Pokemon Cards

[Pike]

Did you collect these, and if so, did you actually play games with them? Or just collect them?

I still have a whole bunch in special plastic sleeves in a binder.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I have a binder full of them still, and I probably have boxes of energy cards and other unimportant ones. I had more Yugioh cards though since I actually played that game.

I played the Gameboy version of Pokemon TCG, and it was great fun. I only played with the actual cards one time with a friend the day I got my Charizard card. I just really like collecting them.

[Shorty]

I just collected. The ones I have are 15ish years old. I don't have many left, but the ones I do have I keep in my special keepsake box. The holographic Blastoise card was my most prized possession as a ten-year-old.

I have a ton of them still. I played when I was able to find someone to play with. I'll still throwdown if there was someone to play! My psychic deck will destroy EVERYTHING!

Apparently the original Pikachu is worth some dough now.

*��. I used to collect them.. Never played. My very first boyfriend nabbed me a togepi, rare snorlax, and like a rare clefairy for my bday.

sigh... I don't have any of them anymore now.

[StarCross1988]

I have a ton of Pokémon, Digimon, and Yugioh cards still. I never actually played the game, I'm a collectoholic at heart. :3

[Perducci]

I had an insane amount as a child. No idea where they are - some other kid probably stole them.


We sell them in work and though sometimes I can be tempted, I'm not really that interested anymore.

The Pokémon trading card game on Gameboy was awesome, though.

[Masamunemaster]

I found about 300 cards my mom had in a box for me...I need to go through them. From first glance I know there was 2 different mewtwos, a japanese eevee, two entei promos, an articuno promo, and zapdos promo.

[escobert]

Do people actually buy them anymore?

[Old Manus]

I remember nagging my parents to let me in on the fuss and they finally bought me a packet, which contained a shiny Zapdos. I was the coolest kid in school for a week before I traded it for a Ryhorn, Kadabra and Dugtrio in the worst decision of my life to that point.

[Miss Mae]

I may or may not still collect these. I played the game a handful of times, but I got sick of taking my nicely sorted cards out of their plastic sleeves to create decks, so I stopped. I absolutely love Pokemon cards though. Anyone with a pile of them they do not want anymore should immediately post them to me in order to declutter their lives.

[Aulayna]

I just collected them. No idea how the game actually worked, though I imagine it wasn't too different from MTG. But yeah, I was a collector through and through.

Best memories:

- going to a local corner shop with my Nan and my Nan bought me a few packs. The lady behind the counter asked me where I wanted them from, and I just said "from the top of the pile is fine." Apparently this was pretty unusual as other kids believed the best packs were in the middle, so she was constantly made to dig packs out of the box. So anyway, I got the ones from the top of the pile. Opened them, Charizard and Zapdos :3

- finding a Dark Raichu in my first ever Team Rocket booster pack.

I think my Mum threw out my collection when I moved to Ireland though, along with most of my stuff I didn't take back within the first few trips

[Pumpkin]

I collected them. I had this pretty red Pokemon card holding binder and I loved it and now I miss it and want to collect Pokemon cards again

[escobert]

I just collected them. No idea how the game actually worked, though I imagine it wasn't too different from MTG. But yeah, I was a collector through and through.

I actually think it's much more fun than MTG. less rules, much more straight forward. It was very fun to play against someone who actually tried.

[DarkBahamut]

Me and my brother play games against each other haha
