Damn son! These are awesome, might re-ignite my childhood Pokemon obsession. Once at school I dropped this red folder I was carrying and without realising what I was saying shouted out "oh no I dropped my pokodex!"

I thought you were a bit of a closet nerd! You only know 3 Pokemon, really?

I am, but I'm a little bit too old for Pokemon tbh.
I can name Pickachu, Jigglypuff (who I only know because someone has it as an avatar on here) and Squirtle. And Pickachu and Squirtle I think I only know from a Robot Chicken sketch.

Mate, for real, you've come a cropper never seeing the cartoon, but you've fucked your life a bit by never playing any of the GameBoy Games.

Well, I've changed my mind about Ditto, now. The Artist's impersonation looks like the cover of a Korn album.

I remember that, according to "official" trading guidelines (they had books published about that shit), the rate for a 1st edition holo charizard used to range between $100-200.
Man, pokemon.... This makes me nostalgia so hard

Did anyone actually play the fucking game itself? The only thing I ever done with the cards was play flipsies.

Game was fucking intense. A bit too dependent on the energy cards though. Was a bit hard to find true heads who would throw their decks down down tbh.

I tried to get people to play but they would have none of it.
My Brothers an I would every now and then though.
I think I threw a fuckload of them away when I moved house years ago. I had some mental japanse ones and all sorts. Used to go to the comic shop and they would have a display case with holos for sale in! Actually bonkers now that I think about it.

Some of these are funny, like the aboves, but others are just sick.
I know its pokemon and all, but i really wouldn't mind having some of these on my walls. And i'd get the really abstract ones so people dont know i have pokemon on my wall.
