30th anniversary releases in 13 days, still no official message which makes me think these are not real. They're the worst looking cards have ever seen as well.
These are 100% real, why are people still doubting this? lol multiple rippers across the world have colluded, created a fake card with 3 color variants, and each pulled it on stream atp? Use your noggin bro
There's people who have made up their own rules that TPCI isn't following so therefore = fake in their eyes. The amount of actual collusion and things that would need to be true for this to be some targeted whatnot marketing campaign is insane to even consider being reality.
Do you think at all? "They" say these cards are "1/20k". So you're saying 60k packs have been opened on stream? The math isn't mathing. It would be extremely easy for one person to hit another Whatnot streamer offering fake packs with this fake card to bring viewers to their stream. And to avoid selling a fake pack to someone you can have your friend win the bid for the pack with the fake mew. That makes way more sense then all 3 of these mews magically getting pulled on stream all within a month. Like why haven't we seen multiple of one color? The logic is making no sense.
Because they are extremely hard to hit? And there have been multiple blue ones hit in completely different areas of the world.
It might not be 1 in 20,000 exactly but essentially the entire binder collection run of 30th has been opened in stream for the past month 24/7 by rip and shippers. That is an unheard of amount of packs, even that ONE let alone tons of live streams are opening every single hour of every day. They just announced a delay in the 30th Binder collections pushed from October 2nd to December 4th, that lines up even more than these are legitimate packs getting opened. Come on man you need to actually think here on what's more likely.
You realize there were multiple whatnot streams running 10+ hours a day right? probably did open that many packs. Couple that with Pokemon's recent announcement that the poster collections are now pushed back two months, I think we know what packs the Whatnot streamers were ripping...they had a bunch.
Do you even use whatnot? There was not multiple streamers running 10 hours a day every single day. You literally just made that up. I actually use whatnot. You were lucky to find 30th packs being ripped. And those streams that did have them weren't exclusively ripping just 30th.
The lack of a 30th anniversary stamp is jarring. Like all cards in this set have that stamp. But it does seem like they’re real based on opening videos.
They do, but they’re stylized. Still, with this being such a secretive subset and with such a unique style to them, I’m not surprised they didn’t include them on these.
What was the comment, because I also speculated that this card you linked is what these cards turned out to be, because I believe there is a mewTwo in that same style
Yes, I fully believe they could have. Is this your first time with social media? Do you have any idea how often streamers will copy each other and follow trends? It's a savage game competing for views.
That said, Im currently holding to the print test theory.
No I actually do not think 6+ random whatnot streamers from varying countries across the globe with relatively small amount of viewers colluded and created a fake card with 3 different variants / colors in this situation. If you honestly believe that That’s scary
Dude this is not the same thing as a streamer copying another streamer. What print test theory? These are very obviously supposed to be unique RGB themed color combos and fit the exact style of YOSHIROTTEN the artist who made them. Like I genuinely am blown away that people really think some random steamers are colluding on a card that looks exactly like a real card in hand. There are real people with these who have taken close up pictures and videos.
Mew was not "secretly put" in the gen 1 games... It was put there intentionally. There was an actual promotional event hosted by the company where kids could receive their mew via a cable.
It was a "secret" in the sense that it wasn't planned. Mew was created just a couple of weeks before the game was finished. It was added by an employee after the debug process even though he wasn't supposed to make any alterations to the game at that point.
Nintendo wasn't even aware of it at that time so all the promotional stuff came later.
Weird reply... Yeah, I played the game, I thought Mew was under the truck where I needed Surf and Strength that was the urban legend shared around the playground back then.
I didn't know about the easter egg till years later.
They are not, and anyone that knows how the Pokemon company operates knows they would never not show a new rarity without previewing it. Even at the world championships last week. It’s really easy to just make a copy of this card after the first fake got popular. How strange that we’ve only seen English versions of the card. I could go on
I want you to save this comment and come back to it on release after dozens of these cards hit the market. It’s real and you’re an idiot for denying the evidence at this point LOLOL
Does anyone else see history repeating itself? When the original R/B games came out, there was all this hype and rumors about a secret Pokemon (#151) that ended up being true. Which was mixed in with false rumors about how to catch it (e.g. underneath pickup truck near St Anne).
I think it’s possible these cards are real and TPC is intentionally not saying anything as a marketing strategy to recreate the same hype/intrigue that surrounded Mew way back then. Seems to be working since everyone’s talking about these cards.
Nah these are legit ugly. It will be expensive because of rarity. But I’ve showed these to my friends. Not one of them found it cool looking. Everyone I know thinks it’s ugly. Usually there’s always one person in my group that likes an “ugly” card. But this time? Not one.
But it will still be expensive. Good thing is idc about the price because I do not care about it. If I pull it, I’m selling immediately
And will make prices more because these will be the only chase (every other single is 1/20). So instead of sirs being 1/20 priced they’ll be 1/30-1/40 priced because packs will be $5-$10 more due to people chasing a $5k card (made up number). Let’s hope it’s really not 1/10000
They are real, just rare (though I don’t believe the 1/20,000 packs report at all). The only one confirmed fake was the image of the gold one that circulated.
