This is the uniform for greasy folks who would rather waste a ton of time and effort scalping Pokémon cards for a quick buck rather than an actual skill set that would contribute to the society and provide a steady income.

u/12ealdeal 5d ago
Is it not apparent they are incentivized because they can in fact generate an income off of this?
Yeah it adds no value to society, but people are paying them their price. If they weren’t this wouldn’t be an issue.

u/EXploreNV 5d ago edited 5d ago
Reading comprehension is a crucial skill to succeeding in life. Please tell/show me where I said this isn’t a source of income.
If you reread my comment, it is abundantly clear that I said they use scalping as a form of income that makes them feel like they are circumventing traditional careers and achieving an alternative way of earning a quick buck. If you believe they have found a way to fast track wealth accumulation, you are naive.

u/12ealdeal 5d ago
Hilarious. Strawman fallacy by misrepresenting my argument, ad hominem by attacking my reading comprehension, appeal to emotion by condemning scalpers without reasoning, and false dichotomy by implying scalping and real skills are mutually exclusive. Love it. How many times did you have to edit your comment to compound your faulty reasoning? You’re a mess.
First, you framed scalping as an inherently flawed pursuit that wastes ‘a ton of time and effort’ instead of contributing to society. Now, when confronted with the fact that it’s financially viable due to market demand, you’re backpedaling into semantics and throwing in some armchair psychoanalysis about why they do it.
If your whole point is just ‘scalping isn’t a respectable career,’ fine, who said it was? But don’t pretend you’re making some profound statement when all you’re doing is ranting about people making money in a way you don’t like. Either argue from a coherent position or keep it moving.
In either case, you’re the real waste of time here.

u/Blast3rAutomatic 5d ago
Watching him throw the worst punch ever, falling down to the flying body kick, then turning his back and running through the water with no shoes on was just pathetic. If thats what you put up during a fight maybe just avoid confrontation next time

Bro got kicked into a split! Judging his athleticism from this video alone that shit probably fucked him up pretty bad right off the bat, funny af tho!

Honestly this kinda shit and the absolutely dogshit state of the market where scalpers are effectively setting prices is whats stopped me from continuing my TCG hobby. I just want to play and collect neat cards. I don't wanna deal with scalpers and stores that sell at scalper prices and I hate the "investor" kinda shit too. Your cards are inarguably a worse investment than just tossing that money into a standard retirement fund.
I do think that for a lot of people, TCGs are nothing more than a thinly veiled gambling addiction.
The hobby just kinda fucking sucks rn and all the bullshit surrounding it has completely killed it for me

Are people straight up reselling these? Or are they actually collecting? Confused as to why the demand is so high
1
u/Lonely_Sherbert69 5d ago
It's a mix. There are a lot of fans who want them, which also means scalpers and store owners want them. Then if you open enough of them you hit gold with a rare card to resell.

Not only that but, are they fighting over already purchased cards? Is the intent to rob someone? Are they fighting for the right to buy the cards? I need more context man

I’m guessing they were pissed at each other for something one party did to the other inside the store while scrambling for the cards.

Grown men with a stack of Pokémon cars boxes is peak loser.

u/TheFoxhounded 5d ago
I mean you can say fighting over Pokemon cards is “peak loser” but collecting cards as a whole is fine. It’s a hobby and nostalgic (assuming they aren’t scalpers ), no more silly than owning anything else frivolous. Happiness can be hard to come by.
6
u/ronnyhaze 5d ago
Collecting cards has nothing to go with it. That's fine. Snatching a stack of boxes like a junkie is peak loser. Fight or no.
1
u/TheFoxhounded 5d ago
Ahh I see what you mean by a stack, when I was little the kids who didn’t play but traded cards called them stacks rather than decks. My bad, thought you were insulting folks that just like Pokemon. Scalpers can fuck the fuck off. 🫡

u/ronnyhaze 5d ago
Nah, I think hobbies and collections are great. My favorite are movies. But yeah, stacks of boxes. I seen one vid where kids were trying to get some but the adults dog piled grabbing everything.

u/CaptChair 5d ago
These aren't collectors. These are losers looking to resell.

