    The $50 Pokemon Start Deck 100 Scam (It Costs $5) - Pokeca Talk Ep. 6

    Pokeca Talk - REAL TALK about the Pokemon Card Game, collecting, art & everything in between. First up, we are handing out the "Fell For It" Award to everyone buying into the absolute insanity of the new MEGA Start Deck 100 Battle Collection. Is it a scam? We break down why paying $50+ for a $5 bulk deck is the ultimate "L" and why patience (and buying singles) is your wallet’s best friend. Then, we dive deep into the "Slop Machine" of social media. We’re tired of the "Blue Checkmark" engagement bait and influencers posting just to see numbers go up. We ask the hard question: Where is the passion? In this episode, we discuss: The Mega Start Deck 100: Why you should avoid the hype and wait for singles. The Influencer "Echo Chamber": The difference between genuine collecting vs. just "growing an account." Buying Advice: How to time your purchases and why FOMO is the enemy. Authentic Collecting: Keeping it real in a hobby full of noise. If you love Pokémon TCG collecting, art, and REAL TALK with no sugarcoating, this one’s for you. #pokemontcg #Pokecatalk #StartDeck100
