just really sad because I remember when sets like Tag Team came out and I was able to get it everywhere. I even was able to pull the now well know Latios and Latias alt art. It's just sad to know I may never get that feeling again of hitting that rare card of a set or a card you really want.
Im probably feeling myself, but if it only took me 2 packs to pull the Latias Ex. I feel like i can do it again. Then again i havent pulled a single Charizard from the 151 set.
At a certain point it makes it's so that a very very very small mumber of people will pull the cards and actually make their money back. If you had to put down $8000 to pull a $2000 card youre definitely in the red even with the other things you pulled
The batching issues feel like they completely forgot to print eeveelution SIRs altogether in the first run. Wait for next wave of products!!

It was hard to watch
wait and buy them if you are scared of losing money

I'm reading there's batching issues. Some people are getting better hit rates and some aren't.
Yeah I touched on that in the video too, pokerev got a really bad batch so I can imagine someone somewhere is getting a great batch

You’re lucky I can’t find surging sparks anywhere either haha
bros keyboard doesn’t have lowercase
@enhidri160 I just felt like it was kind of a big idea..lol

Yeah but also back in the day all sets came out in booster boxes with 23 guaranteed hits those days have LONG gone
Stop buying from the hoarders and wait. Get a life. You don’t need a Pokemon card right now lol. Only way it stops.

That’s so lucky! Love that latias card, good luck with prismatic!
Yeah, that's just pure luck. There's no shot you can pull something like that again, unfortunately.
i think thats good that the pull rates are bad/that will make the rare cards worth even more
