It is no use denying it, Love them or hate them, Pokemon Trading cards are big! They have played a big part in our life this year, we have been to no less than six Trading Card League events. I have to praise these events because for Pokemon fans they are a real treat. The events are free to enter and the first thing you get is a bag of goodies just for going in. This bag contains a collectable card which is not readily available elsewhere. Once inside the kids can play card games with other players winning points on a card. Once they have enough points they get to play one of the more expert gym leaders and earn their badges. If they get fed up of playing cards then they can play on many of the nintendo systems set up, usually featuring brand new games. There is also a chance to enter competitions to find the best game player. Often at the leagues you also get the chance to download a rare Pokemon onto your gameboy console. All in all they make for a very entertaining day out for the kids. If you are a parent I suggest you learn how to play too or you could end up spending a lot of time just waiting around. The leagues are held all around the country, for details of an event near you, you can check in one of the many Nintendo or Pokemon magazines available. In the Nintendo Official Magazine they feature photographs of the children taking part in the events.
Advantages: Gameplay galore and a lot of fun to be had, a good hobby. Disadvantages: Kids know more about Pokemon than they do about geography, now, a bad thing indeed.

Review of Pokemon
Advantages: Highly customisable, promotes social interaction,, popular (for the moment) with the children Disadvantages: Prices in the West are ridiculous. Some cards no longer available. Odds of getting premium cards too high.
