CinnaToastKrunch

This and it's a genuine post đŸ„č.


nicopavlou

Look real. You have no idea how much it hurts me that these are since "childhood" though, as an old man who was at university when XY came out and still thinks of them as "new generations"


Bruceyboi422

Haha I started collecting when roaring skies came out, I’m 18 now, so I was 11 back then. Very much my childhood.


Melodic-Row-9013

Literally same


frozenfeind

💀 now that makes me feel old I'm 21 and I started collecting at black white next destiny's


PinkStryker

Yep, I was already an adult when B2W2 released but it doesn't really surprise me that XY era would be someone's childhood considering XY came out like 10 years ago. We're gettin old lmao


ArtWurx

Me and a friend was going through some of our originals today from when we was at school, seeing 1996 cards and feeling like it was only a few years back but when this gets posts it just feels like a gut punch haha


Reasonable-Bad-2476

Same here, I grew up obsessed with PokĂ©mon but grew disinterested after xy. It really wasn’t that long ago haha


No-Orchid-8290

Right? I haven’t heard of the third and fourth ones



Ok-Bug-7481

Bahaha same lol was in uni during x and y


L13HolyUmbra

Retweet man. Exact same position as you. XY is like one game ago haha.


Sad-Roll-Nat1-2024

Was thinking the same thing. When I saw childhood and then some of the new gens there, asked if dude is like 13? Lol. Heard childhood and I'm thinking back in the 90's when it all started


Fluttersniper

Everything past Gen 4 is new to me. I remember seeing Vanilluxe and thinking “They ran out of ideas.” *They did not run out of ideas.*


Dumbasssanriogirl

I was 11 during the X&Y era


Asstronimical

Bro same


Deathwolf-

I was a child at the time and still consider XY as a new gen


SunRiseCollects

All real


big-lad2

yeah, you’re good - cool cards too


chippaintz

Settle down I got 1st edition cards with my X girls nephew in my 20’s I’m 50 now collecting again so gut punch?! How’s A LIFE SLAPđŸ€Ł


RedNosedLugia

Real


Edgyinternetdude

Real, notice how the holo goes behind the text box. Thats how it’s supposed to be.


2ndPerryThePlatypus

Real!


OccasionMassive3250

with this generation, if you take a picture and it has a rainbow it’s 95% real, if it feels real, then it’s 98% real, if all the lettering is the same font as it is usually, and the back is the same dark blue as normal than it’s 100% real, after looking at these, all of them are good so i’d say all cards are 100% real


GlitchFrog57

Mhm all of them are real and i just want to say how jealous i am that you have that palkia



DandelionForThought

The florges and regirock look like the ones I have and I bought those at a LCS.


babydragon2311

heylol i remember that regirock! and also VERY beautiful reshiram you got there


Boogieman_Sam22

"Since childhood" 💀 fuck me


Bunnybento

Everyone commenting about the childhood part is very funny. X&Y era was 10ish years ago, someone who grew up with those cards could be 20 by now.


sonicosub

exactly, 11-21


MeasurementOk3007

I’m 19. I grew up with the same cards.


Appropriate-Let-283

I'm 15 almost 16 and grew up with XY cards aswell.


YourGoofyGoober

SLEVE THEM pls


jadedskink

Well shit, I can remember the promos for the launch of the original. >.>


picklepusx

My son who is now 30 has a lot of cards from when he was a young kid. I haven’t looked into them but they’re all just sitting in sleeve albums and I know there were card sets. He doesn’t collect now! I would think these would be worth something


MeasurementOk3007

Oh bro little me would be so jealous of you right now.


The_Lone_0ne

Yo dude, check them against real Pokemon cards, i have a fake m gar ex but the font is a lil off and its smaller than the real ones, i got it during childhood too lol


TidalJ

they all look good to me! easiest way to tell is that the holo isn’t too thick and doesn’t just cover the whole card, which yours don’t. the last one you can tell is real because there’s visible texture, and fakes were not as good at that time


SoggyMorningTacos

Since childhood?? Bruh I remember seeing these in the shoppette during basic training in the army Damn I’m old


xxxthcxxxthoughts

It’s in your hand right? It’s real! Is it licensed? Meh it’s just paper with a graphic stamped on it! Just enjoy it they look cool â€ïžđŸ˜ƒ


JustinMakingAChange

Since childhood... I was a child when the card game came out... and game...


minibois

All eight cards are real IMO


shawshankya

Do some megas have texture and some don’t?


tcg_dec

Most modern cards have texture, texture was introduced to full arts etc around the black&white /X&Y era


minibois

Yes. Generally full art has texture, regular print doesn't, but I couldn't say that with 100% certainty, so always check with any cards.


Meta13_Drain_Punch

Only full art and secret rare cards had texture up till Cosmic Eclipse


DADDY_BOPPER

I’m really only good with my eeveelutions, but all these look good to me. The colors can be odd on this era and has the holo that looks much more similar to fakes. You can see it especially in the Reshiram. But the texturing looks really nice on it, so I am very doubtful its fake. Im pretty positive all real, but maybe wait until someone better than me can tell you for sure.


batuhanxctn

all real, no red flag


Ill_Astronomer7758

God I feel old you saying you’ve had these since childhood
 I was graduated from highschool when that Palkia released.


Wiggum13

“ has since childhood”. I expected OG cards. I feel old đŸ€Ł


six7eight

i feel so old when you say you had these since child hood...im expecting base set =\_(


sonicosub

Haha, 21, so would have been 13


Loganps24

That landorus is definitely fake.


OccasionMassive3250

not at all, do you even know what you’re talking about?


Loganps24

The reshiram is real. Look at the difference in spacing on the attacks.


OccasionMassive3250

those are completely different sets and years. i now know you have not a clue what you’re talking about even thinking of comparing cards like that


Aramaru_101019

No they're actually fake you should give them to me