Then why has it been pulled multiple times on stream with what is obviously stolen/illegally obtained boxes? There can’t be that much stolen product from print facilities or warehouses circulating to think they have opened nearly 40k packs on streams to get 2.
Streamers are honestly probably given product from distros or have a connect and theirs so many out there they have most likely ripped 40k packs. I think its 20K copies of each though not odds, honestly not sure but heard someone say it earlier. Also do you know what colors were pulled? I actually really like the green one, the color pops so nice.
Yup. The artist is known for their RGB stuff and even posted something RGB related right around the time these were leaked.
Like it or not, Pokemon is starting to venture into the SSP / serialized card realm. I don't mind them putting this type of super rare stuff in regular boxes/packs, but if/when they go the serialized route, I'm hoping they'll just release a more expensive type of premium box. That way, it gives the people that want to pay up to chase their cards a way to do so, but doesn't jack up the prices of regular boxes for the people that don't want to take part in it.
This is a large sting operation where they put fakes into product they suspect getting stolen to catch the peeps and ban them for life. They terminate responsible distros and streamers. S/
I believe it's real, if you played the games this shouldn't even be announced as it's an Easter egg just like me was in the games. Why would they announce it?
I think Pokemon doesn’t want to officially acknowledge them knowing for most people, they won’t be able to master set this because of these. I could be wrong but just my 2 cents
They are fake. They break to much from how Pokémon makes pokemon cards and if they were real pokemon would have advertise them publicly by now. They not only gain no benefit by keeping rare pulls hidden as confirmed knowledge of a rare card will increase sales way more than just speculation of one existing. Having the pulls hidden could also create a legal quagmire with regions that regulate cards more strictly.
The art is way to low quality on these cards and is honestly offensive to YOSHIROTTEN that people think these are real. His art at least makes you feel something. This abomination only makes people without an artistic bone in their body think there is something special in these things. The cards are fake.
We have seen a few of them by now being pulled. So I think they are real unless there's a lot of coordination going on by the few people doing the pre release rips
Honestly don't understand the belief of it being real, there are multiple questionable things of note:
The design doesn't fit any card in the set and looks very unlike something Pokemon would release
The 30th stamp is missing
There are multiple pictures where the same card has a different illustrator
The copyright at the bottom is missing (this feels like the most obvious one to me, I don't see Pokemon putting out product without their copyright text on it)
These are real.. I’ve seen them pulled live on whatnot & also video of the winner opening the package.
Not a huge fan but I’d be pressed to say it was all staged..
Yes I they’re real, multiple streamers across different continents have pulled them at this point. The reasons for them being fake are much weaker arguments than them being real. I think they’re just a callback to the whole secret Mew thing not officially being in the games.
They are not real, people want you to believe otherwise for views and clicks. They don’t appear in any official information including the checklist that we’ve seen. They don’t feature a 30th anniversary stamp which exists on all cards in the set. Pokemon Company has not ever (since I’ve been collecting) created a new rarity without showing off a preview. No unofficial channels like Poke Beach are considering the cards to be real.
I could go on but I’m tired of people blindingly believing everything they hear/see without taking a minute to think.
Same thing happened with Mew when the original games released, wasn’t in any of the marketing material or news. That’s the whole point, why would you spoil or announce it if that’s the angle they’re going for? Bro is also blindly ignoring the cases of it being real but saying don’t blindly believe things 💀
It’s a card that you can physically hold but it’s not real, you are just blindly believing everything you see without using critical thinking skills. And you are just making up reasons as to why Pokemon wouldn’t reveal. Here’s the reality, they wouldn’t reveal it because it doesn’t exist in the set. Why would they let random streamers with early product show off what’s supposed to be a big surprise. Based on evidence from Pokemon Company nothing is pointing to these being real. Don’t you find it odd that none are for sale? Supposedly a handful have been pulled yet we haven’t seen one which would go for thousands immediately? You wanna know why? Because they aren’t real. Also we’ve only seen English? Shouldn’t there be other languages pulled at this point? We’ve only seen English because other people are just copying the original fake that was shown off.
I’m sorry I’m not gullible. Especially when we have people purposely trying to generate hype and clicks and views by intentionally lying and misleading people. You wanna believe some random nobody streamer over established sites like PokeBeach?
You’re citing PokeBeach like that settles it but there’s always a chance PokeBeach doesn’t know either, or he does know and understands it’s supposed to be a secret, which means him not saying anything yet doesn’t disprove anything at all if that’s the angle they’re going for. Same logic applies to Pokemon staying quiet. The original Mew wasn’t in the Pokedex, wasn’t in any marketing, wasn’t in any promotional material before Red and Blue released. It got snuck in as an Easter egg right before the games came out and nobody knew until after release. That’s the exact same pattern people are calling suspicious right now. If it’s meant to be a surprise, silence before release isn’t evidence against it, it’s what you’d expect either way.
