Did Pokemon Really Mess up THIS Bad? Pick-A-Pack For Science
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- If you’re thinking of buying Modern Pokémon cards, beware! Pokémon messed up with their new set, Fusion Strike. In this video, I open up 3 booster boxes and we’ll play a little “Pick-A-Pack” to speed up the opening and see what we pull, but we’ll also find out exactly what went wrong, and what to look out for.

Weights aside, opening 12 packs all at once like that look super cool!
Thanks!
This is the way! 2 boxes in under 10 min and a point I can pause at to see just rare pulls.
I can pick winners out just by feeling the weight with my hand. ..Crazy
I always picked gengar pack and nearly always got something ....i mean i always got hollow until The yellow sticker ....byť purple sticker Gengar chef kiss
Would have to agree and the music to go along well done! Very pleasing to watch!
This is peak content, don't normally like videos but this one really deserved it. From the background scores to the crisp editing. Well done mate 👍🏻
Thanks Kenn 🤟🏼
Never understood this mentality of “not liking” videos… how hard is it to click one little button at the bottom of the video? I probably Like 10+ videos a day… some people just use RUclips differently I guess
@@MattII33 I like keeping my algorithm on its toes.
@@MattII33 You do realize that life is not just black and white but an infinite variety of shades between the two? I too only put likes on videos that I actually liked (how surprising!), just like I don't put dislikes on videos that didn't catch my interest or left me indifferent.
@@bstnlcge2662 Really? I just like throwing everything off because my single like or dislike is what decides the fate of the world. For videos deservant of a like - I dislike, and vice versa. Everything's falling into place and soon the world will know my true wrath. Putting great content at the bottom of the list or banishing it to the shadow realm indefinitely. But this - this video is on a whole other level of epic content so I will break my norm. Like.
I like your outside the box video ideas. This, the sun damage, the shaker for graded cards. Keeping things interesting.
Thank you so much for the shout out Pat!
Fantastic way to do this experiment, caution people about what’s going on, and keep it really entertaining!
love your content man, you and Pat along with a few others help big time in the community.
The way you unboxed is so much better then doing each one at a time
Maybe this is like Pokémon’s 25th anniversary way of giving a throw back to baseset by making it weigh able lol
🤣
JAIL 😭
I have some more experimental data to add to the discussion. I tried this on a booster box and indeed had a weight correlation but not the same one you had. For me all my hits were between 22.34 and 22.45. Anything either lighter or heavier than that range was a non hit.
This video was INSANE. From the amazing editing to the pretty much perfect pull of each cards for 72 window slots was extremely aesthetically pleasing. As well as that information in the form of a scientific video was entertaining as well and 100% should get more attention.
Aye thank you so much!!
Watched DrApplesauce aswell. This hurts alot Pokémon, especially when you already have scalping local shops. Thank you gentlemen for all the great information.
Thank you Maddy!
You know weighing packs has been possible since 1996 Japanese base set ?
@@Gs-kg6ce the tricky part is, the heavier pack nowadays is the dud one. Why? Because when Pokemon wanted to add more weight to the green code card to balance it with the white-green code card (good packs that contain good cards) they did a bit too much and the pack with green code cards became heavier.
And probably Pokemon changed things up again since Fusion Strike has different code card. Still messed up, tho.
Glad you were able to shed some light on the set being weightable. Spread the knowledge!! Also thank you for the shoutout!
Sagar!...
I have been meaning to message you about this. I have a little bit more info on this. I've opened 6 booster boxes. 5 from a lgs and 1 from a pre-order. The 5 I opened from the lgs were all weighable and predictable, but the one on pre-order that was delayed wasn't weighable. So it makes me believe that when they switched the factory that use to focus on premium boxes to help out with mass producing bolster boxes that they aren't following the same algorithm that they are suppose to. So the distributor thst got their boxes first, which factory did it come from? And the one that was delayed because the distributor didn't get theirs in on time, which factory did thst come from? My theory is it's the factory that it was made in. I went 5/6 boxes weighable 100% 22.22-22.58 but my 6th box was 22.22-22.36 on all packs.
