In my latest unboxing video I take a look at the Pokemon XY Evolutions set, easily one of my favorite sets in recent years. Of course it probably has a lot to do with nostalgia, but still! This is a great set for both new and old players and a great way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pokemon and the end of the XY block of cards.

Unfortunately, my stream quality was cut down quite a bit. I’ll be recording a new video soon and post it up on my YouTube account for those who want a better look at the cards.

I recently received three great new Pokemon TCG items in the mail. The first, the Pikachu Battle Tin, contained a special, foil Pikachu-EX card along with some booster packs.

The second two items where Mythical Pokemon Collections, Victini and Keldeo. Each of these includes a special, foil card of their namesake, a collectable pin, and two Pokemon Generations booster packs.

Check out the video above to see me unboxing the contents of each in the Pokemon TCG Online client. I manage to pull a couple great cards out of the boosters, but the real star of this show is the cards for which each item is named for. The Pokemon Company continues to put out these collectors items that are actually worth purchasing, have a great value, and satisfy the itch to catch’em all.

Captured from my Twitch channel, here’s an unboxing of the 2016 Spring Pokemon tins. The tins: Mewtwo EX, Shiny Gyrados EX, and Machamp EX, are available in stores now. Each one contains an EX card and 4 booster packs. I actually snagged some pretty good cards here!

EDIT: It seems the audio is off-sync with the YouTube video. I’m working on getting that fixed. You can still view the broadcast version here.

Pokémon TCG Online is getting a major update that will include more than just  every card from the new Pokémon TCG: XY—BREAKthrough expansion, including powerful new Pokémon BREAK cards. You’ll also see better in-game graphics, animations, new functionality, and hear new music.

All platforms will see this update, but we haven’t gotten a solid release date yet. Only that it’s coming soon.

You can download Pokemon TCG Online and play for free. I personally love playing this way, as my kids keep all the cards we get and I steal all the digital codes to pull those cards into the online system.

OK! This was my first time trying this out, and my mic volume was WAY too low. At least you can still see the cards from each deck, and get a good look at each one as I go through them. I plan on doing some more of these in the future on my Twitch channel, and will make sure the sound is working correctly.

The real meat of the video starts around the 5 minute mark, so you may want to jump ahead to there.

EDIT: I’ve removed the Twitch player and switched the video over to YouTube because I couldn’t get the previous to stop auto-playing.
