Opening Pokemon's NEW 30th Celebration Set (EPIC!)

Today I'm opening Pokemon's new 30th Celebration ETB. >> What's up, guys? We are back with another opening. And I apologize that my microphone's off to the side because as soon as I was about to start this video, the microphone arm snapped and now it doesn't stand up on its own. So, we're off to a little bit of a weird start, but that's okay. This is a weird video. We're opening Pokemon and I know there's going to be a bunch. You're the Yu-Gi-Oh guy. Just chill. All right. Go watch the Pokemon. Go watch Poker Rocks. Go watch the Pokemon playlist. We got a lot of Pokemon videos out there. All right, we'll just have a little bit of fun. We got to open up 30th anniversary or celebration. I keep want to call it 30th anniversary. I get mixed up with Yu-Gi-Oh crap. So, here we go. Let's start off with this. I have one. And by the way, my camera's a little lower because of the current situation with the mic. So, I'm going to going to try to make it work. We've got two of these ETBs. And then we have a pitch black. I never got the dark cry. And what the heck? Why is this hanging or stopping my recording? I have a pitch black ETB. I never got the dark cry. and I would love to have another chance to do it. So, we're going to open that as well. So, we're going to mix that in as we go. But, let's start off with the first one. Here we go, guys. I have been on the Pokemon grind recently. I was at Pokemon Worlds. It was super fun. I was hanging out with Quick Panic. You guys know him from childhood Yu-Gi-Oh, of course, and he does Pokemon content. Uh, I've also been grinding Soul Silver. My save file is pretty awesome. I finally got Tyranitar evolved. I've got my full team. Here is like the full book of all the different cards, which if you want to know info about the cards, which I don't know a ton about this set yet cuz it just came out. I think it released two days ago, so uh it's been a couple days, but not too long. Here we go. Uh we've got some 30th anniversary. We've got some really cool sleeves. I like these. These are awesome. Then you get the promo, the knit arena. Very cool. And wa hollow energies. Those are pretty. And then you get all the stuff for playing the Pokemon TCG, which I did watch the TCG finals though for the the all the three levels. And holy, that was amazing. It was super fun. Uh I think the deck that people weren't super excited about winning did win. So sorry about that, guys. But the guy or like he was kind of he's like 20. He looked young. So congrats to that guy. And then like a four-year-old one or like he was very young. Okay, I'm opening the pitch black real quick so we can uh mix through there. There's a rude and we have the really cool dark cry sleeves. But our main focus today is celebration. This is more just for me cuz I want to open these up. So 30th celebration. Here we go. Let's see what our first pack's going to contain. I I mean, my my chase is the Lugia because it is one of my favorite. It used to be my guaranteed favorite Pokemon, but Tyranitar has been on a huge heater right now. Dino, so he might I mean, Lugia might get bumped down to uh to second, but it's kind of a tie right now. Uh Dino, if we get the uh the the crystal Lugia, that would probably change things. Oh, Lapras IR. So, very nice. Nice. And a lot they all have this uh celebration Pikachu stamp there to identify. A lot of these are reprints in some kind. So these are like the non Oh, there we go. I think you get a Pikachu in every pack. Are they all holo energies? That's pretty cool. That's really cool. I like that. Um what it like pin wheel kind of uh texture there. Got to sleeve this up. Looks like the corner may be a little messed up already, but that's okay. I mean, we're used to Yu-Gi-Oh print quality, so it's pretty bad. Uh, I meant I meant to do this the day of my stream and I just didn't I had a funeral I had to attend and it kind of threw off my schedule. So, we ended up doing this the day after, but I definitely want to open some of this uh if I can. I think it's just one from the back on Scarlet and Violet packs. Bronzong or Bronzor, sorry. Evolves into Bronzong later. Medric. There's not a lot of Johto stuff in Pitch Black, but I love the Dark Cry so much I had to I had to keep going. Oh, Dart Bell. Okay, with the trainer full art. Not too bad to start off. I'll take that. That is not shabby at all. My desk is completely unckempt right now. It is just covered in stuff. So, I'm going to try not to uh you know, I try to keep it organized. But yeah, there's just stuff going everywhere. If you guys have not followed Poker and you're like, "Wow, Ruxen does