EARLY ACCESS: How Logan Paul Ruined Pokémon

Speaking of Pokémon on the trypod episode from 5/27 he said they were gonna do an afterpod opening a few packs but I don’t see it here? :/

I'm glad you guys changed the title/thumbnail of this video, I understand it was for click bait reasons, but it was nice to not see his face or name anymore when seeing the video on my feed. I can't ever forgive him for the SF video, no matter how long it has been.

Hey Keith, thanks for the awesome nostalgia trip and congrats to finally getting the Charizard at the very end! It was a really fun and wacky video. Speaking of nostalgia, seeing the tweet reply from the TCG breaker about DDR pads reminded me how you've mentioned playing DDR in the past. I think it'd be so cool if you guys did a 4 vs 1 style format with the DDR world champion chris4life and talk about how the game hasn't been lost to time like a lot of people think :) My husband and I get so hyped whenever you mention it. Just throwing an idea! Keep up the awesome work!

I really enjoyed the video. The effects were excellent and very funny. That said, from looking at the comments here and on YouTube this seems like it was a controversial one (by Try Guy standards). To clear, I knew nothing of the Pokémon card inventory issue before this video. I think the story edit could have used clarification. If the story told is that scalpers + resellers are putting inventory pressure on stores, opening the cards you bought at the end of the video makes sense as a triumph over inventory issues. Commenting on people (incl Logan Paul) causing a run on the market and blocking lower access buyers is not as clean a story if you are also mentioning scalpers and printing delays, and then ending the video with a large quantity of cards being opened feels like a double back on the story told of YouTube card opening videos people blocking kids from the experience of opening card packs for the first time. Just my two cents ❤️ Also I am sure that this is something your content analysis team will pull out if that is in fact what is going on!

Literally, who cares about the little kids. They get cool shit all the time. Let us adults have our nostalgia and stop being a whiny little brat whose Mommy didn't get them their cards.

I’m glad you got your Charizard Keith. My favorite Pokémon is Swampert. It was a very entertaining video

Wow! I knew collecting them was hard in NZ rn but didnt know it was this bad in the USA! Super interesting 😊

Congratulations Keith!

Loved it!

This was such a rollercoaster of a video! I loved the production and how it mixes nostalgia, humor, economics, social media, etc. but really brings it back to the community. I do want to say, that really the only reason why there is a Pokemon card shortage is simply the lack of production. I'm not saying that there aren't valid reasons why production is slow (such as COVID), but this shortage is happening with numerous products (such as bicycles) with resellers exorbitantly increasing prices. It's not your fault, and as much as I loath Logan Paul, it's not entirely his fault either, that the production can't match the demand. You and he and other youtubers/influencers may increase demand, but that's not a bad thing for Pokemon, for the community to grow, and it's not something to feel guilty about: for sharing a passion/hobby of yours with the world, and buying things that make you happy. Regardless, such a fantastic video! I really hope to get more of this kind of content in the future.

Glad you found what you were looking for Keith. 👍🏼 That being said, stuff like this is why I stuck to the video games and Pokémon GO, as well as the anime. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What a great video!! You could really tell that it was a passion project. And getting to see you open the cards after listening to it on the TryPod was great! Such great animation and editing, too!! Loved it!
