Now i want like a pokemon/baseball trading card thing but with US Presidents
dont forget, james cheated with the japanese here so technically he also failed that!!
@@qqwui9989i mean that would only be like 45 cards total
Millard Fillmore doesn't say his name every time you look at him.
33 minutes of australian tech wizard opening pokémon cards make a great european lunch break
What's for lunch, for you?
In somewhere in Europe??
Love from,
An Australian
I'm also very interested in what you have for lunch in Europe.
Love from, and American
I hope your lunch was good
love from a brit
I had pasta and pokémon cards.
Love from, an Italian
@@dr.acula124 "Is pasta an instrument?"( Replace pasta with mayonnaise for SpongeBob reference)
The more i watch James the more i realise that he is really just a calm wade. Thats more handy
And with a cat instead of snakes, a family, and less musically inclined 😅
i felt the "in my day, reverse holos meant you had fakes" right in my core
In your reverse holo apple core?
"We have Maxmoefoepokemon at home"
I'll take it. Brother hasn't uploaded in nine months. Great video
Still waiting on those japan vlogs
He's taking over the aussie yelling a children's cardboard
As long as James won't say "one two three to the front getting rid of the energy", he ain't replacing Max. Say it, James!
He's busy drinking cold ones with his mates
"Hey guys new video every 2 days"
James calling pidgey spearow every time without correction has been a treat.
"Unboxing videos aren't fun at all, except this one."
-Me
It’s humidity and differences in surface tension between the cardboard and foil layers that causing the bending.
You could keep them in air-tight containment but honestly it’s not worth the trouble. The only people who really care are investors and speculators and honestly, fuck ‘em.
Surface tension is a property of liquids, not solids. James' guess that it's differential thermal expansion is probably closer.
I'm Gen-X, and therefore, know absolutely nothing about Pokémon but I'll happily watch a millennial tear some packs.
Uhh there is pika chu
and the other ones (>900 more)
you're good to go now
@@xenotiic8356wtf is this bot saying lol
What are you even doing on this channel, grandpa?? 😂
@@AB0BA_69 I mean they have NES and Atari from their childhood here
2:20 That's Ceruledge and Armarouge, they were introduced in the latest Pokémon games Scarlet and Violet.
Sure, okay!
I haven't bought pokémon cards since gen 1, but I bought these boosters as a spur of the moment thing and I REALLY like the art on these cards. I gave away all of my old pokémon cards at some point, and I regret that now, but this felt like a good way to get back at having a collection again, and since I bought the Japanese ones it feels like it's a bit more "fresh" and different from anything I had before.
“Reverse holo Apple core, bet you can’t beat that card” James coming in with the applin and dipplin respect without realizing
James I'm sorry to say you've discovered the joys foil trading cards. Leave them outside in any sort of weather that's too hot or too cold (like Adelaide atm) and you'll end up with pringles. Some foils are better than others but Colgate foils like Pokemon tend to be pretty bad.
To answer some questions
EX is pronounced as the individual letters, not as a word. Eee-Ex.
While some Pokemon have been re-typed in the games, mostly a bunch of normal types gaining the fairy typing tcg typing is... weird and different. The reason the poison type pokemon that are dark type in this set is likely down to the team simply believing that it suits Poison type better than the Psychic type.
First Editions no longer exist.
A number higher than the set number just indicates some sort of higher rarity. I don't play enough Pokemon TCG to have it memorised so I can't be more help. But basically if it has a higher set number or multiple stars it's a rarer card. That does not mean it holds more value however.

The Mr Squiggle reference didn't go unnoticed - showing ya age James :P
Hahaha excellent!
Pretty spot on with the curving! Humidity differences between the factory and your location, the cardboard expands as it absorbs water in the air but the plastic foiling does so it warps them. Putting them in the binder will help but the only "proper" way to fix it is with desiccant packs to change the humidity and then double sleeving them to keep ambient humidity out
Seeing all those foils Pringle at the end broke my heart! You were on the right track, though, it's a moisture problem between the foil printing and the card stock. There are ways to fix it!! The best way is with moisture regulation packs for cigars, weird as hell solution, but it does work! You'll want to aim for 62% moisture level, whatever the proper term is. I'm a Magic player and while I've experienced the curling before, I've yet to try the cigar pack solution. I hope you can get them all fixed up, James!!
18:13 are we gonna ignore that one being a master ball variant?
Yes
Master Ball PurpleShirtamon
This was way more fun than it had any right to be
Dankpods version opens random pokemon cards from cashies James gets some fancy retro pokemon packs from Japan
You know someone is Australian when they even put sleeves upside down.
