I now have taken my first step in collecting Pokémon cards, on account of my 7yo having doubles he thinks he doesn’t need.
He was so proud of me having my own I could hardly refuse. So far I have the whole of two.
I never was interested in them, or Pokémon in the first place. Maybe it was because I fell just out of the demography when it came out, but more likely because I am just deeply uninterested in the franchise.
McDonalds here actually has them in their Happy Meals right now, which makes them both the most useful toys in a long time, and a dangerous introduction of kids to cardboard crack.
Not that my son would have gotten around that so easy, all his new friends in school seem to play the game, and when his best friend came by he told him he finally has his own. Even though a month ago he didn’t even know the game existed.
