Have you ever bought Pokemon Cards?

Well with yugioh, the two main decks atm are lightsworns and xsabers, which cost a few hundred dollars to make a deck. But also, konami has been reprinting a lot of its cards over and over, so a card that was worth a lot, now is worth like $1 [think about say miwok rings were really sought after, then nexon added the alien rings which are easier to get and are kind of a slap in the face]

At least in pokemon nintendo needs to reprint cards since they use a modified rotation for cards, and only certain sets can be used i.e. currently the format is diamond and pearl card sets up to present, and pretty soon, the oldest 4-5 sets will be rotated out and all those cards will be banned from tournament play. So they have to reprint cards, but i kinda like how they only reprint stuff such as trainers, and very rarely reprint an actual pokemon and it's abilities/attacks. If they do, it's usually modified from it's old version (Like blastoise rain dance metagame gets reprinted through feraligatr and stuff).