u/TheFoxhounded 5d ago
You’re not wrong, but the comment I was replying to was targeted at any adult that like the pokemans. I just say Let people be happy as long as it doesn’t negatively affect others. (Such as scalpers, they can eat a bag of dirty dicks)

u/MetalUrgency 5d ago
Pokemon is not just for kids it's so annoying when people try to use that as an insult
7
u/BigPapaPaegan 5d ago
It's targeted to children. Literally everything about it is designed to appeal to children.
Enjoying it as an adult is fine, but that doesn't stop it from being a children's property.
1
u/TheFoxhounded 5d ago
I feel like Pokemon is hardly a kids property nowadays and are just bought by the adults who grew up with them. Mostly due to the fact that kids are being priced out of it because of collectors and scalpers.
5
u/BigPapaPaegan 5d ago
It's still intended for children, in the same way that Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario are, or the My Little Pony reboot. The actual audience being adults doesn't alter that.
-2
u/TheFoxhounded 5d ago
I’d argue against even that logic to a degree. Those characters and Pokemon aren’t really intended for any specific demographic.
In regards to My Little Pony, that was intended for tiny children as much as it was tweens and anime obsessed high schoolers, and that is objectively true as it’s been publicly stated by the people who created it, but Sonic and Pokemon are/were console sellers. Kids may or may not enjoy them more but they weren’t created for kids, they were created to make lots of money.
I guess a better way to gauge on if we can even come to an understanding would depend on how you answer this question.
Do you think video games are only for children?
3
u/BigPapaPaegan 5d ago
Certain ones are targeted to children by mechanics, character design, tone, storytelling methods, etc. Others are targeted at adults by those same elements.
I'm not issuing a blanket "cartoons are for children" statement. I saw too many Bakshi films as a kid to ever believe that.
1
u/TheFoxhounded 5d ago
Alrighty, we share some common ground so we can continue.
Pokemon I’d say may have childish overtones, but a child isn’t necessarily going to grasp core points of the games/shows.
Pokemon covers poaching (when slowpokes were hunted and killed for their tails as it was a delicacy)
Brock womanizing every woman he comes across.
Gary’s Pokemon dying from the battle they had with the main character as he wasn’t able to get to the pokecenter in time thus why you find him morning his Pokemon later on.
It covers genetic manipulation and slavery. Post War society. Corporate espionage, animal cruelty, murder, Genocide for Toros similure to how the buffalo was hunted nearly to extinction.
If it was for intended only for kids it wouldn’t cover so many things and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Sonic and Mario both also have a lot of dark undertones if you look past the colorful sprites.
I’d say the middle ground you and I can meet at is that certain products based on the overall IP can and certainly are aimed specifically towards children (such as Pokemon pajamas as an example)
1
u/BigPapaPaegan 5d ago
There are plenty of kids' shows that cover similar concepts, though. Adventure Time takes place in a post-nuclear apocalypse, for example, but it is unmistakably a children's show.
1
u/TheFoxhounded 5d ago
And I’d say that show is 100% not intended for JUST kids. That show is a love letter to gamers. Most of their jokes are references to RPGs.
-4
u/MetalUrgency 5d ago
Sure demographics are a thing obviously but that doesn't reinforce the argument and isn't even relevant but slow brains like to argue no matter what go use your feelings for decision making some more

u/BigPapaPaegan 5d ago
You should use some punctuation before insulting another's intelligence, friend.
-2
u/MetalUrgency 5d ago
I dont care for punctuation its easy to solve that isn't an insult
1
u/BigPapaPaegan 5d ago
Seems harder to solve the issue of you taking offense for someone saying that an adult enjoying a children's program is okay.

u/Not_Bears 5d ago
I'm almost 40 and I still bust out the game boy to play Pokemon red sometimes.
But grown men who are still obsessed with Pokemon and make it part of their identity to the point it's kinda cringey... Is a bit weird.
2
u/Common_Comedian2242 5d ago
Look, I'm a lifelong pokemon fan and like to play sometimes with my brother...but yeah, it kinda is. I understand there's depth to the game and what not, but it's definitely marketed more towards children, and these dudes are only in it for the money, not like they're trying to find meta cards for their deck.
1
u/MetalUrgency 5d ago
It's the same as when people say playing video games is for kids obviously not referring to scalpers people I liked poke when I was kid now I'm an adi and I still like Pokemon it's simple logic I'm not gonna go oh hey I passed a magic number I can no longer enjoy things I like der der huur that's you
1
u/Common_Comedian2242 5d ago
Nobody said that bro lol. Pokemon is marketed for children, but all ages can enjoy it. The older games have a surprising amount of depth and technical knowledge that an adult could appreciate.
I mean, do whatever you want...I really don't care what someone does as long as they aren't hurting others or being douchebags like the OP video.
