🧼 The Gooner Gallery Hustle – How Fake Game Covers Became the New Bath Water
They said we were buying nostalgia. We said: nah—we're buying thick-printed fantasy in an ESRB-rated box.
Today’s rabbit hole? A $19.94 eBay listing for a fake Pokémon Y 3DS cover featuring Serena—but not your Serena. This one's clearly been through Midjourney’s "what if she left Pallet Town and got sponsored by Fansly" pipeline.
No game. No case. Just the art. Just the intent. Just the seduction.
And you know what? I'm not even mad. Because this isn’t a scam—it’s a psychological goldmine.
🔗 See it raw before Nintendo hits him with the cease & desist: https://www.ebay.com/itm/297179422849?_skw=clank&itmmeta=01JXGRZBDAQZD2YZR7H73M5554&hash=item4531462081:g:pvUAAOSwWcFnO9Yg
Let’s break it down:
🖼️ It’s AI art—1000%. Too glossy. Too perfect. Too Midjourney-core. No human artist on eBay is pumping out high-resolution thirst traps of Pokémon girls without a signature or a hint of pride. This is all prompt, no shame.
📦 It’s labeled clearly: “COVER ART ONLY.” That’s your legal firewall. No one's getting sued—Nintendo might side-eye, but they won’t smite. It's not Serena—it’s just… someone who reminds you of Serena. Legally distinct goonerbait.
💸 It’s $20 for vibes. Just like Belle Delphine’s gamer girl bath water wasn’t about the water—it was about the symbol. This is the same thing. You’re not buying a game—you’re buying a smirk on your shelf. A conversation piece. A confession in plastic.
🧠 It’s genius degenerate capitalism. Minimal cost. Maximal thirst. Riding nostalgia like a Trojan horse into the wallets of grown-up gamers who aren’t here to “catch ‘em all”—they’re here to “stare respectfully.”
Final Thought: We used to collect games for the stories. Now we collect covers for the fantasies. And in a world where even nostalgia gets reprinted and rewrapped in thigh highs and crop tops—this is just smart packaging.
Give that seller a crown. Not for class— but for clarity of purpose.
