Let's be real though, the pokemon card game always was awful, we were just too young to play it and evaluate it properly. The games are now shit, the franchise is in the toilet because of obsessing over merchandising.
I'm glad I have other good relics like my heroscape pieces or my pog collection.
I agree that the games have gone downhill, but given that the last game they put out sold 20+ million copies, id hardly say the franchise is in the toilet lol
What the fuck are you talking about? How does quantity have to relate to quality at all. Find anybody that's played all Pokemon games that will say the latest installments are best.
The game is garbage carried by nostalgia and people that will buy the games regardless of how shit they are because they love being pokemon fans
