ive been lurking the pokemon tcg "community" and i see endless complaining from people talking about scalpers and resellers and collectors... and i noticed the common thing people say is...>this is disgusting, think of all the kids trying to get into pokemon who just wanna fun, all these people are ruining it for muh kids!This is retarded as fuck, isn't it? pretty sure kids dont give a single fuck about pokemon, this is 100% just poor/cheap millennials copeing about not being able to find pokemon cards at the MSRP, and they're just coping by making shit up about "think of the kids!!!!!!" right?
>>62579708There was only 1 kid in my class with pokemon cards and his family was rich for his timeSo it was never a poor person's hobby
>>62579720literally every kid at recess when I was a kid was trading and playing pokemon cards.It got to the point where every kid was so obsessed, they ignored the bell ending recess, and the principal had to ban anyone bringing pokemon cards to school.Literal cardboard cards are the perfect poorfag entertainment.
>>62579749Make your own cardboard drawings then
>>62579749You must have lived in a white majority suburbkids may be poor, their parents are not
i didn't have my own cards but a friend had 2.5 decks worthi went through them and made another deck made of fighting and leaf typeshad fun
>>62579708alot of kids like pokeman, its one of biggest video game
>>62579708>This is retarded as fuck, isn't it? pretty sure kids dont give a single fuck about pokemonThey do.I from an eurofag country where people are not nesrly as obsessed about pokemon as in the usa and even here all the kids in my family (where no one other than me is an adult gamer) REEEEEEE at their parents to buy them a Switch to play Mario and Pokemon.
>>62579720Trading cards have never been too popular where I'm from (Spain) due to the pack prices. Instead of that we used to collect football "cromos" (basically paper stickers that you would stick on an album and try to get all the players of that season) which costed like 30% as much and were functionally the same as trading cards excluding the TCG aspect (which in the case of pokemon very few people seem to care about).
