Why, Oh Why!?

Hi there guys! So I guess you're probably wondering what on earth I'm talking about, why there is no pokémon card here, and WHY there is no review! Oh WHY!?

Well, I'll tell you all that :)

Today I figured I'd do something a little different, I would like to write a bit about something I've stumbled upon in my search for pokémon videos and stuff on YouTube. A couple of times I've come across people who would rather buy their pokémon cards individually in order to get a full set, instead of trying to collect them all from booster boxes and packs, where it's all random. 

I REALLY don't get the idea here!

Why would you want to do that?? Maybe I'm the weird one here, but to me, everything lies in the surprise of pulling a card you really wanted from a booster pack. THAT is what makes it worth collecting, in my opinion. I have not yet bought a single card by itself. All the cards I have, are cards that have been given to me as a gift, or I have pulled out of lots and lots of booster packs through the years.

I saw this guy, talking about how he had bought himself 3 Charizard EX, and by the end of that year, he expected to have 10 of them.
He never pulled one from a booster pack, he bought them off eBay and stores that sell them. I can't see anything interesting in that. By all means, if you only think about quantity, but not quality, be my guest. If you only wish to have the most Charizard EX cards on YouTube and don't care how you're going to get them, then who am I to say that's wrong?
I just can't see why you would do it. I don't watch him and think "Wauw, that's REALLY well done, congratulations man!" - Because as long as you have enough money, you can get any card you want! It's not about luck anymore, it's about how much you earn, and I don't like pokémon to be like that..
On that note, I have only ONE Charizard EX, but damn it I pulled it out of a FireRed LeafGreen pack myself, and THAT'S something I'm proud of!

It has to go really far, before I would even consider buying a single card anywhere. In one of the first sets of pokémon, I only need 1 single card to complete my collection, ONE card.. and I haven't bought it yet, and I don't intend to. I believe that I will pull it from a booster pack some day in the future, I just don't know when.

So when people show their awesome collections on YouTube, but they bought half of it or all of it off eBay, I don't even want to spend my time watching the video, because I just don't have the same kind of respect for those people, than I do for people who really try to get complete collections from saving up and buying booster packs and boxes.

Some may find this offensive, because they are exactly like the people I describe, and that's okay. I cannot, and will not satisfy everybody, and this is my blog and therefore my opinions :) (SO SUCK IT... :D heh)

I hope you enjoyed reading this different post, please comment if you have a different opinion, something to add, or even if you just agree. I'd love to know :)

Thanks for now!
