I think it's due to COVID-19 and people just being bored in general. I guess the cute cuddly creatures give them some sort of comfort. Like look at the sales of Sword/Shield despite the "boycotts" over Dexit. Look at the crazy demand for Pokemon cards. I don't remember Pokemon being such a sensation in the last 20 years. Is the pandemic responsible for this?

Do you think the populace is being groomed for an upcoming movie or console release?

Yeah it's funny how the 2016 Charizard XY Evo card went from "iT's NoT tHe OrIgInAL" to ascending to 3-digit resale value.

I literally bought one loose like 2 years ago for less than $9. Not worth PSA grading imo, though. Seems like it's good as far as lines go, but centering isn't there. Has edge imperfection on a corner.

I'm almost certain it's because of that and because next week they may be announcing
Gen 4 remakes
Let's Go Johto edition
Gen 9
More Pokemon Snap

and things like Go, Unite, Sleep and for some I guess Gary, Iris and Cynthia returning to the anime

Pokmon as an MMORPG in VR is probably going to be the future.
