That Rhydon Guy

Unpopular opinion: The Pokemon card market is still in its infancy. We’re pricing nostalgia, not history. We’re pricing moments, not origins. We’re pricing popularity, not provenance. When this market matures, the repricing will be violent. Rhydon was designed in 1990. First Pokemon ever created. But a PSA 10 costs $500. Meanwhile Charizard - designed AFTER Rhydon - trades at $500k. Why? Anime. Nostalgia. Childhood memories. All valid. All already priced in. Rhydon’s story? Not priced in at all. I’m betting the market eventually cares about who started it. 🦏

@shotguncaio The one that started it all

If the algorithm brings this to you, reply with your favorite Pokémon. Here's mine:

@madijadeaudio @Bellsprout_Boss Rhydon is 🧠🧠🧠

@Bellsprout_Boss fun fact: rhyhorn was the first pokemon designed :)

Be honest… are Rock-types actually anyone’s favorite?

Stack Dons. Silence is my friend right now.

@Bellsprout_Boss @RealNidoKing Wow

@RealNidoKing @ForgottenFirst_ Thanks King! 👑

We’re getting Fire Red & Leaf Green when we should’ve gotten Poison Purple & Ground Brown 😭👑 #FRLG #Pokemon #Nidoking #Rhydon

@Bellsprout_Boss Unless there’s a Time Machine

@ForgottenFirst_ Rhydon will always be 1st 😉

When they tell me Mew was first. #vintagepokemon #pokemon #rhydon

@ZubatZar @pokemon_nstlgia This is like saying what came first, iPhone or Apple. 🤣

@pokemon_nstlgia It's my boy Rhydon @ForgottenFirst_ Although why use the spiderman meme? Does this mean they are all the first? 🤔

@ZubatZar @pokemon_nstlgia Rhydon. Not even a debate.

All I can tell you is that the Edition One BGS 9 is better than the Logan Paul PSA 10 #PikachuIllustrator #loganpaul #pokemon

This is genius. Everyone will be playing this. The love and nostalgia for the original 151 Pokemon will grow exponentially. Vintage 📈📈📈

@atsohom 🫡🤝 keep following !

@ForgottenFirst_ loved reading this. your observation about market pricing is very astute.

How Charmander became the Chief - Finale Charmander ventured towards the faint red glow inside. Finally, after a long grueling journey, he found more of his kind. Charmanders are hard to find in the wild. With his new brothers, they discussed what lies below. 🧵 1/6
