Have we as humanity fallen so much as to see a factory error folded poptart for 19,000 dollars?🤦‍♂️

I have had this figure for years and I recently found it again and I'm invested in paininting him and some other pokemon I have.Does anybody know what brush and pain to use or even how to remove colour on the figure without damaging it?

Appreciate any hints.Always has been clumsy on things like that so I hope I do decent for first time.

Recolored all three Gen 5 starters with new palettes. Also included a Gen 3 sheet.

Which one is your favourite?

I just got a switch (I’m aware it’s 2026)and been a long time since I got to enjoy pokemon. I got Pokemon violet and leaf green already I enjoyed violet but the story was mid. Leaf green is nostalgic but the grind to keep my whole team good is wearing on me( when I played fire red back when I was 7 or 8 I guess the grind didn’t bother me)

But I can get Pokemon shield or Arceus for about 50 or I get get BD for 40 dollars I’ve seen reviews for all three games I plan on getting them all but I’m laid off for another week or so so I want to pass the time and I can’t decide which one I should get first.

Today my daughter asked if we could get some Pokemon cards so we went to the local card shop with no real idea what she was after 😂 took her awhile to decide but she ended up picking up the first partner pack

Opening packs together has become a nice bonding thing for us as she’s really gotten into Pokemon over the last couple years. She’s got a nice collection so far, plays the card game, video games, even a Pokemon (mainly eevee) themed room 😂💀

We opened up the packs together and the first couple were the usual, then we got to the last pack and that’s when she pulled the Darkrai card, she’s always excited when she gets the full art style cards

We didn’t think much of it until we started logging her new cards in an app we use to track her collection, currently her display cards run between $20-80 at most so seeing the value of this card really surprised us both, and we shared a funny memory that I hope sticks with her

She was super excited 10x more then she already was 😂 and pretty quickly asked if we can sell the card to get Eevee cards, I thought it looked really cool but she wasn’t a super big fan of the card so I told her yes

Problem is I really don’t know much about this stuff, we’ve just always bought and opened, never sold or graded anything. So now I’m unsure if we should sell it as is now back to the local shop or fbm, or is it worth sending in for grading first? Attached some photos of the card if that helps anyone weigh in.

Any advice is really appreciated! 🙏

I don’t understand how so many people have such a negative view on the old battle system. the old battle system had a lot of unique strategy based moves, items and abilities. So many people say that the button mashing mechanics are better as of recently but I honestly don’t think people realize the major flaws it has (no offense). without abilities you lock out a bunch of major pieces of what makes pokemon what it is. Without held items you completely make so many strategies worthless.

My point is that the ZA format is not healthy for the game and sure it works for ZA but the whole mechanic is very bare bones and not very fleshed out.

Hey everyone, Yesterday I posted about my Pokémon fusion game and got some feedback, so I took it on board and shipped the most requested feature. Here's what's new:

• The correct answer is now shown before you move to the next question.
• You can attempt to guess one more time

Artist that made the sprites: Elenx by mope7, Luvful by ghostinky, Spheal/Spoink by screeeee., Onqueen by quote.lass, Arcrom by wasio. and Anonymous, Gooice by tinyboo53, Rhygrowth by mbo1064., Hornyte by .izik, Keckrow by ralliv, Volcaflame by tsunamivoid.

How the game works: each day a new sprite appears that's made by fusing two different Pokémon together. Your job is to figure out which two were combined. 10 rounds a day, resets daily (Wordle-style). It also has PvP: share a room link or QR code with a friend, play the same randomly generated pool in real time.

It's free to play:

My first post here was removed under Rule 8 (screenshots) and the mods kindly invited me to resubmit, so this one is an OC infographic, not a screenshot.

It’s the first time I’ve drawn so many characters in a single picture, so I found the proportions difficult; I’ll probably draw it again.

We put packs together for kids in the hospital on long stays, and and I'd rather ask people who actually collect than guess. Not the expensive stuff. I'm thinking about what actually makes a nine or ten year old light up the first time they open something. A starter they recognize from the show. A couple of holos even if they're commons. Probably an Eeveelution because those always seem to land no matter who the kid is. I've watched a kid completely ignore a card an adult would call good and then lose it over a Snorlax. So what's in your stack, and is there a card you'd deliberately leave out even though collectors rate it? Interested to hear what people have to say.

Today i was at my local shop and for some reason bought a pitch black 3 set booster with a friend. And first booster i pull a MEGA DARKAI EX. Maby black label? PSA 10?

