IMO, Pokemon break / opening channels are extremely dangerous for kids, especially young kids. They promote endless, mindless consumption—just ripping pack after pack after pack and immediately ignoring 80% of the cards in each one. Most kids don’t understand why their parents won’t (or can’t) buy them as many packs…

An “Illustration Rare” is a regular Pokemon, and a “Special Illustration Rare” is a Pokemon ex. That’s why the Gardevoir ex was a Special and the Ralts and Kirlia weren’t.

“eBay is working closely with the seller of this rare Pokémon Illustrator card, and we can keep you informed should the card be re-listed,” a spokesperson for the PR firm repping the auction told Kotaku in an email.

Here’s the line that was most interesting for me:

The blog specifically states that “Content already released under 1.0a will also remain unaffected.”

It’s baffling to me that TGA didn’t have a pre-sourced list of who is coming up on stage to accept on behalf of each game.

Wait until you find out what they do for most of the game trailers!

It’s like, we get it Kotaku. You’re still really bitter that Nintendo won’t give you advance codes for their games anymore. It’s super super unfair.

I mean, once he got that show on Fox about his restaurant and family, I figured he was going places.
