While I think the list is absolutely fake, I disagree with this comment. TPCi would only move to have it removed if it was CLEARLY legitimate. If the information looks FAKE and they move to have it removed, it will only attract more attention to the removed post. Moving to have it removed is...

Because we're the biggest Pokemon TCG market? It's either us or Japan and I don't think Pokemon TCG is even popular in Japan. They have an entire mix of other things.

The issue isn't that WPM decided to stop posting scans. The issue is the way he went about announcing it. He did in the most sycothantic matter and he basically threw all Pokemon TCG fans under the bus. "Look everyone, I'm turning over a new leaf! Stop selling me heroin!!!" This is basically...

What a sellout. I hope another site steps up to take Pokebeach's place.

It's currently 12% off singles at TrollandToad for CyberMonday. Get it while it's hot. Somebody stole the last Expedition Clefable from my cart just while I was about to check out. :lol:

Easy solution: How about we have 17 Pokemon types but 7 (or less) energy types. (For ex. Atk/Sp Atk/Spd/Def/Sp Def energy.) So for example, Dragon Pokemon would be like it is right now. There's a Dragon type but there would be no Dragon energy. It would basically fix all the...

It's not a subjective "opinion" so much as an "unsubstantiated claim". Venusaur was a pretty horrible Pokemon in the game. Horrible base stats and horrible moveset. Did you know that Gen 1, Venusaur's most powerful STAB attack was Razor Leaf, that only had 55 Power?! (That's not counting...

I don't even understand why this particular merchant suddenly decided to crack open so many cases. In the past, they've only stocked around 20 - 30 of each of the ultra rares. This time around, many of the ultra rares have over 80 in stock and even the most sought after ultra have roughly 50 in...

Nintendo doesn't make most of its money from the competitive community, though. Pokemon is the major TCG with the least amount of players. Only a small fraction of that of MTG. Most Pokemon buyers buy their cards from Walmart.

You guys don't have to complete your collections by cracking cases of boosters. Just buy a couple of boxes and then buy singles. Almost every card except Mewtwo is $14.99 or under at Trollandtoad I think. That's reasonably priced, especially if you compare to Yugioh! or even MTG. Also, if you...

You are wrong. Nintendo has openly stated MULTIPLE times that it views Apple as its greatest competitor. http://www.forbes.com/sites/briancaulfield/2010/10/21/apple-bigger-near-term-threat-than-microsoft-nintendo-of-america-president-says/...

That's like saying, "you're wrong even if you're right." lol I think the situation now is really different from way back among the first Nintendo doomsayers. The greatest change is that the technology Nintendo is pitching has become increasingly antiquated and obsolete and their revenue model...

Did P!P demote some holos this time around? I was looking forward to that Arcanine! :mad:

That is only partly correct. http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/26/nintendo-releases-quarterly-earnings-report-61-percent-drop-in/ From a quarterly standpoint, the issue is about how much money Nintendo DIDN'T MAKE relative to last year. From an annual standpoint, Nintendo is now projecting a...

The player demand and speculation isn't the problem. Before Tarmogoyf, sellers were willing to offer reasonable pre-order prices. Soon after the card was sold cheaply, it was discovered that the card was amazingly good and the price of the card skyrocketed. Since then, retailers have hedged...
