Pokémon games as of recently have been showing off great storylines. There has been more emphasis on them and with greater consequences. But the trading card game has always been a step ahead. It always has something interesting to tell as it doesn’t abide by the standards of the video game world. The latest expansion of the card series, however, sort of falls in-between.
Next up are a couple of Mythical Pokémon packs from the 20th anniversary celebration. We received both September and October’s sets which show off Victini and Keldeo , respectively. Both packages come with a collectible pin of the featured Pokémon, a special card for them, and two booster packs. Just a piece of advice, be sure to inspect them as closely as possible. Our Victini pin had just a bit of gold lining covered on its head from the injected enamel, it’s not going to be detrimental to a fan but it would be to a collector. In stores, check through every box possible before making your selection. The pins are definitely worth it for huge fans of these cuties. They are highly detailed and look great on display. Some fans pick these boxes up just for the pins alone. It really shows off how truly committed they are to their Pokémon partners.
Playing Pokémon Trading Card Game teaches you when to reshuffle and how to evolve your Pokémon, but most importantly it teaches you what all the words on the cards mean. Terminology like “Pokémon Powers” can be a little tough to keep track of, and some trainer card effects are downright arcane. This game lets you learn exactly how they function by trial and error. The computer calculates effects and handles things like coin flips for you, and after playing for a while you should be able to extrapolate what cards you haven’t seen before mean.
First we have a double dose of decks with Tropical Takedown and Twilight Rogue. The former features Alolan Exeggutor on the cover. It’s cleverly packaged as the long, neck divides the window of the box. Its contents, however, are what really counts. Alolan Exeggutor comes in with 160 HP which is good to start. Its attack is Tropical Shake which deals a measly 20 damage, but you add 20 more for every basic energy card in your discard pile (but can’t exceed 100). This ups its value as a member of your team and would benefit from going third or fourth in the battle, depending on varying circumstances. As long as there’s a good amount of energy cards in the pile, Exeggutor could wipe out plenty of threats. Alolan Sandslash comes with the deck as well and makes for a fair sweeper. Its ability allows you to draw a card before attacking which helps plan for future moves. Smash Turn needs three energy cards but wallops opponents with 50 damage; doing so means you have to switch it with a benched Pokémon. So, if you need to deal some quick damage and can swap into a beefier ally, Alolan Sandslash is handy.

In an effort to mitigate scalping over the holiday season, Walmart has released a new policy for Pokémon cards , instituting a 5-pack/box limit per visit to the store, both in-person and online.

If you were a child of the late 90s, you were guaranteed a seat on the Pokémon hype train. You had the games, cards, lunchboxes and possibly even underwear. There was no escape from Pokémon. The cards in particular made people go insane. Stores would charge $2.50 for a single Nidorino and up to $60.00 for a holographic Venusaur, and we all heard legends of kids who struck it rich after pulling a Charizard. Opening a fresh booster to find a rare card was a thrill only matched by stumbling across a shiny in the grass.
