@dagdamor3725 @ryantylervo As we have seen with the Pokémon TCG where they have massively increased production, but the resellers are just still grabbing it all before the consumer

@TacoOreoYummy @ryantylervo Over 10 billion cards were printed in the last fiscal year. 13% of all Pokémon cards ever printed in Pokémon's history

@JoeMerrick @ryantylervo Your logic fails when konami is able to keep demand up with yu-gi-oh cards. They just keep printing no matter what if they did the same with pokemon the sets would be worth very little and demand would b e met

@JoeMerrick @ryantylervo Ummm. Limited quantity made us the definition of artificial scarcity. Yes, don’t for an anniversary- but still artificial scarcity.

So the Global Challenge ended up with 411,137 players. Quite down on the 719k from the Warm-Up Challenge. That's 57% of the players This was at 300k at 9pm UTC and did grow by 100k in the last 5 hours as people scrambled to get their battles in to get the Venusaur reward though

@SN_Server I mean the gross value involved would be the retail value not the second-hand market

@JoeMerrick Is Pokémon REALLY the top grossing brand in the world, or have scalpers buying everything inflated it's value?

@randomlybrian Problem is that the number of people who participate in the live circuit is significantly lower. This season there's only ~6,600 players who earned Championship Points They've removed prior listings but last season (2024-25) only 13,000 people had played at an event globally

@JoeMerrick To be expected for any new game… There was no CP award for this right? I wonder if the next global challenge offers CP and we’ll see a small bump compared to this challenge as a result.

@JoeMerrick I have no idea what I’m talking about? 😂 you fail to see facts due to the fact they support your livelihood since it’s your job to glaze Pokemon as a company and complain about pple who use them as a profit. Kinda like what u do but in a different way.

@AshKetchumdaddy "Short selling"? What makes you think they're doing that? Considering 13% of all cards ever printed were last fiscal year, you have no idea what you are on about

@JoeMerrick No because they sell the same thing without pikachu face on it the next row over for like 2$. U want this to stop? Tell the Pokemon company who u simp for to stop short selling all their products to generate hype which cause’s scalping in the first place.

@AshKetchumdaddy You don't find bulk buying and reselling food at 10x the price problematic?

This April just gone was the biggest April ever on Serebii, and the 7th biggest month ever. This is all down to Pokémon Pokopia, but with a nice bump from Champions for a short time Thanks so much for your trust with Pokopia. I am so proud of that section

@PedoPanderer So if it's targeted for children, why is it ok for adults to buy out all products and sell it at massive markup rather than allow children to buy it? Also Pokémon is for everyone.

@JoeMerrick Your Hobby? There were no Adults in "Your" hobby 25 years ago Maybe you should get out of a hobby specifically targeted for children.

@BestBoievar Yes which is why pop tarts are on sale and why people adding 10x cost is bad

Agreed it’s so frustrating as a fan. My nephews and nieces are disappointed as they can never seem to get any packs/boxes they are lucky if they can find any single packs about One of my local shops have started doing a 1 box/etb per customer and even removing the seals from the boxes. I know it’s not great if you are a sealed collector however it has seemed to deter some scalpers in my area Managed to pickup an ETB of Phantasmal flames so split the packs between them. First ETB I’ve been snake to get since an unbroken bond booster box whenever that was defo a few years at least
