Lol my 5 year old son just snuck out of bed to show me your channel lol ...its 10.00 at night an hes been hiding under his covers watching this and playing pokemon ruby ..im proud of u son ...just like me as a kid
I honestly want to like the English versions more because it's what I grew up on but the Japanese cards are just so clean. I love the holo border and the vibrantness of the Japanese cards
It's disappointing that the English cards don't have the same borders as the Japanese. The shiny borders create a unique card which could justify the price. It doesn't seem as high quality without it
they did this for celebrations too re: the borders. at least they're consistent i guess haha
Magic 30 should've been like this. The decks, the layout, everything. $400 for something really, really cool as opposed to $1K for a few packs of sadness.
I love both! The yellow borders are so nice! But those holo borders on the Japanese cards hit different. And the difference in how vibrant the English and Japanese cards is insane!
I think the sparkly borders on the Japanese version give them a little extra touch, but the English cards still look amazing. Thanks for opening this and sharing with us, it's super cool!
Japanese colours are much more vibrant but having the yellow borders gives it that nostalgia and I definitely prefer that. Voltorb was an amazing card too!
I really like both English and Japanese, I don't mind that English doesn't have the holo borders because it actually makes it look more old school for me
Sometimes it’s nice to miss a week of videos to have a bunch of great content to watch all at once.
I prefer the regular yellow borders. I remember as a kid wanting to get certain commons/uncommons in holo like Charmander (I didn't understand only rares got holo 😅) so this just slaps. Fulfills that desire from 20+ years ago!
Wish I had the opportunity to open this myself and see how sick these cards look in person. They look so good!
Very cool to see these beautiful artworks! But you can see the Japanese big 3 the Pokémon are a bit more “zoomed in” than the English side by side. Preference for me are those sparkly Japanese borders, the feel is a bit more classy and upscale than the English version.
This box is now at 198 at Sam’s club🙏🏾
Man what a holiday gift this could be for someone. I hope a lot of people have a good Christmas with this product!
Awesome! It must be super nostalgic to go back to these cards. Glad I’m here to watch!
From the standpoint of nostalgia as an American consumer, I don’t mind the yellow borders because it’s closer to the way they were originally printed in english
These are so cool just not what I'm looking for in pokemon! Just rather buy packs, blisters, booster boxes, to complete my sets. Love your content and what you do for us poke heads!
I personally love the original borders! Also liked that they didn't put the base starters on the front- less likely to have damage. The contrast between the colors is just like the original base set unlimited english vs japanese base set. Love it.