I like it so the opening is at the bottom of the folder sleeve, the side entry folder I’m using makes that pointless though
Ol' mate James at BUTTCRACK O'CLOCK on the American West Coast? Yes, I do.
11 longer than the regular videos? That's new..
Cool to see you geek-out about your hobby👍
Purple-shirt-a-mon is my favorite Pokémon also.
wow maxmoefoepokemon really has put himself together
i missed ya mate,thanks for uploading.
This nostalgia bomb made me so happy ❤ didn't know James opening booster packs was something I needed in my life
to explain the dark types: in tcg there are 10 types; colorless (normal, flying), fire, grass (grass, bug), water (water, ice), electric, fighting (fighting, rock, ground), dark (dark, poison), metal (steel), psychic (psychic, ghost, fairy), and dragon. they did experiment with adding fairy type to tcg separately in x and y, but ultimately it proved cheaper/easier/better in some way to combine it with psychic. in previous generations up to (i think) sword and shield, poison was represented by the psychic type, which is why it seemed odd so many previously tcg psychic type pokemon had swapped to tcg dark type
27:03 'The Big Three' is also used in Competative RBY to describe Tauros, Snorlax and Chansey, the three normal types who are pretty much required in the most popular played tier, OU
I usually dont like watching Pokemon card unboxing vids, but it's James. I'll give it a pass. James is cool.
I have never played a single Pokémon game nor engaged in any of the expanded media, why did I watch this
It's all about finding the shiny things, whether you like pokemon or not.
Yes! James channel is back! I hope you had a great trip
Hope you do more of these, this was a great first opening and we need someone to pick up the openings where Max left off, helps that you're Aussie too lol
James completely missing that the reverse holo Bill was the master ball is killing me lmao
As a pokemon fan as long as i can remember this set is amazing. Sadly still havent gotten that holo charizard thats worth as much as a whole car.
I pulled mine from a booster back in the day! I jumped in the air and yelled.
"I played Pokemon Shield as well I-it's-jeaaa-itwas-itwaslalright"
Honestly as an avid Shield defender I'm glad you gave it a chance. I thought was pretty fun honestly
I need to revisit gen 1 and 2 to see if they’re as much better as I think they are lol
@@Games_for_Jamesthey are
@@Games_for_Jamesyou don’t even need to go that far back. Black & White 1&2 were the last good games for the older audience. X&Y weren’t bad, mainly cause the story was fantastic. Everything after Sun is too dumbed down for the older audience.
@@CorvusCorvidayScarlet and Violet are good pokemon games too, they just run really poorly.
@@ToastyMozart I genuinely did try Scarlet, but it feels like, to me, after Sun&Moon came out (and i played both versions of Sun) every game after is way too handholdy.
You’re energy just makes me so happy lol
That was a nice nostalgic video.
been out of the loop from the pokemon tcg for years, and recent pokemon games
but this is just nostalgic
love the first generations
The Gengar in this set is so cool, man. The crayon colouring is sick
James and Dank share a lot of the same mannerisms. That Zapdos ex was such a good pull!
He missed the Master Ball Purple Shirt-e-mon card
Nothing beats him referring to Pidgey as Spearow every time
Yay you're back!
Can't believe I watched an entire video of you opening Pokemon cards JUST for the cat at the end.
James would be the type of person to sleeve a card from the top.
Love hearing the word "burninate" in the wild lmaoo
Trogdor as an Aerodactyl was not expected, but very welcome.
James is adorable when he gets exited:3
close enough, welcome back maxmoefoepokemon
Cool video, man!
11:55 "Meowth... that's right" hehe
I just got into pokemon cards. Got a few boosters. And heres James doing an opening...
I get the insomniac American bonus of watching a James video when it comes out
This is more Pokemon content than the entirety on MaxMoePokemon's channel this year combined
You know… I kinda missed James during the 5 months he was gone. But now that I have a 33 minute video of him rambling and getting most of the Pokémon names wrong, I feel like all is right with the world
im not interested in any of this, but james is james so im watching.
He reminds me of me with MtG in '93-'94. The excitement opening shit up is real.
"Mew is Mew."
Deep, man. Who knew James was a philosopher, too?
Trading cards are the OG microtransactions.
it's gacha or gambling, but for kids!
The collector is back!
The goat has returned
Jame is the kind of guy to say "Yea" When meeting mewtwo
0:09 what? It’s that a mini Wade besides the mini James? I’m wonder if at that age was a walkaman modder too
The Maxmoefoe we didn't know we needed
I need that sleeping Bulbasaur.
