5 Tips To Buying Trading Cards

The trading card industry is one of the most popular in all of collectibles. With everything ranging from race used sheet metal to game-used bats and rookie cards of tomorrow’s hottest stars, the manufacturers of trading cards have changed the way people collect. Some time ago, the greatest insert in a wax pack was a stick of bubble gum, but today it’s so much more. With such popularity comes…

Check out my video on the 2024 Pokémon Battle Academy! It's a follow-up to the video I posted recently about collecting all the cards in the Pokémon TCG Scarlet and Violet Base Set, and I worked very hard on both. Give it a watch!

I Have an Idea!

What if the Academy Ace Tournament had results screens like Splatoon?

Different poses, emote potential, and character interactions depending on your placement, who you battled, etc.. Could include the DLC characters visiting and battling as well for an extra incentive to play

Stats about how many moves you used, how many Pokemon you lost, all that kind of thing (nerd stuff for people like me)

Music for when you blackout at any point in the tournament, win normally, and win without losing a single Pokemon AND using no items in battle (hard mode). My track ideas are listed below:

I've had this idea for a little bit now, and I think it's a really fun one. I'd love to hear what you all have to say!

Pokémon Promo Card featuring Eevee V SWSH065 with an Eevee Battle Academy Stamp from the Sword & Shield Set

[themostefficientwaywithwater]

today while i was napping i dreamed the concept art of sv's friend group leaked and it was revealed that beta-nemona was suposed to me a "mean" rival (think of blue, silver...) and that instead of wanting to be your rival and friend she actively pursued you to the gyms to defeat you (not just battle you. defeat you). aparently, she was the strongest trainer of the academy, and the only one that defeated the champion, so she wanted to prevent you from passing the league's challenge so she could keep being "the strongest". she would've had a more abrasive personality and was more two-faced (very sweet with the teachers and champion, more agressive toward her peers and specially to anyone she considered could be a threat to her status) and allegedly she had some barely hidden romantic feelings for the player character?

and they everybody loved it??? everyone was posting "we were so robbed" comments and making fanfics with protagonist/beta-nemona and making fanart and saying how much better the beta was than the final product and that it was a shame they scrapped it off???

anyway, i got so mad i couldn't stop being angry even after i confirmed it was just a dream and didn't actually happen

Headcanon - Blueberry Academy And The Pressure to Succeed

Uva/Naranja Academy and Blueberry Academy could not be more different from one another. This may seem like a pretty surface level observation, but the fact of the matter is that the culture surrounding battling and achievement in particular is much more intense than it is in Paldea.

To expound upon this, when we first arrive at Uva/Naranja, we're greeted with the concept of the Treasure Hunt. Yes, classes are still imperative but the truth is, where you choose to focus your studies ultimately is up to you. There is a lot of freedom within Uva/Naranja to follow one's passions, and that is reinforced by the faculty that are proactively involved in the lives of their students. That's not to say that Uva/Naranja is perfect by any means, as evidenced by how they handled Team Star. However, your education and what you do with it is much more in your own hands.

By contrast... Blueberry Academy seems to put an intense focus on battling and competition among its students. There do appear to be plenty of extracurricular activities available to the students, but battling appears to be the main focus of this academy. Between the exclusive use of double-battling, the competitive strategies that we see in Pokemon battles from non-E4 members, and the reactions of onlookers when their Champion loses a single match, it's pretty clear that the students hold themselves and each other to a higher level of battling.

Where does this culture come from? Likely it stems from the faculty first, but perhaps paints a broader picture of Unova's views on battling. We don't get the opportunity to see more than just one class during our introduction to the academy, but the class itself is very much hands on, practical experience. This may not be the case for every class, but it certainly lends itself to the impression that faculty expect you to be of a certain skill level when going into their assignments and to achieve the expected results.

And of course there are the random trainer encounters throughout the Terrarium. Each student seems to be focusing on their teams and trying to competitively improve so that they can move up or impress other trainers.

This all culminates in the Champion Battle against Kieran. All of these students gather together to watch, and the moment that Kieran loses, all of them turn their backs and walk away as if it was never worth their time to begin with. This is in stark contrast to the way the final battle against Nemona is perceived in Mesagoza. And while yes, Kieran certainly did not help the matter with how he behaved prior to the match, there's still no celebration or fanfare in this battle, even for the victor. It feels more like the students watching went well that Champion was short-lived. Anyway...

I would not be remotely surprised if Drayton's loss to Kieran had a similar energy.

Let's take a moment and move back to the Teal Mask too. Yes, there are other factors that do contribute to Kieran slowly losing it, but each battle does become more personal for him. That loss streak really gets to him over the course of the trip, perhaps because it's happening so consistently against someone he assumes to be a peer. And if the academy he attends already has a very intense curriculum when it comes to battling, this shouldn't come as a surprise.

We don't know how well Kieran was doing at Blueberry Academy before the Kitakami trip, but we can at least infer from Drayton that he had a lot more fun battling prior to those events. My guess is that Kieran was having his fair share of wins and losses.

And what of the faculty when it comes to Kieran's mental health? No one appears to have stepped in or tried to talk with him. The only faculty member directly involved in his battling is far more absorbed in the knowledge she can glean from him, rather than listening to and understanding a teenager's desperate cry for help. To me this implies the teaching staff do not have nearly as much care when it comes to how their students are faring if they're getting results in battles.

The academy is failing at checking the mental and emotional well-being at all levels if they're fine with allowing a troubled kid to no only run himself physically ragged, but inflict this same kind of punishment on other students for being weak in battle.

So what is the result of this? Bleuberry Academy is fostering highly competitive young trainers who will absolutely take on Unova, more than ready for all of its challenges and battles, but it appears to have a negative impact on the socialization of its students as well, where winning becomes a priority for everyone involved. Of course, not all of the students fall into this mental trap, but those that do may end up drowning due to the pressure and expectations of Blueberry Academy's ever lofty expectations.
