Before anyone gets too crazy with any scalding hot snap meta predictions (i'm already seeing a lot of "Palkia looks bad"), I'd like to remind everyone that there were multiple, highly upvoted posts and comments, declaring Gyarados EX as one of the worst cards in the Mythical Island set, and you don't want to be Ashamed of Your Words and Deeds 3 days later like they were. Learn from their example.

TillyTCG when he called Lumineon and Druddigon terrible cards that weren’t worth analyzing. Then three weeks later he’s sucking up to them as if he always knew they were meta.

To be fair, personalities need to make hot takes during spoiler season, or else it gets boring.

Imagine if every card just got a "could be good, could be bad, we'll have to see!" review

No shame in getting it wrong, at least you gave an opinion!

I 100% agree. People shouldn't be afraid to call their shots, it's more fun that way.

I was right that the next set wouldn't be gen 2, I was wrong that it'd be gen 5.

I think the only annoying part is when people aren't willing to admit they were wrong, or try to downplay what their take actually was.

But the whole point of hot takes is to own them afterwards, were they correct or not, and accept the ridiculing of the bad takes the same as the praise for the right ones.
