It is far more popular among kids than it was in the 90s. There are so many more children, and their biggest zoomzoom/millenial influencers shill unboxings cause that gets views.
It's a conspiracy deeper than that though, for the manipulated prices on the holographic Charizards.
There was a concerted effort by hedge fund salad tossers and collectable grading companies to inflate the price of video game collectibles at the tail end of the 2010s. I'm talking about all those PSA 10 first generation NES games selling for 50k at auction, then 500k, and the next article the same one resold for 1million. To the same in group of speculators.
Some shithead was doing the same with all the PSA grade 10 holographic Charizards, you can see some of the earliest viral marketing on this when scumbag supreme himself carries a suitcase filled with plastic cased holographic Charizards to pawn stars wanting some outrageous shit like 1mill for it.
Then he convinced the Paul brothers who were doing MMA or wrestling shit fuck if I can remember to wear them in the ring and an entire generation of little timmies now want to get pokemon collectables again.
Unironically the only reason Pokemon is what it is today is due to Pokemon Go, and it's trading card mindrot in the last decade. Going off the merit of their games they'd be fucking COOOOKED
pic related, one of the key players behind the manufactured modern pokemon card craze.
