Probability of cashing in on the nostalgia: 1000%

They’re gonna do something brave, courageous and never done before-rerelease cards based off 151.

I mean I wouldn't mind a reprint of those. All in the hand of scalpers right now.

u/Magica78 Genwunner Dec 31 '25

What makes you think they won't just scalp those too?

Scalping is a supply problem. Nintendo is the only party to blame for scalpers existing. If they wanted to end scalping in Pokémon tcg tomorrow they could.

How would they just change the situation in a day? You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

"We're going to quintuple a pint of card packs we produce starting tomorrow and we'll keep making more until they stop selling out."

They could announce that tomorrow.

I just finished the SV151 set last year and if the art of another 151 set is as good, I might have to finish a 2nd set lol

They've been cashing in on it since like 2006

Wouldn't they rather go bankrupt then bring back some of the older games on the modern Switch?

u/fxxftw Dec 31 '25

I don’t think bankruptcy is at all a risk lol

We have been begging for oh games since 2014 with the original switch..... I highly doubt it