Great additions to the discussion, thank you Alex!
I just stumbled upon this video and this is a very fun game to play, and it somewhat replicates that same feeling of, 'did I pick the good pack' part of what we love about Pokemon Card collecting. You should totally do another video like this!
Awesome video! I love how you cut through the speculation and guessing and just structure a dang-darn experiment! This really fuels my passion for collecting in general, great stuff!
So could you technically weigh an entire booster box to find the lightest one?
Yes you could
Haha pokemon was like "vintage was heavy hits 🤔 and modern SHALL BE, light lol " the old reverse psychology trick
EPIC! I PICKED THE PACK WITH THE FULL ART TRAINER
All of my Picks were Hits
I might be lucky, everytime I go out and choose individual packs I always get a hit
( and I don't weigh them )
But when I opened a pikachu and Zekrom and a Reshiram and Charizard Premium Set ( 20 total packs ) I got nothing besides 3 V'S LOL )
I guess a V is a hit but A VMAX is What I usually get
Great information... We always wondered about weighing packs, so now we know. We would also caution on buying booster boxes too unless you get them from your LGS. Otherwise you run the risk of getting a resealed box with pristine packs and 0 hits.
Multiple weighted codes cards placed randomly should fix this up 👍🏻
I bought evo skies loose packs and they were searched by a small cut on the bottom face of the pack that when a light was shined through you could see either a green or white code card. It was actually featured in one of my first videos.
Just watched your video, that is terrible that people are doing this now.
They say the pull rates are as horrible as hitting the lottery! Better chance at the power ball fellas lol nah but I’m waiting on some packs in the mail and I’ll see for my self . Let’s go Pat
1. I got Gengar Vmax
2. I got tryanitar V
3. I got Lucario V
1. I got RillaBoom Vmax
2. I got Cinderace V
3. Mew V
I noticed almost immediately when I opened my first FS pack... The white code card is almost as thin as paper, and bends just from touching it. The black cards however are much more premium.
Thanks for the info!
And again I love your videos and how entertaining they are. It was so funny to see 12 packs being open at the same time!
Same cards pulled: 2:08
Same cards pulled: 3:02
Same cards pulled: 3:41
Same cards pulled: 4:24
And choose pink since at end pink was the one with the lightest I think and the best cards
Thank you for dropping by PokeBaller Mike's stream, love your videos!
Real Breaking Nate pulled a Chilling Reign Vmax card out of an Evolving skies pack...Pokemon Quality Assurance is trash. So I can see them screwing up the code card mix but like you proved it doesnt matter.
Not me running to the kitchen to grab my food scale.
Pretty much knew from the title these were WEIGHABLE PACKS!
That's why I've just decided to buy singles from now on. With pull rates going down since chilling reign and now the whole weighed packs ordeal it just makes sense to buy the cards I want instead of gambling. Might buy sealed products just as a display piece
weighted packs only really affects people who buy loose packs from ebay or facebook, if you buy and open sealed stuff you should be fine
But weighed products still doesn't affect the pull rates. It's just much cheaper to buy singles and get exactly what I want
@@bruce0816 it does cause youll get less heavy packs from sellers and because of that, get less hits.
Singles will always be better though because its cheaper. The one time i beat a single was with two VV and i pulled rainbow pikachu.
bro the timing with the sound of the cards and the music is awesome XD great idea
There's something very satisfying about the reveal timing.
The editing is super unique and so visually cool.
Thanks for bringing this to the communities attention. It's unfortunate that this is possible because there are people in this world who will buy a booster box and keep all the hits then sell the rest of their loose packs without hits on the secondary market. Good luck on your pulls everyone!
0:50 I picked the 2nd one in the front
1:37 9th from bottom
2:13 picked 7th from top
The solution seems to be have 6 or more different variable weight code cards put in at random. This will make weighting possible but very few packs could be guaranteed heavy or light. This would also prevent the annoying problem of knowing you got a hit based on color.
