Pokémon has a multi-media empire that is recognized by the world. There are video games, trading cards, tv series and movies that have entertained us throughout the years. The first introduction to Pokémon was through the video game. The popularity of the series has made it one of the most popular series in the gaming world. Pokémon has influenced us fans for so many years. The fictional world is intriguing in the best possible way. What started off as a Nintendo game has become a multi-media franchise that has different ways of engaging with fans. The shift from a Nintendo game to trading cards was a success.
When the trading cards first released, we were so excited to buy a pack of cards with hopes of getting our favourite Pokémon. The thrill of opening a pack of cards is kind of like opening your Christmas gift. Some of the fanatics equate some cards to treasure. There are glossy cards that are completely look and feel different than most cards. Chances of finding a shiny card are incredibly low. There are a few rare cards that are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The worth of some cards grows with time. Hardcore fans would never sell their treasured cards no matter how much money they are offered.
Another Regionals stream means we're joined by a fantastic group of expert commentators! See you in Vancouver!