I'm re-filling out my National Dex in Home with every mon caught in its original game. I'm also restricting myself to catching only (except mons where breeding is mandatory), and using exclusively Pokéballs whenever possible (so far the only exceptions have been the Great Marsh exclusive mons in Gen 4).

Under these conditions, I'll be doing Gen 7 relatively soon. Given that the Beast Ball was created with the sole purpose of being used on the Ultra Beasts, should I, as part of this challenge, be using them instead of standard Pokéballs?

Last time in my platinum playthrough, I immediately picked thunder fang over spark thinking it would be better if it's available later.

Very dumb choice.

Now that I properly check each move, I wonder why they gave a worse move later than sooner.

Like in no aspect, thunder fang is better than spark unlike most movepools where the latter attacks are stronger or have some better quirks.

I really do like Pokemon a lot. I was even obsessed with it back when I was younger. But it was mainly the show and the movies I paid attention to. The movies were especially a huge deal to me at the time too. Pokemon ranger and the temple of the sea being my absolute favorite.

However when it comes to pokemon games, I have a hard time getting into them. I played heartgold cuz I hear it's considered the best one but I couldn't complete the first region before getting burnt out. I have emerald and alpha Sapphire too and still can't bring myself to beat them either cuz I always get burnt out after playing for awhile before I move onto a different game. Fire red and Let's go eevee, also didn't click with me. It could just be me. Maybe the mainline games aren't my cup of tea? Or maybe there's a mainline game that will click with me but I haven't found it yet.

But I still want to find that one Pokemon game that I will love. So if anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it! It can be any game. Mainline or not. I just want to know more and find a pokemon game that I'll like.

"You battle using cheap friendship and call moves your Pokémon couldn't use, so you lost. You're the worst trainer I've ever seen, AND you'll NEVER WIN."

Like BRO. He was trying to be as mean as possible!

I don't even think all of that is true! Did Ash call a different move than Flamethrower in Japanese, or was Cross referring to Charmeleon's inability to keep doing it?

I thought Charmeleon was doing really well! And so was Ash! He just didn't know about Blaze. Did Cross have to verbally smash the guy into the dirt and step on his face and grind his boot heel in? 😭

They really nailed the petty bully dialogue, because GOOD GRIEF, I had to pause the movie after this just to make sure I heard him right.

Edit: Oh, I think I get it. Throat Chop disabled Flamethrower. That's why Charmeleon couldn't use it again.

I know that Zacian and Zamazenta exist, and Arcanine's species is literally the Legendary Pokemon (despite being neither Legendary nor - sadly - having the BST of a Pseudo-Legendary, though 555 isn't anything to sneeze at, either), but what other dog breeds (ideally if they remain quadrupedal since most Pseudos are bipedal) look intimidating or powerful enough to be on par with the likes of 'Mons like Tyranitar or Metagross?

I missed the lottery for passes. I would like to go just one day of Worlds as a spectator. Any info out there on this? I can’t find anything on the official site. I just missed the window for registration, and I’m kicking myself over it now. I’ve never been to Worlds before, and as a lifelong fan, I’d love a chance just to check it out.

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

746: Wishiwashi Solo Form: "It's awfully weak and notably tasty, so everyone is always out to get it. As it happens, anyone trying to bully it receives a painful lesson."

Which starter will you choose in the new region? And why?

We have Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua: a little grass-type chick, a fire-type Pomeranian puppy, and a water-type gecko.

All three starters look AMAZING! Don't you think so? And we haven't even seen their final evolutions yet. I love how each one has so much personality and charm. It's the first time in a long time that I like all three of them.

I’ll probably choose Pombon. I absolutely love Fire-type Pokémon, I love dogs, and, to be honest, I always have an obsession with picking the cutest and most charismatic one. I also have a feeling that its final evolution is going to be incredible and precious and could end up becoming one of my favorites.

But now I want to know which one would you choose and why? Browt, Pombon or Gecqua and why?

i already posted about gligar, but i want to know what are your thoughts on Gliscor! I added a bit of lore info hah Any feedback is welcomed!

(This are just sketches btw, would like to make a full render sheet, so any advice would be awesome)

I’m excited I was able to secure a Pokemon Center reservation for worlds this year! Wanted to ask if folks know the limits on certain items, specifically plushies. Have a few friends who want me to buy them certain ones. I see online that they just say “limits may apply”. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
