Even if you get a good tier for the bonus pack you still aren’t guaranteed a hit - buy what you like but know the risk. Love Rev seems like a genuine guy

Mystery Packs in my opinion are what I buy every time I get packs direct from The Pokemon Company! Sorry Rev, will never

[YetAnotherDUFCouple]

Idea. Buy 30 pokerev mystery packs and open them in 5 years. YOU WILL BE SO HAPPY

[michaelcarden]

I'm pretty new to pokemon, about 3 months into it. I've bought 6 pokerev packs and got 2 silver, 2 red, and 2 green. Silvers were legendary treasures and plasma storm. Your basically paying $25 or so for a chance on a old/vintage packs. I'm buying more for sure

[amkpokenut]

I agree with your take 100%. Rev is probably my favorite streamer. Realbreakingnate being a close second. He has way too much to lose by scamming and manipulating these packs. He seems like a stand up guy, and I cannot take what people are saying about him seriously. The internet is a cesspool for complaining and brings out the worst in people. Do what you want, buy them or don’t. It’s your money and your gamble. Don’t try bringing down one of the best guys in the Pokémon space just because you don’t wanna pay an extra 8 bucks, or didn’t get lucky and pulled a green pack.

Its hilarious how crazy this blew up. They arent scams. The mystery packs are chances to chase the vintage packs. If you dont wanna do that or support poke rev, then dont buy them. But to say they are scams when hes not a scammer makes people look a little uneducated and just angry at his success. Hes a good dude.

You are great on camera, to up your feed "look" you should address your lighting. That is the #1 thing you can do.

[lynnball]

Every time I want to buy a mystery pack, I watch openings of the exact pack I want to buy and them I'm convinced not to buy the mystery pack.

[pikapika]

Dude i was going to say exaclty what you said about Gambling x gambling is gambling squared😂 great minds thing alike🎉

[jcallen]

Ive probably bought about 20 packs over the last year. I've pulled 3 gold, 2 silver and 3 or 4 red packs. I enjoy the pokerev packs, they're a fun rip

[ryansosna]

Pokerev seems like a cool guy and like you said, buying anyones mystery packs is just doubling down on the rng. I did always think it was weird for him to open his own packs tho. Its kind of like the CEO of a company winning a competition hosted by the company, just doesnt look good lol, like a conflict of interest

[PokeGang]

Didn’t think it was necessary for him to make a video explaining the increase in price. He has enough of a reputation to not have to make a 30 minute video explaining that his mystery packs aren’t a scam. He did make the video though so that was the right decision. I was wrong to think he shouldn’t. He’s the best to do it having the extra footage when he lost connection was smart everything he does in the space is smart and correct. He has the experience he has the following he’s just better at Pokemon YouTube than anyone. Creating Pokemon content without watching pokerev and learning from his experience would be like taking a test without ever opening a book.

[jiinweii]

Just stop buying mystery packs. Its destroying the collection market with over-inflated price.

[dacollector]

I think the only thing PokeRev is guilty of is putting in pokemon go packs in your mystery packs now thats a crime lol.

[Mike-]

At almost $10 a pack its a bit much. And the whole "10:1 chance" etc is just a gimmick. You can buy 20 and get all greens.

If I were to buy packs I'd just go to costco and scoop up a bunch of their stuff when the packs are around $2 a pack. I have even seen sales where its $9.99 for 9 packs.

If you have enough disposable income you do you and buy stuff like this. I do and still wont buy them. $500 for 50 packs from Rev or $500 for 250 - 500 packs from Costco?

[matthewluecht]

Love your videos man. Keep up the great work!

[miguelgalarza]

Honestly I paused the video but here is my take. I think the PokeRev packs have gone downhill. So far I've seen the 5.0 mystery packs be dreadful. And I get it though. It's a gamble but they use to be better. At least they aren't misrepresenting them though. Some mystery packs from other sites that aren't from credible youtubers are false advertising and they send out pretty much garbage. At least the good youtubers expose those bad packs. It's why I don't buy those at all. I did buy PokeRev packs but the 3.0 version. I'm not really into the Scarlet & Violet Era except for Pokemon 151. But other than that set, I really not into the Scarlet & Violet sets. I got back in with Sword and Shield and I regret not stocking up on Evolving Skies and maybe that set is just so good but so scarce with hits but so rewarding when you do get hits. Anyway, I think the new 5.0 packs are so loaded with Green packs that hitting even Red is really tough. Just saw one if his friends on YouTube open up not 1 or 2 but 5 of those and they all had green packs. I saw another youtuber PokeCuz and he had all green. Small sample size but so far the green is way too often. But again, I think I've seen a small sample size so far.

I bought a few pokerev 3.0 packs last year and got two vintage packs. Gym challenge and team rocket. Those packs didn’t have a holo but at least it was something promising.

[eliotpadron]

People just want to act smarter than they really are by saying they caught something its simple do not buy its all they can do cause theyre opinions reall dont matter my opinion like you say hes a businessman and he too smart for that it had to really be incidental

[samersalama]

People are ridiculous. I find it interesting that people throw their money away on mg holding mystery packs all the time. The odds they put those boxes are not true. At least with PokeRev packs, we have seen so many people pull silver and gold tier packs and I have seen a minimum of 3 vintage packs with holos! People just like to complain. I love what he does. He isn’t throwing his reputation away. All swsh and SV era packs are going up. Great video.
