>>52663611Boomer here. I got into vintage Pokemon again during like 2018 or 2019 after XY and SuMo kinda reopened the door for the boomers.
I still am vaguely interested in Boomer WOTC sets but at this point I've completely dropped it and having been collecting modern sets exclusively for a few years.
2021 was the best year for Pokemon TCG and general enjoyment. SuMo and S&S will down as godly. I probably wont collect S&V sets because I don't like the silver borders but still plenty of singles to slowly collect over time.
As for the games, I do think the impact and joy from old games was incredible but yeah you can't go wrong even with Scarlet and Violet.
WOTC was incredible just modern from SuMo exceeds it.
