How are Pokemon card packs and loot boxes not the same?
Pokemon card packs and loot boxes might seem similar because both involve the luck of the draw, but there's a key difference. Pokemon card packs are a physical product with a tangible collection aspect. You know you're getting a specific number of cards, and there's a transparent rarity system. Plus, there's the joy of physically opening a pack. Loot boxes in video games are digital, often with less clear odds, and sometimes linked to game progression, making them feel more necessary than optional.

Gonna play devil's advocate here: aren't both just gambling for kids?
Honestly, it's like comparing apples and oranges. Pokemon cards bring back nostalgia and have an entire community and economy built around trading and collecting. Plus, there's something super satisfying about opening a pack and feeling the cards. Loot boxes? Just a bunch of pixels.
Big diff – Pokemon cards can become rare collectibles IRL. Ever hear of a digital loot box item being sold for thousands? Didn't think so.