Great video thank you for the update saved me, from most likely getting scammed online
its so satisfying when all the cards were smacked down
Mad respect like my man spent almost 150 dollars if it’s in like normal price in stores
Fusion Strike has been killing me. I've opened almost 200 non booster box packs and got 1 full art trainer, 1 gold card and 1 rainbow mew. I opened a booster box and got only 5 v cards and the rest of the hits were holos
Buy singles.
When you said pick a color I knew where this was going. I also picked pink lol
When the packs were opened was so therapeutic
Yes PAT THE POKÉMON SCIENCE TEACHER!!!
this is what I was looking forward the weekend 👍 thumbs up
love how this swoosh sound is in sync with the card pulls :D so satisfying
1st pack I went for the middle right and "hit" but would have loved to get some of the basic adorabubble ones like Morepeko from the packs to the left of it.
2nd pack I chose the lower left most and still got a "hit" but the pack to the right corner of it had more adorable cards again 🤣
3rd pack I went with the position as my first pick (middle right) & had no "hits" nor any cute ones
Was so fun to play along and see all the cards available! & definitely good info to spread around
I like how you synced with the beat!
ok now I gotta hunt for the lightest. Such a shame I can't bring a portable scale into a random store
killer foley and musical touch bro
3 boxes opened in less than 10 minutes, that's a world record!
Knowledge sharing, video editing, and sound effects all on point! Thanks DPM!
Thanks Rani!
I noticed at many of the stores, a handful of the packs are still there and all of them are heavy. Scalpers only went after the light packs.
Make the black code cards slightly heavier, by maybe about 0.1 grams.
How do U just happen to notice the packs in the store are all heavy?
@@intergalacticdegengypsy6135 My sensitivity to touch allows me to figure out the slightest difference. When I was younger, I got a hit every time from the heavy packs. I tested this, and managed to pull a Mew half art from a pack. Hand weighing works. I felt the packs from the store, and they were all heavy.
Sensitive touch does have its flaws though. Some textures drive me crazy. I’ve even thrown up when I cannot stand the feel of certain foods.
I think it is interesting that the pink cards were all pulls, when going through it i thought he might have weighed them before choosing a color for the packs.
Not going to lie this was really entertaining to watch. Been watching following for a while and have seen how much you have grown and improved your video content so much!
The same order of the cards is what I've noticed at first glance but I would have never guessed the new code cards made it even worse. I wish they would try to use the insert cards to their advantage and make the packs weigh the same weight. Or very similar weight. That would help battle the reselling of dud packs epidemic.
The pink sticker packs got all the hits
Wow if these were my packs I'd finally land something what wasn't a Holo rare.... Elesa's Sparkle!!! It'd make up for the 20+ holo rares we've gotten and NO V's or above.... Insane. Nice research on the weights!
You had one job pokemon, It hard watching pokemon taking a step back when they have been doing very well lately. I love this set but because of the inconsistance pulls from boxes plus being able to weigh packs it's not gonna do to well. Awesome video Pat, so well done.
They dont just have one job tho
Imagine going into a store with a weigh machine just to check the weight of pokemon card packs
This is actually a pretty unique video I like it man.
time to bring my scale to the card shop from now on :D oh how much money i will save on this XD
Am I the only one who found this really satisfying?
This was a really informational video, on top of a great new way to go through a box!
Did you sync up your card pulling by listening to music as you did it, or do some light timing adjustments in editing afterward?
Listening to a metronome on RUclips that was literally an hour long of just ticking lol.
@@deeppocketmonster glad you made it through all that. Great video!
