need help with a pokemon gift (im not into pokemon)
(tried to post in the pokemons subreddit but wasnt able to)
hello all! i am not really into pokemon myself, but my older brother is and his birthday is coming up (he’s about to be 26), so i wanted to get him something pokemon related for his birthday. i messaged his best friend, whose he’s on discord calls with constantly, about present ideas and we finally settled on a fake taxidermy Scizor (im so sorry if i spelled that wrong) from etsy that we think he’d like!
i just got in a mail the fake taxidermy Scizor, but i was thinking about getting some small things to give him as well, i just don’t know where to start honestly. the seller also sent a free Japanese Ariados card with my order, so i know i want to get a card sleeve for that, so that it doesn’t get damaged, even if he doesn’t keep it. i was also thinking about getting a pack or two of cards for him to open, but wanted to come here for some more ideas!
also — i’ve seen a few people selling gym badges, but there seem to be a lot of different gyms. is this like a “pick you gym and stay with it, earn all their badges” thing or is it like a “earn EVERY badge at EVERY gym” thing? i have absolutely no knowledge of pokemon, so i’m so sorry if this sounds dumb or anything. i am simply a curious little sister trying to understand stuff to maybe make her brother smile.
