So here's my post about Pokemon, a franchise that took over a large portion of my childhood- more specific forth and fifth grade. Back then I was only interested in the cards and the television show; I never had a game boy. Bulbasaur was the first card I ever got. To this day he is still one of my favorites.
When I was younger, I always wanted the cute Pokemon cards- Jigglypuff, Vulpix, or Togepi. We never actually played the card game. At least not by the rules anyway. We'd compare HP, attacks, and rareity and decide who won from there. We were more interested in trading the cards for the ones we thought were the best looking.
I think the television show is what sucked us into it. At the time, I didn't have WB, the station that played Pokemon every day at three. But I found ways around that. I'd watch the videos or try to end up at my grandma's at three o'clock if we didn't have school that day. We'd also play make believe. I was always Misty, my favorite human character on the show... well maybe besides Sabrina. We made a rule that if your character had a Pokemon, you had to have the card for it. We'd pretend the cards were our Pokeballs.
Now, I'm still a little obsessed with Pokemon. Since I got my 3DS, I've put more time into Pokemon Black than any other game. Every once in a while a need to collect the cards come back to me too. I have all the orginal 150 except for one card, which unfortunatly is Charizard. I used to have that card, a holo too. But I traded it like an idiot. I patiently await the next game to come out, so I can finally play Pokemon in 3D, but untill then I'll try to catch 'em all in Pokemon black.