This does not apply to all packs and boxes, though! There are various printing facilities producing Pokemon cards and seems like one of the new ones uses somewhat lighter card stock. I opened up a box yesterday, tried wrighing some packs and it was impossible to determine hit packs.
interesting
Wow! Mind. Blown. 🤯 I have 2 packs on the way to me this week, maybe I'll take them to a post office and weigh them before I open. Hmmm 💭🤔
I noticed for Brilliant Stars the packs with black code cards are guaranteed 2 hits (holo, reverse, v, or better) and the white code cards only have 1 hit. Don't know what Pokémon company is up to but they just need to stick to one color code card lol
Ive seen multiple people mention that possibly TPCi accidentally swapped the code cards but that doesnt make sense. As we all know, a holo is heavier than a non holo. So if the code cards were switched then waying would be even more obvious. The weight range would go from 22.25-22.6 to 22.15-22.7
Congratulations on 90 k! Keep up the great work Pat!
I stood with the dogs, it didn't disappoint
I already knew what the title was about so I was worried when you started out the video not even related to it but you soon got to the issue which excited me.
Although what I liked even more about the video was how many pack openings you crammed in, you just went in and opened the boxes showing 12 packs at once rather than one at a time and glamorizing over each pull. Managing to get through what? 12 ETBs worth of packs in a 10 minute video. You even said that the pulls wasn't your intention in the end. So kudos to you on that front
Wait the moral of the video was "be careful buying online"?
Dude this has been the case for every single product for years now. It's common knowledge to avoid buying online anywhere. Even the literal official nintendo pokemon center website orders are being resealed.
Wow this is super high quality. Really enjoyed the editing on this!
i dislike this set so much, i opened up 3 etb’s and only got 2 v cards, this just adds to it:( very unfortunate bc the hits are awesome
What about when they’re sleeved? Any tips for weighing those?
I hope it gets sorted out by next set (due to the code card changes, for the new app), but I am worried it's too late
Fusion Lies, hopefully they fixed this. I was aware of this back in the day but now, sheesh. Thanks for sharing
Luckily I already pulled my chase card from this set, so I don’t really have a reason to open more. I just hope they fix this when Brilliant Stars comes out.
All my packs were hits 😭😭😭 this was a fun game and actually crazy to see.
This video must have taken some Deep Patience editing. Love how much effort you put into your content!
Does anyone edit their own content on RUclips?
@@barryboner1332 people who are starting out lol, I'm still editing my own content
You are so lucky on booster boxes
Me: I’m not going to participate in this experimental video I’m just going to watch.
Also me: TOP LEFT AND PINK
Entertaining video, good for you coming up with a creative idea.
its cool to know how to see which ones are bangers but ngl it cracks me up thinking imma carry a weighting device whenever i visit the store to get pkm packs
I feel like more people are gonna bring scales to walmart
Lucky, getting Cinderace V and it’s gigantamax…I still need those to complete my evolution chain
Unfortunate that they’re weighable 😔 but good to know that they switched the code cards, so at least for this set, it’s opposite to what it used to be. Great video 👏👏👏
Loved this. Every youtuber/card opener take notes.
This was really fun to watch !
DeepPocketMonster is definitely top 5 youtubers!
From comparing the new and old code cards, it seems like they're just not using as thick of card stock for the white bordered as they did with the green code cards. So either they screwed up and used the wrong card stock for dud packs or they didn't put consideration into pack weighing with the change. Simple fix for the future if they care about fixing it.
Super cool take on pack openings. Now if I could only have the same luck in my packs I pick off the shelves as I did picking the ones here 😂
Very nicely formatted on top of a great idea. Super fun to watch!
Can we talk about how he synced it to the music at 01:20? 😂
This was actually way better than the way other people open packs one at a time
First box I actually got all hits haha so thats cool nice video
I liked the beginning of pick a pack that was super fun to do
3:30 did you see those two packs get the same cards 4 times in a row
i randomly guessed then got the right ones lol
Its gonna take alot of packs, but if you can make a 10 minute video opening multiple packs like that, you'd get mad views.
With the way this set is it wouldn't hurt to open packs like this, there are way too many non holo rares
Can you do more of these I love them I would appreciate it if you did another one keep up the great work!
I actually didn't know that!!! Thanks!
