3blue1brownWhat is the probability of prizing a card in the Pokémon TCG?
In this video, we explore how we can use the basic rules of probability to calculate the probability of a given card being prized in the Pokémon TCG.

I'd also like to credit this article, which I read after I finished all of my calculations and taught me that the order of hands and prizes does not matter in the naive case.

Although the subject of the trading card game aspect of "Pokemon" is something intriguing at first and is a great segway to learn some core notions on probability, the visuals of the video are sometimes lacking and the actual motivation and memorability of the video are low.

Given this is for people with little experience in probability, a lot of the calculations given are just given as true without going through the actual math. It also assumes a lot about the Pokemon Trading Card game.

The probability is explained clearly, and relating everything to Pokémon works well. Your animated transitions are way too flashy and distract from your content.

i found this exposition confounding, at first i thought because i did not understand the pokemon game but the narration needs to take more solid breaks for someone like me to follow along and the animations weren't illuminating enough
