Ok, but pokemon is $35,600,000,000 ahead of the next biggest media franchise ever. While I don’t know every single name on the list down to $1B, none that I know are based on catch them all and mostly children gambling.
Yeah, what’s your point? We’re not talking about all media, we’re talking about tcg’s and collectable fads, you know, the subject of the posted meme and comment thread? It was your comment!?

Want a card? Buy a pack. Get the card you wanted? No. Buy another pack.

Honest question, in media franchises, to what would you compare the pokemon gift?
Bayblade, Magic the Gathering, Digimon, Yugioh, Pogs, baseball cards.
Basically anything that has a randomised collectible component that you can’t purchase individually from the provider is gambling.
