Controversial Are scalpers the reason this hobby is alive? Not metaphorically. Literally. If we look at the photos people post of Pokémon sitting on Target shelves in 2019. Stacks of it. Untouched. Nobody fighting over it. Nobody streaming it. Nobody refreshing a page at midnight for it. Why were the shelves full? Is it because nobody wanted it? Then the scalpers showed up and did the one thing the Pokémon Company never could: they made it feel scarce. They made it feel valuable. They turned a kids’ card game into something that felt like it mattered, and the second something feels like it might be worth chasing, everyone wants in. But here’s the part nobody admits. It was never really about the resale. It’s about the kid who now begs to go to Target every week. The wife who started pulling packs “just to see.” The girlfriend who has her own binder now. The group chat that lost its mind over a drop. Scalpers gave us something to look forward to together — and something to complain about together. That’s not a market. That’s a community. And it didn’t exist when the shelves were full. We hate them. And yet we’ve never had more fun. Yeah it’s a pain in the you know what to hunt these days, but I can truly say that I’m having fun making memories with my family through Pokemon

What are your thoughts and opinions on Pokemon Sword & Shield?

I want to explain something to Nintendo fans that seem to live in some delusional mindset where they think Nintendo won't be impacted at all by GTA 6. GTA 6 will be the biggest launch in entertainment history, period. Rockstar will be spending close to a billion dollars on marketing, you are going to see the game everywhere before release and even after release. It's going to be all over Tik Tok, streamers, youtubers and website publications will be covering it non stop, word of mouth will be all about GTA 6. Now obviously Nintendo diehards will buy Nintendo games regardless of this but Nintendo isn't just thinking about them, they have to market to people outside twitter, reddit, gaming forums bubbles etc. Now you can't do that when a single game is dominating the conversation everywhere, this is the part that Nintendo fans fail to realise, this is why publishers would rather risk cannibalizing each other in September than going head to head with GTA 6. Xmas is the most important time of the year for Nintendo and they will have to spend three times as much in marketing to even be close to piercing through the noise of GTA 6 especially in the U.S. their largest market. Nintendo will have to release something for the Xmas period no doubt and I am sure whatever it is it won't flop but they will definitely be impacted in some way by GTA 6 despite it not even being on the platform because at the end of the day attention is the fundamental currency of the entertainment industry. Something to think about.

🆘️UPDATE: According to #Sony insider, "God of War: Laufey is about Kratos wife who falls in love with Hela, Loki's sister, looking for the tree of love where they can breed a female Kratos." #PlayStation fans have already expressed disgust for the new game vowing not to buy it.

What are your thoughts and opinions on Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu & Let's Go Eevee?

Imagine being a game developer whose game has a man and a woman in it and literally not being able to focus on the woman at all without gamer's freaking out on them. Huge public outcry over storytellers telling a story.

Women have spent their whole lives playing male characters without complaint. Give you one female protagonist and you cry like babies. So pathetic.
