@HaleyTCG ...nice lucky pull. The deck that was unstoppable & everyone played at this time was Queendom with Nidoqueen & Pidgeot, a similar but more og version of the recent Charizard/Pidgeot top decks from 2 years ago. Lots of strats in PTCG get reused over format time cycles.
@HaleyTCG It was fun for sure but there were not that many players/collectors in the wild. Worlds had like only 500 attendees around this time. UnseenForces released the same week as Worlds '05. I still have my Bayleef from doing that prerelease. The Raikou wasn't competitive but was a...

@PhillyBeatzU Small rule of thumb to add for those looking for good primary/secondary sources:
Anything involving trading cards post 2020 Covid hype is too new to be reliable for information. One needs to source info from lifetime experts, confirmed provenance, & insiders. *NOT influencers*
@PhillyBeatzU Just for perspective: just because the people involved in the video don't know about these cards doesn't mean no one else does. These vintage cards have been well documented, catalogued, and sourced for over 20 years. You just have to know how to research or be in the know.
Interesting privileged larper perspectives on these vintage cards as the newbs involved seem to have just discovered CoroCoros and Japanese newstand literature for that matter. So many errors from their poor research & lack of insight that I stopped counting. 🤦🤷 #pokemon

Go watch it and learn about the early history of Pokemon TCG!

Interesting controversy in Pokemon Go:
The game has been out for ten years and is celebrating its tenth anniversary. To celebrate, they had a lavish event in Times Square last night, where the game took over all the screens and participants could battle the legendary Pokemon Mewtwo in the game. This echoed a cinematic trailer released with the game’s launch in 2016 that had never previously been possible in the actual game.
BUT, the event was restricted to a group of 2000 streamers, “community ambassadors” and invited guests who were given tickets that activated the event in their game. If you showed up to Times Square without an invitation, there was nothing there.
The Mewtwo the special influencers got had perfect stats and a special background that nobody else can get. This weekend, Mega Mewtwo is releasing worldwide, and Niantic/Scopely, the publisher of the game, expected the millions of players to watch a livestream where a bunch of Twitch streamers attended a spectacular party everyone else was not invited to and were gifted powerful in-game characters, and then they expect all those players to pay money this weekend to buy raid passes to hunt for a perfect Mewtwo.
The community is furious. If Niantic/Scopely had expected this to be received positively, they radically miscalculated. Their mistake, which a lot of companies make, is that they believed people like influencers, and enjoy watching influencers receive free stuff as they promote products.
In fact, most people HATE influencers, and they especially hate it when these leeches get free stuff.
