In today’s episode, Ezra and Chelsea try to break down the insane rise of the scalpers and influencer culture on the world of Pokémon and the Pokémon franchise. They talk about how it has impacted the TCG, the decline in quality of video games, and the rise in “luxury” Pokémon products no longer geared toward who should be their target audience - the 10-year-olds just starting on their own Pokémon journey.
