I wanted to mention this before watching the video. Just before NAIC, i looked at limitless online tournaments just to see what was being played. I found that over 20 decks were top 8 cutting in tournaments of over 150 players. We're really playing a golden age of pokemon tcg.

0:01 Your tag team gx intro has the vibes of "then everything changed when the fire nation attacked" lol

One of the best things about the Scarlet & Violet era is the return of classic cards from the ADV/PCG era, like Iono, Reversal Energy, and Counter Catcher. These cards give players who didn’t draw well in the first 2–3 turns a real chance to come back into the game.

This truly was the best time for the TCG. I started playing in the first year of scarlet and violet and immediately fell in love with the format. There were so many decks winning and such a diverse style. My first deck was a weird palkia alola vulpix counter box that aimed to beat everything, never worked in practice though. Then I picked up Chien pao and it was good, yet fell out of favor quite soon, and My last real deck of 2023 was Charizard I really loved playing lost Kyogre and gardevoir online because of the higher skill ceiling After rotation happened, well that’s off topic now, maybe I’ll comment on the next video 😅 Thanks for covering my favorite format of the TCG and that year was one of the best in my life. Truly, like actually the golden age
@LazyLee
another great video! probably the most fun i had playing ptcg. cards were super affordable and the decks were varied and fun to play. but, every golden age has to end one day and, imo, that was when pokemon pocket was announced. not bc of pocket itself, but it sparked yet another insane ptcg product buyout that we still see to this very day like, i preordered surging sparks for around 100 dollars. nowadays, you cant find a box for less than 180, often 200-220. and that's just how it is across the board w sealed i think the game's still fun, but part of the magic's disappeared over the last 9ish months

Babe wake up, new Whimsicast video dropped
@keopi-meokgoshipeoyo
I just started taking an interest in the TCG these past couple weeks. Being so late in the game I’ve been a bit overwhelmed, but getting a recent history of the current format is incredibly helpful for getting me up to speed. I didn’t have a grasp on the scale at which cards get rotated out and new game-changing ones get brought in. Thank you!
@griffineitel
I think this was one of the most fun format i have every played it was so good and diverse
@keirnaneadie7414
Obsidian/Paradox format is when I got back in to playing the pokemon TCG after not playing since 2016. I definitely look back on that first SV block fondly for how diverse it was, and I feel similarly for our current format.
@untrustworthyshelfing9953
Great video. I went to tournaments for the first time since the year 2000 during this era.

I don't want 3 prizers to come back vro 🥀🥀
@chudiscool3710
I think pokemon tcg sucks and to improve it we should give ethan’s macargo a poketool that changes its card art to have cool sunglasses
@loni1312
an absolute banger. my brother started playing when brs came out and with SV base he loved the game. got me into it right before twm so it looks like I missed greatness by a slim margin, but so far I been having fun :)
@Strider1Wilco
Can't wait for you to cover Dragapult 😭
@SneakerTalkTCG
What a beautiful thumbnail :)
@hd0k
never got to play EFG as i joined at the tail end of FHG. so this is a format i never got to play but playing with cards in that format have been fun. even if i am playing a format that may be completly diffrent it has been insanely fun.
