What's new on FetchGem -- April 2026

A lot of this update is about making FetchGem easier to browse day to day, especially on mobile. You’ll notice a cleaner menu, clearer labels, a more helpful homepage, and fewer little moments where prices or images felt confusing. We’ve also added a new release dates page, made region and currency choices easier to keep in view, and improved how deals pages carry the right filters through when you click around.

New features

You can now use a dedicated release dates page to see upcoming Pokémon TCG sets in one organised place. Sets are grouped in order, which makes it much easier to check what’s coming next if you’re planning pre-orders, budgeting for a favourite era, or just trying to keep your collection plans straight.

The main navigation has also been reorganised into clearer sections: Collect, Buy, and News. That should make it quicker to find what you actually meant to do, whether that’s browsing cards, checking sealed product deals, or reading the latest posts. “Browse Cards” has also been renamed to “Browse Card Database”, which should be a bit clearer for newer collectors.

On product cards, there’s now a View link, so it’s more obvious how to jump straight into the full item page. On mobile, longer era descriptions and product descriptions can now expand with a show more option, which helps keep pages tidy without hiding useful context.

We’ve also moved the currency switcher into the navigation, including on mobile. If you regularly compare UK and US prices, it’s now much easier to switch without hunting around the page.

Improvements

The homepage has had a proper tidy-up. You can now compare the cheapest booster pack prices side by side for the UK and US, and price-drop sections respect your region more clearly. There are also improved retailer sections, tighter spacing, and simpler deal rows on mobile, so the page is easier to scan when you just want a quick look at what’s worth checking.

We’ve removed a few labels that could be misleading, including preorder and coming soon badges in places where they weren’t helping. Best booster pack sections are cleaner too, with less visual clutter getting between you and the actual prices.

Navigation and text styling across public pages now use sentence case throughout. In plain terms, headings, buttons, and links should feel more consistent and easier to read. Mobile menu section headings also have stronger contrast and clearer weight, so they stand out better on smaller screens.

If you read FetchGem articles on your phone, the blog should feel nicer too. Titles and spacing have been tightened up, regional posts are labelled more clearly, and article pages now use full metadata and British English formatting, including dates.

We’ve also made deal and price posts much easier to discover across the site, with better blog navigation and a new sidebar to help you find related reading.

Bug fixes

A few price and product details should now be more trustworthy. If you click through from deals pages, your region choice now carries over properly, and products only show in-stock offers in that journey. That should help avoid the frustrating situation where a deal looked right on one page and different on the next.

We’ve also fixed cases where deals and product pages could disagree on price. Approved retailer listings are now handled more consistently, so what you see should line up more reliably.

Set cards on hub pages now show the cover card fan artwork instead of a “No image” message, which makes browsing sets feel much more complete. Out-of-stock cost per pack is also shown more clearly in red, so it’s easier to spot when a number isn’t for something you can actually buy right now.

Finally, blog images should behave much better. Thumbnails now keep a consistent shape, and cover images are shown in a way that preserves the full picture instead of awkwardly cropping it.