Pokemon." Because that's what everybody says. They either say, "Wow, Ruxen does Pokemon." Or, "You're a larer." Uh, but if you don't know Oh, there we go. Buzz GX. You should definitely check out Pocarx, which is Yeah, you get a Pikachu in the in this last slot besides the energy, which it looks like is always hollow. Uh, but very cool Pikachu. I look at Look at him struggling. Uh, that's cool. Buzzwell GX. So, definitely check it out that we do a lot of video game stuff such as like Nuzlocke and stuff. I'm doing a little bit more of like, you know, hunts, you know, on like IRL consoles and stuff like that that I'm I'm going to be posting some videos like that soon. That's inspired by, you know, Quick Panic and all his shiny friends. So, uh, they're all like, "Yeah, you got to do this stuff." So, I'm like, "Okay, I'm in." Manetric, we have Bombardier. Sinista, oh, great Pokemon in Champions for a while there. I was using it on my S Tyranitar team uh in the last season and Primarina. Okay, Shinja. I would have never even known about that Pokemon because, you know, I'm a gen one through three and then four and five like a little bit, you know. So, uh I've learned about that through champions. But all the different things about like there's so many ways to be in Pokemon uh like cards, you got the video games, you got shiny hunting, you've got champions, which is the new way to play VGC. It's a lot easier to get into. Oh, we got something back there. Golding. Okay. Mega Zera or EX. Not bad. I'll take that. Nice. Nice colors. I was hoping that was dark cry with those, you know, that that color over there made me hope for a second, but not quite, unfortunately. But, as I was saying, just so many ways to be involved with Pokemon, the TCG as well, like collecting, playing the TCG, uh there's just a million different ways to do it. And unfortunately, thanks to all the the negativity around like scalping and and people just, you know, trying to make a buck on on Pokemon. That's a cool rainbow logo. Wait, is that Did I just do a pack trick? Did I Was I supposed to do that? Oh, that's already been there. I just haven't noticed the rainbow logo. Okay, we have Eevee. We have Gimme Ghoul, Toxricity, Fuen Coco, Gen 9 starter, Fuy Coco. I never know how to say this guy's name. And Pikachu. Man, that the texture is really cool on that. Yeah, but as I was saying, it's there's a lot of negativity around it. So naturally, the the previous Pokemon fans, they've turned into a little gatekeepy, which I understand because a lot of people are trying to enter the hobby for uh negative like negative reasons, like to flip stuff, you know, which it just yeah, they're doing stuff to just they don't care about Pokemon, you know, whatever the reason is. Uh so I get why that's happening. Um, but unfortunately that does make it where, you know, people that are trying to join in Pokemon for the first time or whatever, they're they're getting rejected. It's like, loser, you don't even know like this Gen 8 Pokemon, you know, off the top of your head or whatever. You know what I mean? So, it is unfortunate, but uh that is kind of what's happened when it's such a popular franchise. Espeon, that's really cool. And Pikachu with the Dude, what is going on? Is that the Is that Pegasus Millennium Eye? That thing is creepy looking. But anyway, I I am having fun uh doing an opening here or there. And I mostly do video games, but I like to do openings. And I've been collecting a little bit of uh a little bit of a Johto binder. I say a little bit. I I'm trying to get at least four versions of every Johto Pokemon. Uh and I I'm starting with commons and uncommon, whatever, to fill the binder, and then I'm going to upgrade those to cooler versions. There's a rude. And so far, uh I've gotten a lot of really cool stuff. My favorite Pokemon, as I mentioned, are Tyranitar, Lar, Larvitar, Ty, you know, all that stuff. Lugia, Hound, Doom, Hound Door, I didn't mention earlier, but those I'm particularly trying to get some really cool versions. I'm adding extra versions. There's the only Johto Pokemon in this set, I believe, is Scarian. That is one of my favorites. I have already pulled that out in reverse holo. So, a different opening where we did uh Pitch Black. We have Goldine. Okay, this is always the IR I get, which actually, weirdly, I guess cuz it's a gen one Pokemon, is somewhat expense. expensive. It's like 10 bucks. A lot of these IRS are cheap, which a lot of people are like, "Pokemon's getting hyped up. Everything's so expensive." These IR cards in a lot of these recent sets are cheap. They are like $3 for like Manetric. Very cheap. So, like there are still ways. I