Amazing episode, as always. I’m sure it’s a combination of reasons so suffice to say your interviews are the ones I listen to most consistently, and are the ones I am most likely to listen to in their entirety. Side note: I don’t mind the lack of rapid strike questions. I sometimes skip that section to get to the meat of the podcast.
@MellowMagikarp Maximum (or Minimum in some instances) Advertised Price Policy. Basically, they could enforce a pricing window around MSRP and prevent sales from authorized stores/distro/etc outside of their approved range of value, regardless of whatever the Market (3rd party) value is.
Regarding increase of LGS leagues and casual play currently I don't see any efforts from Play Pokemon to do that. Here in EU we still have countries (baltic ones Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia examples) which are not on Play Pokemon list and our LGS can't initiate Leagues despite that they have all other TCG official support except Pokemon. Currently all processes and ways to get into the list of supported countries seams hopeless.
people are comparing this to the pandemic and that's such a terrible take. This is real genuine hype of people pouring in all there money into these new sets coming out into Pokemon. This isn't fake lol. This will probably be the new base going forward so that only means Pokemon will have to print even more or this will continue to happen with things being sold out months in advanced lol.

Appreciate it 💜
As long as I can buy 4 Budew from somewhere I’ll be happy
There's going to be a plentiful Budew supply for all
I feel like if Pokémon had a MAPP, it would help a lot of this and stop the distros from being as evil as they are.
What's a MAPP?

Price It is controllable , price should never be above pokemon center pricing

It's definitely something we'll keep seeing, as we mentioned at the end the trainer's Pokemon almost certainly make those sets sought after as well
