My kids ages 13 (boy), 10 (boy) and 8 (girl) love the game!! It is so great to have them bring their decks and play each other, especially if they know they have time to kill like when mom and dad are at band practice. Our family LOVES card and tabletop games.

It's sort of amazing how much knowledge about this game they can collect.

My son plays the video games non-stop and watches the TV shows in addition to collecting the cards. They don't really trade but my son and his friends act out Pokemon by pretending to battle. I love it! They are creative but have to drawn on their knowledge which is like a vast database of their Pokemon's powers and strengths.

Needless to say, I had to read for entire year, Pokemon directory books in order for my son to collect this knowledge. Not the most exciting plot but still fun. He's impressed I can identify at least 100 Pokemon!

Maybe it never will! That might be good, actually...

I love that they are making up their own version. Very creative.

For my youngest, it's definitely about the bigger kids!

I don't really get it, and honestly, neither does he. But he loves them anyway (probably because the older kids he hangs with after school play them).

Never in a million years would I have thought they'd come back. I agree with you though beside the expense, I like them too. My kids are doing many of the things you described. They even started making up their own version called Treacy-mon.
