Why are new Pokemon cards so expensive?

The high prices for new Pokemon cards come down to a few key reasons: limited supply, high demand, and the sheer popularity of the Pokemon franchise. Manufacturers often release cards in limited quantities to maintain their collectibility, which can drive prices up. Plus, with Pokemon's global fanbase and the nostalgia factor for older players, demand often outstrips supply. Also, don't forget the rarity aspect; rare cards are naturally more sought after, making their price tags soar even higher!

Supply and demand, my friends. Pokemon's a hot commodity, and as long as people are willing to pay, prices will stay high. Simple economics.

One word: Scalpers. These folks buy up all the new releases and then sell them for way more online. It's frustrating for genuine fans and collectors.

Honestly, it's all about the hype. Pokemon has done a great job keeping the game fresh and exciting, which keeps people willing to pay top dollar for the newest cards. Plus, finding that one ultra-rare card in a pack feels like winning the lottery, so people keep buying.
