POKEMON CARDSThere was a time when
Pokémon cards were just for
kids. Trading cards in the playground, folders full of plastic sleeves, and endless arguments about who had the
rarest one.
They were born in Japan in 1996 and exploded worldwide in the late ’90s. Then, like everything that rises too fast, it seemed like they were starting to
fade away… until around 2020 someone opened a drawer, pulled out their old binder, and lit the
spark again.
Between
nostalgia, influencers, and people showing off their collections online, things got a bit out of
hand. So much so that today some cards sell for amounts that could set you up for life without even trying.
But of course, the internet never sticks to just
collecting. It always takes things one step further.
Now there’s a new “
trend” giving it a different twist: girls placing
Pokémon cards on their
chest and taking photos. That’s it. No story. No lore. Straight to the
point.

THE VOLLEYBALL GIRLYears ago, when someone went to see a magician, there were two kinds of people: those who knew there was a trick… and those who
wanted to believe.
Today you don’t need stages or cards hidden up a sleeve. All it takes is an Instagram profile, a perfect face, a body straight out of a catalog… and artificial intelligence doing the rest.
Because yes, what you’re seeing in those videos —that blonde, stunning girl playing volleyball, in a gym, on the beach, with those smooth, almost “too perfect” movements—
doesn’t exist.
There’s no girl. No team. No match. There’s someone behind it generating the content, uploading it, refining it… and most importantly,
monetizing it. And that’s where things get interesting.
Because we’re not just talking about accounts posting videos to get views. We’re talking about profiles that build followers, create a community… and then drop a link. A link that takes you out of there and into some kind of hub where, if you want to see more, you have to pay. And you pay. You pay to see more of someone who, in reality,
doesn’t exist.
And no, in many cases there isn’t a single line telling you that the content is AI-generated. Nothing. Zero. As if everything were real. So the question isn’t whether the technology has advanced—we already know that. The real question is:
is this entertainment… or is it deception?
Because if you go in knowing what it is, fine. Everyone spends their money however they want. Just like paying for a show, a game, or anything else.
But if no one tells you… if everything is designed to look real… then you’re no longer choosing with full information. And that changes everything.
Maybe you see it clearly. Maybe you notice the flaws, something feels off, and you think “this is AI.” But a lot of people don’t. Or they suspect it… and just don’t care.
And that’s the most interesting part. That just like years ago some people believed in magic… now there are adults who, knowingly or not, are stepping into a game where the line between real and generated isn’t so clear anymore. Not because it’s gone… but because it’s getting harder and harder to see.
