Been watching your videos for a long time (probably about a decade at this point), but really started to get into watching your first playthrough movies in the last few months. Your genuine love and enthusiasm for the franchise is just so refreshing and pleasant. Please never stop doing what you do.
I'm not one for card openings, but yours are always an exception to that. Your fun demeanour and genuine enthusiasm for many of the cards you find make for a lovely watching experience. It's fun to be exposed to something I otherwise wouldn't engage with in such an enjoyable way. Take it easy with your other projects, Absol! I'm sure they'll be terrific all the same.
There are few channels on this site that just exude such a vibe of positivity and genuine humanity. I have watched your content for quite some time, and every video you post is something that just makes me smile. You have such a genuine reaction to things, not hyped up for the camera, just you doing you. It is unlikely this comment will be seen, but if it does, please keep doing what you're doing, Matt. From a long time fan.
Was very excited to see you open this pack! You actually got me back into collecting cards, though I mostly buy full art singles from my lcs these days. Thank you for the video, I love how much you appreciate every card, even if it’s not Crazy Rare Rainbow EX GX Charizard!
That dragonair card is one of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen. By the way, does anyone know how to find the social media of an artist who worked on TCG? I tried so hard to find "rika" who did the art for that card but with such a generic name and with that being the only card attributed to her I was sadly completely unable to figure it out.
im so glad that the pokemon company is finally starting to notice the original 151 and giving it the well deserved love and respect it needs (clearly a joke btw)
Great job Absol I don’t usually watch your Pokémon card content because I like to avoid spoilers for the cards but I couldn’t resist watching your video and keep up the amazing work
you just reminded me of that book at the beginning that i used to look through so much when i was younger, definitely dont have it anymore but have fond memories that i had forgotten about.
This set looks great!! I think It's really easy for "revamps" and stuff like this to become really gimmicky and cheap but it looks like they did a pretty good job honoring the originals while still bringing the nostalgia factor
Those Poké Ball and Master Ball reverse patterns are so cool! I feel having a rare pattern like that is more 'fair' than all those special numbered cards in the sets we have since SWSH, like the rainbow rares. You don't really need any Master Ball cards to complete your set, but it would be nice to have your favourite cards with that pattern :) Also I can't believe the one card I want from this set, full art Pikachu, is the first one you pulled xD
I was hoping you'd pull my favorite, I'm glad you managed a couple of sandshrews 😎 I haven't collected the cards in a long time but I might try to pick up a couple packs of this set, the art is great
Accidentally bought like 100 standard sized card sleeves (YuGiOh uses small, so i got the wrong ones), but at least it gives me an excuse to by Pokemon booster packs. Can't wait to get some of these later this year, I still have yet to pull and illustration rare!
my popplio was some level from being fully evolved and professor oak challenge moon nut ultra version and living pokedex and my starter popplio is A baby because she is A girl and i choose not to evolve her because it took twenty or thirty time to reset to get A girl starter popplio so i decided that i would be uncomfortable with evolveing A pokemon for once and i have no problem with getting egg from A unevolved starter pokemon for completeing the pokedex if i could avoid evolveing A pokemon permanently for the professor oak challenge and plus it is A solo popplio challenge so i had two have her go back two being A popplio i decided two Do some thing like the professor oak challenge
I don't like pokemon cards because i don't understand anything, but god damn that happiest weedle got me good. Now i wanna buy these boosters just for the weedle.❤
What I find really interesting is that the Pokemon icons in the top right corner don''t match the high quality Pokemon icon art leaked earlier this year for scarlet and violet Some icons look almost identical with some tweaks and some look drastically different There's no reason to do this because it is in the same style as the ones leaked earlier this year, just in different poses edit : I realised its the original ken sugimori artwork from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen in that style - I'm dumb