mean, obviously opening packs is never the right way to collect something because it's always going to be super expensive. Um, but there are still some affordable cards. You just got to be a little bit more creative. Like obviously the old school stuff which I used to want and collect. I actually collected a lot of the old school Watsi stuff and stuff like that. It's just out of reach, you know, it's too expensive for most people and unfortunately it is what it is. But there's so many cool cards out there that still have not gotten expensive that you can grab. And uh if you just buy the singles, which is always the way to to uh to do it, uh then you're going to you're going to be able to get some cool stuff. This is not a great ETB from uh from Pitch Black. We've got We did get a full art trainer, I guess, but we're not I mean, I guess we just got an IR. It's not that bad. We got a EX, an IR. Yeah, that's that's actually pretty good. That is actually pretty good. This only like nine packs or whatever. There's nine packs per celebration DTB, by the way, if you didn't know, but you've probably already seen 12 openings of this. Uh Toxil Toxricity back to back and Zechron. That's pretty cool with the Pikachu. That's a cool one. All these Pikachu are cool. There's a ton of Pikachu because they had to put them in every pack. So naturally, you're just going to get Pikachu Pik, you know, a ton of different versions. They don't want you to repeat every time. Uh, not that there's going to be a ton of this open. I think this is probably all the that I'm going to open. Um, including yesterday's stream. Uh, that's it. That's all I'm going to get to open out of this set probably cuz I assume it's going to be extremely hard to get, you know, for the affformention reasons of, you know, getting the Oh, there. There we go. Scar me uh scar scalped and everything like that. So, I probably won't be getting any more of it, but that's okay. Okay, I got to open a couple booster or ATPs. Uh I don't think they come in booster boxes in these special sets. So, uh no booster box in this one, though. They will a lot of times have like bundles and all these different little things. Like 151 had the the booster pack bundle, booster kit bundles, can't remember what they were called. Uh Lugia. Ooh, that would be pretty. That's a sweet card. That's got to get pulled out for the Johto collection. And then Pikachu. I honestly have not really noticed a ton of Johto so far, but that Lugia is good. I've probably skipped over some just chatting about different topics. Let me know. I mean, a lot of you guys, if you're watching this far in, you're either both a Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon fan. You just found this as just a Pokemon fan. A lot of my Yu-Gi-Oh people are like, "Oh, Pokemon not watching, you know." So, this is purely a uh an opening for myself. It's not really going to be a crazy video, I don't think. Is it rude? Okay. Uh is that our last pitch black? Yeah. So, pitch black was fine. Nothing too crazy there, but we'll take it. We'll take the Lugia. That's awesome. I can't believe my setup exploded today, too. This is not good. I'm going to have to get a new arm for my uh for my microphone, which sucks. Seisma Toad. Hopefully, there's nothing weird going on. Zaptose, Rareram, and Dude, that's a that's a heck of a pack. Zapdos, Raram, and Pikachu. That's a banger. Last pack here, and then we have one more ETB, so we'll have a few more chances at something crazy. Uh, I think that uh so that futuristic rare according to TCG player, they were kind of leaking that that Mew thing and it looks like there there was some color change done to it, but there are two futuristic rare muses which is interesting. Switch Nintendo Switch Mewtwo and Pikachu. Pikachu. All right, that was a bad Pikachu. All right. Uh, I never looked at the back here, so I guess we can look at this real quick. Commemorate 30 years of joy with fan favorite Pokemon spanning three dazzling decades. Celebrate this Magnus Samaso with mighty presences of Mewtwo EX MUX. Followed with buy a wealth of allies like Umbreon X elements. Ooh, nice. And Greninja EX. Plus, there are 30 reasons to honor Pikachu. As each booster pack contains one with 30 unique variation, 30 unique variations of the Pikachu cards. Whether you're looking forward to a glittering future or a taking a nostalgic look at a storyried past. So, I guess that that futuristic me will be in the No, wait. No, never mind. Never mind. There are host of treasures to find and secrets to reveal in the Pokemon 30th. So then there's everything you get right there. Very cool. I was gonna say something based on that. Now