>>54952944>>54952673It's exactly this. What do I, a filthy genwunner, have to gain from opening a box of Shining Fates? A shot at a shiny Koffing? Maybe a shiny Lapras or a Suicune if I'm lucky? Meanwhile Paldean Fates has the Charmander line, Entei, the Slowpoke line, the Abra line, the Jigglypuff line, the Mankey line, Ditto, Snorlax, and so on. Even shitters like Natu, Staryu, Hoppip, Pineco, Oddish, Pidgey, etc. are way more exciting than the vast, vast majority of Shining Fates shinies.
Plus some of my personal favourites are included in the set. Genuinely can't wait to get Slowpoke, Drifloon, Klefki, Murkrow, Sableye, Sneasel, etc.
