Pokemon at least has a less predatory comp model than MTG where meta cards are always relatively accessible and the expensive ones are just alt art.

The very creation of the red/blue versions of the Pokemon games was a marketing attempt to boost sales by selling the exchange cable and create a sense of community and social interaction within the games.
