@JoeMerrick Correct. The proof of 2 packs better than 1 is by taking the extreme. If you could split each card into its own pack (and have 150 packs per set) you would prefer that because it means you get to choose exactly which card you receive every time. 1 pack is the opposite extreme.

Idea for The Pokémon Company:

I think there is a MASSIVE opportunity to capitalize on the decades of nostalgic equity that fans have with the franchise

The same frenzy that originally propelled Pokémon into mainstream culture lives within millions of adults that yearn for the feeling the original games provided

Every 2-3 years I find myself picking up a Gameboy and running back Pokémon Red/Blue/Crystal/Gold on the original cartridges, beating the Elite Four with just as much joy I had as a child. It’s a cycle that’s been happening for the last 15 years of my life. Admittedly, however, I don’t have as much of a connection with the newer Pokémon — although Annihilape and Baxcalibur have my heart lol

SO, I think the Pokémon company should create a remastered game inspired by the OGs that mirrors the original pixel graphics, combines the best generations of Pokémon, and introduces adaptive NPCs that evolve alongside the player.

Old school vibes powered by modern technology that gives players the ability to connect to the internet for easier trading/battling, downloadable content, etc.

This will do three things

1.) Give older fans a chance to relive their childhood thus awakening a massive, dormant demographic

2.) Give newer, younger fans a taste of what originally made the franchise so special

3.) Bridge the gap for older fans who don’t connect with newer Pokémon in a way that’s familiar to them

If we believe that video game cycles are like a pendulum, the near-future of gaming may birth a desire for more simplified, block-based aesthetics. We already see it happening with games like Minecraft & Roblox. As technology continues to advance at an alarmingly rapid pace, I personally believe the future will lean towards “retro”

With over 30 million copies of Pokemon Red & Blue sold in the 1990s, Pokemon can provide an experience for die-hard fans of all ages in a way no other company can.

Redii was featured in @twistartups ! And @Jason hit it spot on. Recruiting and keeping global talent is getting harder.

[Armand Mignot @amignot]

In a post-AI world, startups especially need to be innovative to compete in the talent market. If you’re running a company into the future, what’s YOUR recruitment edge?