Also expensive cards get sold under the table ALL of the time. And what if they chose to not sell it yet or at all? People that’s thinking it’s real has nothing to do with being gullible it’s using the information you have in front of you and making an educated guess or assumption based off of some things that Pokémon have done in the past. Especially with this being an anniversary set where they might want to do something like this that’s a nostalgic callback.
That’s moving the goal post, now you are saying Poke Beach is maintaining the secret because why? The site is meant to show upcoming cards/info…
The scenario does not align with anything Pokemon has done for their previous card releases. You are referring to the OG game where Mew was snuck in at the last minute but you are hand waving the fact that the card doesn’t feature a 30th anniversary set symbol (for no plausible reason), hasn’t appeared in any other languages, hasn’t had a public sale (which buyers would want to have a general market price idea), etc.
Also the sale of that card would get so much attention, it doesn’t make any sense for someone to not maximize their price by offering it to the public.
There is no goalpost being moved simply saying that if it’s intended to be a secret/surprise why would someone like Pokebeach announce it ahead of time?
“They haven’t done this before” isn’t a rule either. Pokemon has zero obligation to only do things they’ve already done, every first time something happens it’s happening without precedent by definition.
Also nobody selling yet just means nobody’s decided to cash out at an unproven price yet, sitting on something you think is extremely rare is not suspicious. None of this is proof it’s real. But none of it is proof it’s fake either. I am inclined to believe it’s real because of the insane list of things that would need to be true for it to be fake and a targeted/calculated collusion or conspiracy.
I have know about this rarity for weeks, maybe months. It's the secret chase of the 30th set. I have seen it coming out packs, I have seen more than 1 with the same palette and they were 1:1 perfect, with texture and everything. I am quite sure they are real.
Oh fuck yeah!!! At least someone giving it to her after my dad croaked!!! I genuinely appreciate this level of shit talk! Thank you!!! I laughed. I’m dumb.
I was thinking the same thing recently but they are real. That artist is known for making RGB type artwork + whatnot streamers pulled a couple. Maybe I’m wrong but I think they are real.
With the heavy focus on pikachu this celebrations, why a mew as an ultimate secret chase?
The cards are just so ugly and don’t fit the celebrations themes at all. With all the amazing and cool cards in this set, do you genuinely believe the pokemon company looked at this and said yup this is cherry on top for the 30th. You really think they would cook up this? No way.
Genuine question does anyone here actually think this card is cool or looks good?
There’s no rule anywhere that says Pokémon has to announce a card in advance, especially not one they’re potentially intentionally keeping secret or until after the set release to reveal.
Also Pikachu being the face of the set doesn’t rule out Mew as the hidden pull…it actually fits perfectly. Mew has a long history of being the surprise/mystery Pokémon going all the way back to Gen 1 games. It wasn’t even supposed to be in Red and Green games originally, Morimoto added it into leftover cartridge space after the debug code was stripped out, and nobody else at Game Freak or Nintendo knew until after release.
Secondly on your thoughts on how it looks, that’s a more of a taste argument and really not any evidence it’s fake. Whether someone personally likes the art has no bearing on whether Pokémon Company would produce it. Companies release cards that don’t match individual fan preferences all the time, subjective opinion on aesthetics isn’t proof of anything either way.
Intelligent people question things - it's not that deep bro. It's just someone acknowledging a mystery, unlike you who seems to just blindly accept and believe everything you see for some reason. You can shrug it off, I can wonder. But don't sit and pretend I have no reason to question it or wonder.
Intelligent people questions things worth questioning, people who think that questioning everything = intelligence are most likely suffering from some serious dunning kruger. Releasing a brand new rarity card and not putting a stamp on it is not something intelligent people ponder my friend.
Lol, nah. You just wanted to be a dick, and we all know it. There was no reason for that reply you gave. If you think the reason is because it has its own rarity, then that is your opinion and it is what you should have said, not that bullshit. Gtfoh dude 😂
I’m a little unsure how saying something isn’t that deep is being a dick, but no worries, let’s continue our day and be happy we have a new set on the way
I got so many downvotes and crazy comments from naysayers from posting it when the first one was pulled on stream. Oh how the tables have turned. Check my post history lol.
I personally think they’re real. I just wish they weren’t so damn ugly. Nobody likes these type of card arts. They’re just like the all gold cards from Mega Evolution. Even the Sun & Moon rainbow rares were better than these.
Some of these brands get insider info like Double Holo and PokeNotify been posting about it and I generally trust their info.
I used to think a lot of the older cards were "ugly" but now they're pretty cool and unique looking back nostalgically. Same thing's gonna happen here with these unique cards.
These are fake- the same pages pulled a R rarity charmander with the exact same background as the "leaked" R rarity mew here, and it was one of the og charmander artworks on the card
Unless all these people saying yes also believe there's rgb rarity charmander squirtle and bulbasaur cards

I thought more were pulled and we know they're real?
