Is Your Pokémon Guessing Ability Now a Valuable Skill?

IIC's YouTube video demonstrating this technology has fueled debate about the service's implications for the Pokémon card market. The high value of rare Pokémon cards, some fetching hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, is well-known. The intense demand, particularly for cards with designer signatures, has even led to reported harassment of illustrators by scalpers.

The Pokémon card market has become a significant investment niche, with many seeking cards expected to appreciate in value.

While some see the pre-opening scan as advantageous, others express concern on IIC's YouTube channel, voicing feelings of "disgust" and "threat" towards the service. Concerns range from market integrity to potential inflation. Skepticism remains, however, with many disagreeing with these concerns.

One amusing comment highlights the potential shift: "Finally, my 'Who's That Pokémon?' skills are going to be highly sought after!"
