    I agree with this 100%. In fact, I read that 1 player who was versed in coding found that in-game code plainly shows that even before you enter the carousel, the 5 cards you'll draw were pre-selected. No matter which booster pack you choose in the end. Even setting that aside for now, The Pokémon Co. / DeNA Co. would gain zero by adding features that routinely improve rare pull rate %s by the end users of their game. Sorry but the pull %s & your own luck is all you can bet on here guys.
