And its going strong. Forget call of duty and minecraft. Pokemon is a legend. (and btw do cod and mc have tv shows and trading cards like pokemon?!? NAH!)
Actaually mc also gets toys but not happy meals etc. Toy stores so.. cod doesnt get toys only a game. pokemon is bigger franchise also.. roblox is also a big hit that i also like and disliked by parents
Man, I couldn’t have grown up at a better time than as an 8 year old kid in 1999, collecting the cards and playing the game. I was a huge Pokémon fan. I remember doing some chores for my mom and I was rewarded with a booster pack or two of Pokémon cards. Fun careless times back then. I even had a Pokémon backpack for 2nd grade. You had the Pokémon Craze in the late 90’s and the Attitude Era of the WWE then WWF; the Monday night wars. To put it simply the late 1990’s was a great time to be a kid!!.
1999 "haha buying pokemon card packs and saving them to send their kid to college. they wont be worth that much, its a fad" 2023 pokemon base set cards are worth more than gold
Wow , in 1999 there were already adults sealing away the cards/boxes as collectibles as if they knew something big was going to come out of them .. fast forward to now , if they still have them , they're worth cars & houses ... Nowadays , if a big kids phenomenon happens again i don't think parents would collect anything . i wonder what was different back then that made those adults want to collect those cards ?
What he didn’t realise is it would actually be the kids that collected the cards and then grew up and then used them to pay for their own kids college tuition lol. I on the other hand will still hold on to them
you often hear stories these days of people finding multiple sealed booster boxes in attics and becoming rich over night. that was not kids who kept that sealed and put it in the attic it was one of the parents. and those parents were very smart to see how big the craze was and know that even if it dies down one day they will still be worth something if for no other reason than to remind the future adults of their child hood. make no mistake nostalgia is more valuable than gold.
"well they don't really think that they will be" just one sealed booster box that was selling for 100 at the time could get your kids through college or buy you a house nowadays. god i wish my mom got into Pokémon instead of beanie babies and i also wish she bought a few sealed items just to hold onto long term. just one sealed first edition base set pack goes for thousands and if she bought a few legendary collection packs those are going for about a thousand dollars each.
It’s hard for anyone in the moment to believe that something that appears to be a fad will have not only staying power, but that merchandise associated with it will drastically increase in value over the course of 20 years. We’ve seen holographic Charizard cards go for tens of thousands of dollars recently. No one could have predicted that in 1999.
Almost 20 years later, and STILL going on.

not the same level, the future games still have yet to reach what red/blue did.
"david duke - not THAT david duke" holy shit i got confused for a sec

I was 7 and I 100% agree! My school was flooded with cards and trading. Became like a mini casino lol.
If someone bought 10 1st edition base set booster boxes in 99 they could put their kid through college now.
2018 could buy a house with 10 1st edition base boxes
hahahaha 4 years later and 1 box is worth like 50 grand
Lol it’s now 2020 you can get over 100k for 1 Base set Booster box.
@@theentitled01 well, a month later since you comment that and if you have 3 or 4 1st edition base set booster boxes you are literelly a millionaire
only take 1 box now. you could buy a small house with it lol.

My parents actually found a really old baseball card when cleaning out our house, seven years after we first moved in.
Same kids fighting over them 20 years ago still fighting for them today in Walmarts and targets across the country.
Pokémon For Life
Haha fools Pokémon will never die we won't allow it to go anywhere 😁
Pokemon in 1999 is top awesome than Pokemon Go.
Who the hell is paying $6 to 8 for a card game pack back in the day they were like 2.99 to 3.99 tops
Yeah, I think my local atomic comics sold them for 3.99

Glad he said not that David Duke.
2023!
Neat clip.
great commentary by fox as always - completely wrong
Yeah. Pokemon was no different to any other Nintendo property, it was there to stay.

Ha ha that was nowhere even close to it when it was being saturated that didn't come out until at least 2003 or so
If only they knew how much for original sealed packs LMAO 🤣
#they don't think it's gonna be worth anything 18 years later 1 booster pack 1000 $$$$$$$. NOT WORTH ANYTHING WORTH A SMALL FORTUNE
Smart woman
I'm glad that us americanos pronouncing right because the British are not very very smart
