Why are these games so expensive? You'd think they sold 1,000 copies with how they're priced.

ORAS is like $35 a pop.

By the way, get your 3ds games now before they explode in price. You've been warned.

The last Pokémon games widely considered to be good, plus they're no longer in print.
I'm sure in a decade, Legends Arceus will also be absurdly expensive.

they were already getting expensive and then the pandemic made everything go apeshit, and the newer games becoming less appealing to diehard fans who would care to buy the old games certainly didn't help.
It's hard to say if it'll keep going up, pretty much everything Gens 3-5 has been on a steady uptick, and it probably won't be long until Gens 6-7 contract that. I wish I could say the possible Gen 5 remakes would drop the prices but we all know those will probably be a trainwreck.

I don't think I could part with it unless I got around to trading the pokemon to another version or dumping the save file.

All gaming stuff went up during the pandemic and just never returned to normal. I got a copy of White 2 (boxed, good condition) for less than $30 in 2019.

Why not just buy the box?
>>56756808
Nobody can predict the future but they have all been increasing in price so it's easy to assume they will at least hold their value if not keep going up.

It's so ridiculous. All I've wanted for so long is to have a physical copy of pokémon games, not even in a retarded "collector" way. I'm just praying at this point the zoomer nostalgia dies down like it happened with the millennials, but I'm not optimistic.

Nothing more pathetic than trying to shill the fact that you like one mid game in the entire series when that wasn't what the thread was even about.
The fact that Jannies have to put up with you retards more than anyone else speaks volumes.

All these threads recently made me dig out most of my collection to post this.

Most of the gen 1 to 3 boxes, Pokemon pinball, and HG's pokewalker are still at my parents.

I'm only missing the CIB for a few games: my brother lost the Soul Silver box, and a few of the GB/GBC/GBA games that I bought used to fill in the collection pre covid.

I remember as a kid my parents let me choose between either Black 2 or Mario 64 DS. I already had Black at the time so I figured “eh, might as well get something different.” Now Mario is worth peanuts compared to this.

Because pokeniggers are serial hoarders. Just look at the TCG. Maybe 5% actually like Pokémon these days, and the rest are niggers who want to make money