I wondered why energy is pronounced that way in Japanese too. Apparently it's a loanword of the German word "Energie", not English "energy", and it's pronounced with a hard G.
A James channel/ dankpods booster box opening crossover needs to happen!
Impressive collection of Ancient Mews from the first Pokemon Movie. I remember frantically trying to get my Dad to take me, my brother, along with my cousin to watch the movie just to get that card when I was a kid.
Pretty sure the card was the main reason I wanted to go too lol
Man I wish I could have those bulbsaur line full art. My favorite of the starters
I was so worried we weren't gonna see my boy Charizard.
Hey i found your channel from dankpods. Your alot like him and i love it
Was that a little Wade cameo with the drumming over the time lapse?
We need part 2, another 80 packs opening.
man goaded set, such nioce art and some really fun playable cards too. love ya sonny
full art cards are beautiful
that happens to the cards when they get heat, folders or something super tight (like a binder) can help (cards bending, just had to clarify)
Not heat, humidity
@@thomasphillips885 fair yeah mb
Im addicted to watching people opening Pokemon cards lmao! are you going to ever upload videos on floatplane bro?
Gotta catch 'em all!
Yay he's back
I thought max uploaded again when I saw this
idea: Supercut of all plastic sleevings
This really scratched the itch I have always had for opening pokemon cards.
Man, Purpleshirtamon was always my favorite
I guess that Gen 1 pokemon go set brought in enough money for nintendo to warrant a dedicated release.
Ah yes, JamesJoeFoe
Not what i expected, but...
James Channel!
ninetales is my favorite, if i had that shiny card as a child i would have lost my mind
Yayyy he's back
Tangela does evolve; its evolution is called Tangrowth, but it wasn't introduced until Gen IV (not counting the unused prevo and evo for Tangela in the Gold/Silver beta that got leaked a few years ago).
29:40
As someone who caught the last Master Ball card, I'm sorry for not telling you James.
What’s one thing you’d like to see in the next video?
I have first edition pokemon japanese card packs brand new, unfortnuately the gym challenge 2 and fossil pack. I don't wanna open them because they're from the 90s, and I also found them inside my mum's old handbag.
Id love to see this video edited into the pokèrap
To explain the TCG rarity system form Scarlet & Violet onwards (this set is technically a SV set),
Common (Circle or C) cards are the most common type of cards, often unremarkable basics
Uncommon (Rhombus or U) cards are the second most common cards and tend to be evolution pokemon or more powerful than most commons
Rare (Black Star (White star on Darkness Types) or R) are Rarer than the previous 2 but still are not hard to find
Double Rare (2 Black Stars or RR) are the rating containing ex cards and are where cards start becoming somewhat scarce/expensive
Ultra Rare (2 White Stars or SR, Also known as Full Arts) are even rarer than Double rares and include a full image of the pokemon and also contain versions of trainer cards (mainly supporters)
Illustration/Art Rare (Gold Star or AR) Cards with alternate versions of the card art covering the full image can be differentiated fro SAR cards by their status as not an ex
Special Illustration/Special Art Rare (2 Gold Stars or SAR) cards are the same concept as AR cards but with ex pokemon. these are some of the rarest cards and also contains versions of trainer cards
Ace Spec Rare (Magenta Star or ACE, from the Temporal Forces set onwards*) cards are quite rare and in the game are limited to 1 in a deck. the also have a magenta background and some blue text and borders
Gold Rare (3 Gold Stars or UR) are cards that have a gold appearance and are quite rare
There are way more rarities that exist, even form the SwSh era (Radiant Rare, Rainbow Rare etc.) so just search for guides to the rarities for more info.
*there were Ace Spec cards form the Black & White era, but that doesn't matter that much
I missed watching pokemon card opening videos 😭😭
Maxmoefoe Pokemon is gonna have some competition
cheered me up after a rough day to see you finally post!
Something I prepared earlier
1. **Common (C)**: A black circle.
2. **Uncommon (U)**: A black diamond.
3. **Rare (R)**: A black star.
4. **Double Rare (RR)**: Two black stars.
5. **Triple Rare (RRR)**: Three black stars.
6. **Promo (P)**: A black star with "P" next to it, indicating promotional cards.
7. **Art Rare (AR)**: Unique full-art illustrations.
8. **Special Art Rare (SAR)**: Even more elaborate full-art illustrations.
9. **Secret Rare (SR)**: A star with "SR" next to it.
