I’m a mom of an 8 and 4 year old boys who just got into Pokemon in the past year. I was not really a fan of pokemon until we went to Japan where Pokemon was everywhere. So we got a box set of cards from the Pokemon Center in Tokyo Station but of course it’s all in Japanese. No idea what the cards mean or “do”. Are they deemed more “valuable” compared to the English ones? I’m curious bc I don’t want my kids losing them if they are considered special and brings them memories of our trip.

And why are pokemon cards so viral now? I see so many videos of grown men fighting over them which is ridiculous. We have a local Book-off store (Japanese resell book and toy store) that are selling individual cards for $1 each and you can pick and choose whatever you like. So I don’t understand the craze behind this.

Anyone know what else they will be releasing in June? I see they have playground balls but is that all?

Also side vent, I wish Target makes all of the merch available to purchase online instead of store exclusive. Some working parents have no time to go to the store nor have the energy line up early in the morning. And these scalpers really take the joy out of true Pokemon fans. And honestly what’s the hype around that blue Kanto jacket?
