Gotta buy all the merchandise

I went to Llandudno with the school many years ago and went in to a little shop and bought a packet, first one out was Blastoise on shiny!

 

I used to con kids out of their cards using him

 

making up rules to a card game that no one made = priceless

My sister was well into these (I'm 10 years her senior so not really my generation), so I developed a spoof trump card game called pokeymen featuring amongst others a toilet that's special attack was the mysterious number 3.

 

I thought it was funny anyway.

Things better than Jokemon.

 

Pro Set F***y trading cards. (I think it was pro set anyways).

WWF Cards.

Marbles

Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow on the GameBoy were all fucking ace when I were a lad. I found an emulator online and played through it again when I was about 22. For a week or two I was coming home from work and playing it for hours on a laptop. Sad as fuck, but my god it’s addictive.
 

Got no time for all the new ones where they introduced hundreds more, but me and Turdsette have been watching the original series on Netflix. Sad as fuck, but my god it’s addictive. Then we found a demo for a new game on the Switch. It’s basically the original game but with 2021 graphics. Fucking hell. I simply have to do it. I’m not paying full whack for it but I know when it gets cheaper and we buy it she’ll get bored and I’ll end up losing hours of my life to it. 
 

Sad as fuck, but my god it’s addictive.

Nothing sad as fuck about it. It makes you happy, enjoy yourself without shame. 

 

For me I recently had a fun experience finding a box of my old stuff from 20 years ago in my dad's house, my 6 year old has recently got into pokemon a bit and his mind was blown by this treasure chest of ancient artifacts and pokemon cards from long before he existed, it's also been great dropping my knowledge on him and being able to name all of the various evolutions off the top of my head, he thinks I'm the coolest dad in the world. 

That's the shit I live for.

Yes! Knowledge is power. I do the same.
 

My little girl sings along with the Team Rocket intro slogan thing that they sing in every episode. It’s boss. I want her to play the new one while I sit there going “No, no, you’ve got to go that way!” and then secretly start a new game on my profile to play when she goes to bed.

She’s (I’ve) got the game for Xmas. 
 

She’s (I’m) headed for the Pokemon League