I can't remember what I was gonna say. Oh yeah, this set's really cool and all that next set with the Rayquaza Rayquaza. Rayquaza I always called it Rayquaza as a kid. I think it's Rayquaza maybe. Let me know the correct pronunciation. I can't speak. Um but that set with all the Reicho and all the legendary cats as Kyle would call them. You're welcome Kyle. I'm trying to be nice to you today. That set looks absolutely incredible as a Johto fan. So, I'm excited for that. Okay, here is uh more promos. Cool. And more sleeves. Then we have nine packs of Pokemon 30th celebration. They had What was the 25th one? Wasn't it called like celebrations? This is just very confusing. But yeah, there we go. I never opened any of that, I don't think. Or maybe I opened Maybe I did one opening kind of like this. I can't remember. I did not get to open a ton if I did cuz I don't remember it. Lychan Rock, that's a cool Pokemon. Mewu and or Mewtwo and Pikachu. Okay. All right. That's cool. I understand. We're going to do a little better here. But I am very excited for that one. The It's called like Emerald something. Emerald Storm or something like that. I can't remember. Or maybe that's a Japanese name. That's Pikach Pikachu Pokemon. They'll have the Japanese version has a different name which I mean makes sense. And then it comes the English and then it has another name. So it can be a little confusing. All right. Kangaskhan zabbed a lot of gen one which makes sense. Celebrating 30th. You probably have a lot of the OGs. LET'S GO. DARK TYRANITOR. Oh my goodness. Let's go. I just noticed they have the they have the symbol from their original set. I think this is Team Rocket Returns. Dark Tyranitar. Let's freaking go. As I've mentioned many times in this video, my favorite Pokemon is now tied. I think it is eclipsing I think it's eclipsing Lugia at this rate because I'm using in champions. I'm building it up on my Soul Silver file. I am uh you know collecting the cards. I'm doing that with Lugia as well, but and I'm out of sleeves of course as soon as I pull the Tyranitar. Oh my gosh, that's got to go in the binder. Right in the tar section, which has a whole page, by the way. Yeah, gota gota respect the tar. That is my number one pull. I think I like this more than the Lugia. I'm not going to lie. The crystal Lucia. That's insane. I I have no like I can't even tell if it's hollow on the foil. It kind of Yeah, it kind of has like a texture thing to it. Trying not to be too loud cuz my my little baby's asleep over there in the other room. So, she's not really that little anymore. She's 13 months. But wow, that made that whole thing worth it. I don't care if we get nothing else. That is incredible. What a pull. Johto, favorite Pokemon. Sorry, Lugia. I think I've officially just changed. You've just you've just been surpassed. Lugia is still number two, though. I still like you. I mean, there's a,025 Pokemon. You're still in second place. That's pretty good. Ferrathorn, also one of my favorites. That's not a gen one through three. I believe this is gen four, but it could it could be five, but I'm pretty sure it's platinum and or uh Diamond of Pearl, but I could be wrong because I've only used it in like Radical Red where it's, you know, it's a ROM hack. Don't say that out loud. Uh, okay. Lapras, very cool. Moltres Gerra EX. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. I don't like the star foils or whatever they're called. Double rares or the ones with like the star foil like Yu-Gi-Oh. I don't love those too much, but it's still cool. It's Gerra. It's a legendary. Uh it's just not my favorite like texture of uh rarity or whatever. But obviously the Pokemon's really cool. Also like this kind of art style too where it's kind of like it kind of looks like a computerenerated a little bit. Not my favorite either, you know, just as a like a artwork style, you know, not nothing to do with the Pokemon of course cuz obviously everybody loves Gerra. All right, we have the Morco fake Pikachu. Number 25, we have Hakamo. I need to replay Sun and Moon. Quick Panic keeps telling me, "Dude, you got to replay them. Read the story, dude. Stop trying to skip through the cut scenes." I Okay, I'm gonna give it a shot. Let me know in the comments. Is it worth reading the story in Sun and I'll probably play Ultra Sun Ultra Moon. I'll probably do that. Let me know. Uh Meowth I have played regular Sun and Moon, but never never the Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Pikachu. All right, cool, cool, cool, cool. As I said, I'm good. I'm totally good. I am totally good. I have no sleeve yet, so don't freak out. It's by itself. It It's protected. Protected is okay. All right. