This wasn't supposed to be the next video but I took a little bit too much time off during the holidays, so here's something shorter in the meantime. Let me know if you'd like to see more of these short videos in between longer uploads, or if you hate them and would rather I never make them again, either works.
I wish it weren’t Eevee’s. The ONLY reason this set was seeing fistfights was because they put The Creature (umbreon) in it. As someone fortunate enough to get A etb, it’s nice to get good utility cards reprinted for cheaper!!! Budew is a hilarious nuke, Regi is great, everything else the got reprints is epic…but the stupid dogs are the reason this set is 1 Eeveeillon dollars. That sucks big time
I was able to get an ETB on release day since a local shop was doing it at the normal ETB price with 1 per person. The hits weren't good but I got 2 Regigigas and 2 Budew (one being a reverse holo) and was just like "Welp that's me done for the set."
@@rekttangela2262I was fortunate enough to get a handful of Budews and Regi’s- (even a master ball Budew, a most prized possession)- but it feel so gross to see a set that could’ve been a great option for players and collectors end up being so horribly overpriced because There’s An Umbreon SIR.
The funny thing is the people fistfighting in the video aren't even fighting over Prismatic Evolutions, they're fighting over a 151 collection that happened to get restocked on the same day.
That's what happens when the richest market in the world gets exclusive products 50% cheaper and much sooner than anyone else... Never happened in Europe, Australia or Asia, but that's because we don't get 25$ Mew UPCs...
Prime catcher was helped a lot by a 30 dollar msrp battle deck that had it and 2 pidgeot ex. It took catcher down to about 12-15 dollars before Prismatic released. Prismatic only really put the big nail in the coffin.
I am so damn glad there is so many more people interested in playing the game now. It makes the scalpers and "hype" buyers look even more moronic. I've already had a conversation with a guy who asked if the store I worked at sold pokemon cards, I told them we could carry prismatic eventually but not currently. They kept saying "EBTs" and "Primpratic" They came back a week later saying they bought out an entire stock of it, adamant the prices on it "wOulD oNLy gO uP" I carefully and kindly tried to compare it to shining fates which was also a follow up to an older set that got showered with praise but a little while after its release was common asf for like 3 years, hell you can probably still find some now. Yet they didn't want any of it, and said they'd sit on it and wait.
It's gonna be reprinted in the trainer box for Journey together I think. Based in Osaka- got the battle partners box(japanese version of journey together). It came with 1 fez, 2 stretchers, 2 counter catchers
I felt like at least Flareon would be serviceable. Has an attack that can charge up energy to a benched Pokemon and since I'm a bit of a casual tinkerer, I was thinking I could make something work. I'm not the biggest Eevee guy. I'm talking about FLAREON, for goodness sake. And I like opening an ETB and seeing what I get. The boxes are great for storing bulk, too. But thanks to the actions of scalpers and Eevee stans, I can't get the one Eeveelution that everyone seems to agree is the worst. And I cannot stress how much that doing stuff like this is a hobby, an extremely casual one. A few assholes rock the boat and everyone goes overboard.
I love Eeveelutions and was hyped for this set... until I saw the card list. Sure, some of the full art Eeveelution EXes are kinda pretty, but like... the chances of me pulling them are pretty slim, even if I manage to get my hands on some packs, and if I did get them I'd struggle to justify keeping them when they're so expensive. I do sorta want the mini tins for my collection, but not enough to physically fight people for them (or pay 2-3x retail to the scalpers). I'll probably wait and see if supply increases to the point it's no longer worth buying for marked up resale (or if they have any mini tins at the EUIC Pokemon Centre pop up next month), just for the fun of seeing if I can pull a full art Leafeon, but tbh I could probably settle for the virtual versions in TCG Live (which are unlimited and don't cost me any actual money)
Just found your channel, and while I don’t play Pokemon TCG competitively (I just open packs now and then) I still love learning about the current meta, and these videos are super entertaining and informative so 10/10 thank you for your work 🐙
I remember paying 4 bucks for earthen vessel hoo boy that was rough. That aside i like the eeveelutions and i like collecting as well as playing and i lowkey hope they print this set to the ground
Vaporeon having a spread attack to exs is so useless because every other Pokémon ex released recently are all Tera with bench protection, Raging Bolt with Ogrepon isn’t going anywhere along with Dragapult and Zard,
As someone who was out of the game for a bit and didn’t get back in until Stellar Crown was a thing, I am glad for all the reprints. It’s making getting some cards more realistic. It’s nice that some cards are cheaper on the secondary market, but I also wish that I could get a few boosters for the fun, but like you said, it is not worth clubbing people over the head for it.
I opened like 9 prismatic evolution packs and got 2 masterballs, 2 pokeball holo, and an alt art Eri. Out of all the people in the card shop for the midnight prerelease and the other time I bought I saw maybe like 3 exs total. It may be a conspiracy but I think they made the pull rates lower so people buy more
I bought a prismatic evo etb, retail price, and am happy at that. Got a couple decent things i like (cornerstone ogerpon ex, 3 pokeball cards, masterball suicune and a full art supporter) but i have no interest in going further. I have however bought tons of ass cheap cards i want for deck building (prime catcher, max rod, teal mask ogerpon ex, more cornerstone and vessels/poffins) so im happy
