Pokémon TCG's Black Bolt & White Flare Are An Anticlimactic Ending To Scarlet & Violet
The Black Bolt and White Flare sets feel like a disappointing finale to the Scarlet & Violet era. While they attempt to build on the excitement of earlier releases, they ultimately lack the wow factor that fans have come to expect. - The pull rates are underwhelming, leading to frustration among collectors. - Artwork does not reach the heights of previous sets, feeling lackluster in comparison. One can only wonder why The Pokémon Company chose this path. In a time where innovation is key, these sets seem to play it safe. Overall, they serve as a reminder of what was lost rather than what was gained.