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. What a pull. Uh we're at Rox and Special. We have the Toxel Hydragon. That is a black and white Pokemon. I always love this one. It evolves at like level 60s something. It's so annoying to evolve this thing. Normally it's like Dragonite 55. Such a long time. Tyrann 55. Such a long time. Some of them are 50. Oh my gosh. like slow level up group. It's going to take forever. Hydrogon like level 60, whatever it is. Might be 64. It's something insane. You're just you're stuck with the second version for 10 years and you're done with the game. You're like, "Ah, finally Hydragon's here." Ooh, that's a nice IR articuno. Very nice. And then a Mew. Got to love a Mew and a Pikachu. Good stuff. That was a great pack. Hydrogon, Mew, Articuno, Pikachu. Bangers left and right, guys. you guys are enjoying this, hit the subscribe button if you want to see more Pokemon videos from me. I have a 32 episode playlist, not including this one. It's 33 with this one. Uh where you can go watch some TCG openings. I've done some Japanese. I've done all kinds of Pokemon stuff reacting to that. Ash versus Yui battle. Uh I have a whole channel for those nuzlocks and challenge runs. So go check them out. I do love Pokemon. Obviously Yu-Gi-Oh is my number one. Don't get that twisted, but Pokemon is a close number two. Our Galarian Meowth. We have Kfi UEX. Very nice. I remember this artwork. I mean, it's a reprint from somewhere, but I don't remember exactly, but I remember this artwork. And then a Pikachu. Dude, that is a cute little Pikachu just chilling. Is that Tropical Island style? I don't remember Pikachu being in Tropical Island, though. Tropical Island, man. I can't speak. Tropical Island has some of the best artwork. I was originally before I went to the Johto binder gonna do I I don't know what they call like a living decks kind of uh binder where you get one version of each Pokemon for,025 and tropical islands was just hitting every like I was getting that almost every time it was available. I was like yeah that's my favorite artwork. Got to grab that. I was basing it purely off artwork not off price. But then I realized that my binder of everything I picked was worth like it was only like the first two gens and it was like 30k to get everything in near mid. I was like maybe not. Maybe we'll do something else. That's why I switched over to the Johto thing. And also, I just like Johotto the most out of all the things. So, it was easy to choose. There's a Johto card. Iggly Buff Kamoo. Very nice. Lugia again. Awesome. And Pikachu. I can't do the Pikachu. I got to stop. That's cringe. All right. Hey, we're opening Pokemon, though. We got to just go for it. I'm already happy, dude. I got Tyranitar. Like, I literally cannot. There's nothing else. I mean, if I get Crystal Lugy, I'll be very happy. But I don't need anything else. I'm good. And also, my camera's been crooked for forever. So, sorry about that. I'm telling you, I'm I'm doing a crazy setup here. Everything's balanced. All right, Nintendo or Nintendo. Nintendo Ninetails. What am I saying? I've been playing too much DS. That's the problem. By the way, the 3DS, I just used my first one. Shout out Stick Tendo for selling me his cooks. Love that. I never had one. I had 2DS because it was cheaper. It was a quarter of the price. I'm like, I can't afford the 3DS. I was able to get one recently. Awesome. Love it. So, uh Oh, Fuoko Ex. Did I say it right that time? Uh, wait, is that an SIR? I thought that was an IR at first. Wait, IR is still awesome, but there's a Pikachu. That is an SIR Fuco generation 9 scholar and violet starter. The fire starter. Unbelievable. Wow. This is incredible. This is incredible. What an opening. What an opening. Now, this is not a Johto Pokemon, obviously. We got a Villion. What else is in here? We got the Pikachu back there and like a balloon or something. There other Pokemon. We got Snorlax. We got I can't see what that is. What is that? Is that the like M? It starts with an M, I think. I don't know the name of that one off the top of my head, but that is some really cool artwork. There's Iggly Buff hiding right there in the And I love the I love the SRS and the IRS. They have such creative artwork. That's That's awesome. We're doing way This is one of my best Pokemon openings ever. And I'm just factor I don't even know the tar could be four bucks, but I'm factoring in it's like a $500 hit just cuz I love it so much. Okay, it is one of like the retro cards though and that's like the only one we've gotten, so I assume it's somewhat hard to get. This is the last pack, guys.