you posting this video however short it is is a hugeeee win, low-key second best win of this set next to budew, also "NO FEZ REPRINT IN REPRINT CITY AND THIS S**T COST 70$??"
Sheesh, this set is great for the reprints. Unfortunately it included all the Eevee cards so it’s collector bait. Bah, I just want to buy packs at regular msrp instead of triple it. So many great cards for building actual decks.
Just gonna go out there and guess that Fezandipiti ex will be in the Spring 2025 League Battle Deck, the 2025 Trainer Toolkit, or both potentially. I know it’s a long ass time to wait for this card to be reprinted but I don’t think they can justify making a $20 or $30 ex box for it, so I think it’ll be a selling point of one of those two products this year.
Yeah as a player who doesn't care about eeveelutions, it's basically just budew and cool reprints. It's fine. Budew is kinda unfun but the reprints are great so it kinda evens out I guess.
good video. I didn’t really care about the fez reprint because you usually only need one in each deck and counter catcher has his yellow bordered cousin but no night stretcher is beyond me
I think prismatic evolutions is a good set, the only issue is scalpers and resellers beating eachothers ass to see who gets to put up that coveted umbreon EX for a huge amount of money. theres a local store near me that actually sells prismatic at a decent price.
as someone who is not immune to Eeveelutions, I did participate in the hype a little and got my one ETB on release day from my local store. there were some super cool non-Eevee fancy arts I wanted (Raging Bolt, Bloodmoon Ursaluna, Iron Valiant) and the super fast Jolteon is adorable, but there’s nothing in this set worth fighting someone over or paying $120+ for an ETB, like I saw people doing
“TCGLive is Bugged, it thinks all ex cards from this set are Tera” what do you mean by this? Is it just the search filters or do they actually function wrong in the game client?
Gotta say, it's quite refreshing to see a pokemon fan who isn't a fan of the eevee line! Like good lord, eeveelutions are overrepresented as hell, it's extremely annoying when you don't actually like them that much. Also, another thing to mention, though its kinda niche. On TCG Live, bc the set released, there's a new battle pass. The rewards being mostly Eeveelutions ex is kinda meh, but annoying (also its kinda hilarious one of the rewards is the Regidrago Vstar deck with all the fancy cards, considering Regidrago Vstar is gonna leave the regular format bc of the set rotation on April). However, half the daily missions require you to literally play the eeveelutions ex. Some can be worked around, like doing 280 damage in 1 attack (golly gee what a coincidence that vaporeon, flareon and jolteon all have a 280-damage attack!) or attaching a fire, water and lightning energy to your mons. But one of those missions is literally "play vaporeon ex, jolteon ex and flareon ex", another is "play umbreon ex and espeon ex" and there are 2 others that want you to require to literally play specific cards. Like bro, I'm just trying to enjoy playing my chien pao deck before it gets rotated out. But yeah, long story short, I'm kinda peeved at Nintendo shoving the eevee line in our face as often as it does, it's annoying, when there are so many overlooked mons that don't get a fourth of the attention that line gets. (Mothim fan here, this pokemon got a holo rare card in 2009, and never got anything above that rarity, he's not even included in the new TCG pocket expansion when it's literally about gen 4!) Like, I get it, those are mascots, they make the packs sell (fuckton of scalpers fro prismatic evolutions, as you've said yourself), i understand the reasoning. But it's still annoying Also the alt arts from the v, vstar, vmax eeveelutions are better than the ex, but that doesn't matter much.
Only reason the scalping doesn’t bother me as much is because as a player this set is hot flaming garbage (aside from budew/regigigas) but it is annoying having to wait on my budew to arrive when I need them for tournament play.
I'm a casual collector of pokemon cards and two of my brothers are really into pokemon cards rn. One of their birthdays is coming up and I'm annoyed I won't be able to pick up any prismatic evolutions for him because its all sold out where I live. I think the set is great by the metric of people want to buy it, but I think its a massive L on the part of the pokemon company for not producing more. Its lierally free money for them.
I don't really care much for this set as I already have a lot of the cards that were reprinted from the homophobic three and evil mochi demon special set and don't really have much interest in the other cards except the masterball cards, those ones are cool
Im more annoyed that the eeveelutions arent even good. Yeah they are overrepresented af but they are cute so i wanted to play them. The stellar tera mechanic in general is underwhelming, but the Eeveelutions in particular are just bad. I had hoped that they got a tool or special energy similar to their V counterparts, or given a tag out mechanic like Ogerpon's Mask Change, or just overal had better utility across the board. The fact that only 3 of them are even somewhat playable is laughable. The stellar tera mechanic is already clunky, but then attaching the worst effects possible to them is even worse.
It's funny to me that you call this set collector bait, because as someone who has barely ever played the card game, that's my opinion of every set lol. The cards having fun mechanics is almost a mistake when it happens.
Definitely a bait set, and honestly the eeveelution arts arent even that cool compared to previous stuff so i dont get the hype. Happy for Budew though, it finally gets another card!
I dont Care about the set, eeveelutions ir not, whatever... But budew is the most BS card i see in a decade, that shit makes no Sense and already ruined the format

