Does anyone still play Pokemon?!

[mallorieGgator]

My husband used to play ALOT and was super competitive when he was a kid. He found his cards during our spring cleaning and now we are playing. Went out yesterday and today and bought a bunch of new cards and we are really enjoying it! lol! Feeling pretty nerdy but what-evs... :wink: Does anyone still play or used to play?

uh...my kids play them...lol....i have no idea how to play. Any tips so I can wow them with some insight pokemon knowledge?

 

[REEFKEEPER10]

We have the game on every system that made one so yes. I'm a big kid at heart. Lol

lol Phil! I would say just being supportive and asking how to play with them would amaze them. :) I know my Mom didn't really let me get involved and thought it was a waste of money so I wish she had been more involved. My husband's Mom was into it with him and he says that that made it really fun for him to have her support. :D

It's not just cards...it's wii games, ds games, and their friends at school talk about it, they sing the theme song....I'm supportive but grades come first...so far she's been an A student so pokemon is fine...:) the kids like to trade cards too...i'm always leary of them being manipulated to give away the best cards...but c'est la vie. Can't worry about everything - gotta let them take their lumps and learn.

The only thing i know is that once in a blue moon my girls will start singing JIG................GLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIii.........PUFFFFFFFFF

jigliiiiiiiiiiii puff.....

lol.
is that my cue to pretend to sleep? or is there a card that can help me???

See you need to practice while there at school so they dont know. Then they will think you know everything. Lol

I loaded one from my childhood on my kindle fire game boy emulator. Played it for awhile. Also relearned how to play the card game to teach my 6 yearold son. still a bit too young for the card game but he like to walk and battle on my kindle

NO! Pokemon proves that there are bigger nerds than reef nerds.

I still own an extensive collection of Pokemon cards. I don't really play them anymore but I get super exited when I see them! I could probably get rid of a debt or two if I sold them off. . . I'd rather be in debt! :tongue:

 

[REEFKEEPER10]

Lol

I don't play the cards, but I have a Soul Silver and X if anyone cares to trade friend codes.

Lol!!!!! Same here. I loved MTG !!!!!!!! My little brother was definitely a Pokemon person.

 

[mfama417]

I still Play MTG competitively but do play pokemon on the gameboy emulators

I still have all of my first printed Pokemon cards from a kid! I knew one day they'd be worth money, I have probably around 10 holographic charizard cards that are worth around 900 each!

 

[Funlad3]

I love the Pokemon video games, but I never had the patience for the card game. The Yugioh card game is my favorite!

A pokemon discussion? Oh yea!
I have yellow, gold and silver on GBP but only play yellow.
I just finished season 1 of the show and am part way into season 2 :)
I have the whole set of first gen cards somewhere. May have to look into how much they're worth :)
