"after just one break with Pokenerds I’m sure I’ll be participating in loads more in the future!" - Brian H
On Saturday March 21st, I got the chance to participate in my first ever break with Pokenerds, and I’ve got to say I was certainly surprised at how exciting and engaging it was! I’d never participated in a card break prior to this, and I didn’t know if it was really for me, but after just one break with Pokenerds I’m sure I’ll be participating in loads more in the future!
When I first purchased my spot in the break, I was excited but nervous. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I was looking forward to it! I patiently waited for the live stream to start, and while waiting I did some research on some of the cards I could possibly get. This got me even more excited, and didn’t really help the time pass, but eventually the stream went live.
I joined the stream for the first time and the community was extremely friendly and welcoming. I didn’t chat too much at first because I didn’t feel like I knew too many people but in just a few short weeks that’s entirely changed. I’m more active in this stream chat than any other I’ve been in, and I don’t think I could’ve stumbled upon a better Pokefamily to call home.
A few minutes into the stream it was time to randomize the types, I didn’t really have a clue what to hope for at the time but Brian was completely up-front about what the best type was in the box and I really appreciated the transparency. I didn’t get the preferred type, but that didn’t bother me at all since I wasn’t really hoping for any specific type ahead of time.
The only thing I was hoping for was to get some kind of hit during the break and I did! About halfway through the box Brian pulled a Machamp GX for me, and I was ecstatic! I never thought I’d find myself so excited and engaged over something as simple as trading cards, but knowing how many packs are being opened, and the added feature of a whole community watching and rooting for you, really made the experience special.
Not only did I get a hit that night, but later during the stream I also won a giveaway for an exclusive Pokemon European Championship Tapu Koko Pin! This shipped out with the cards from my break, and when they arrived I was surprised to see that I had almost finished the entire Fighting set in the Sworld and Shield expansion.
All-in-all, if you’re looking to collect a certain type in a set, or just have some fun while getting some new cards, this is definitely one of the best ways to do it.

This was the cutest store.
I was looking for a free event for my son who is a huge Pokémon fan.
I was so surprised when I pulled up to this small store. It was quaint and well managed.
The trading event for kids was awesome! He had sooo much fun!
Thank you PokeNerds!