I already used Budew in a match
Is disgusting
the lack of a Fezandipiti reprint is really puzzling to me
I feel like they omitted it so the excess shrouded fable product will sell
It's gonna be reprinted in the trainer box for Journey together I think. Based in Osaka- got the battle partners box(japanese version of journey together). It came with 1 fez, 2 stretchers, 2 counter catchers
I was so disappointed by it I thought it was guaranteed since terastal festival had it

Exactly, they should have just added Ancient traits back instead of this crappy Tera mechanic
The reprints are cool (I wish I could say more)
Seaking for festival and black belt's training were also nice cards
but thats about it :( four cool cards
both are mid in general tho
I'm trying not to leak the festival grounds sauce, they cut the lilligant that was supposed to help it out so I haven't forgiven the Pokemon company.
gate keeping the festival sauce wow :(
@@FaizanNStuffso? Not everyone wants to play Regidrago or Dragapult bro. Rogue decks like FL rule, go back to YGO if you want a single-deck meta lol
I'm so sad that every card except fez and night stretcher got reprinted because i dont wanna spend $20 on 4 cards ;-;

You don't say 😮
Dude you rule! Shared this to some of my friends to help you grow!
As a budget irl tcg player I love this set because I got budews, researches, and vessels
How are researches the staple you're missing? It's the one staple that borders on bulk, especially with turo/sada variants in every other set haha
Ohh I like the game and watch style
I could see Fez and Night Stretcher being included in Prize Pack Series 6, coming in around two weeks
Great video, i thank the recommended section

Guess I need to learn clubbing

1:06 the verbal reaction I had to this image-
Thanks algorithm. This is dope. No one else does it like this! Love the content for the actual game!
The set gave me Seaking, I'm happy with just that \o/
Just gonna go out there and guess that Fezandipiti ex will be in the Spring 2025 League Battle Deck, the 2025 Trainer Toolkit, or both potentially.

Man I just want to get a little silly with great tusk mill and upgrade my festival lead deck
Suprised you never mentioned the new seaking, it’s a great addition to the festival lead deck and lets you hard counter zard ex even harder

Cool video, I understood this one because you didn't discuss any game mechanics. Why won't they make a good lechonk card if lame ass budew gets one?
Budew is actually great for the format imo
My only regret is not getting all of the JP reprints, iron hands ex could be 3 dollars by now but creatures inc clearly hates ME in particular

everything is cheaper now.
and eevee is the goat do diss my boy like that😠

Nope.
Scalper's trash "TCG" shops are a mistake ever since it became cool to collect Pokémon cards.
Oh, and Budew of course.
warioware music :)
Ah, that's because ur focus is gaming. Not collecting. That's all. Nice vid, tho
