“ The card and comic book shop killer..... ” -hphillips

“ ACK! I don't do Pokemon. This is from the animated series based on the card game, that involves the card game. ” -captkirk42

“ One of my favorite cards of a starfish in a bedazzled backpack. ” -UKboogie

“ My seven year old, like many his age, is into Pokemon. Watching the XY Cartoon with him a few weeks ago this occurred to me...They have these cute animal creatures as pets, and train them and use them to battle each other. Basically it is a huge accepted dog fighting ring. ” -rmpaq5

“ Oh man how I hate Topps Pokemon cards. When I was a kid in 1999, Pokemon cards were the thing to have. My mom never bought me any cards so I was only able to create a collection of cards that my friends had given me. For Christmas 1999, I got my mom to by me a box of Pokemon cards so I could be able to show them off and play with my friends. Much to my dismay on the morning of 12/25/1999, I opened pack after pack of Topps Pokemon cards, not the real deal Pokemon Trading Card Game. What a bait and switch by Topps to fool mothers into buying this crap! lol Still never ended up getting any packs or boxes of Pokemon cards after that. Don't even get me started on the knockoff brand scooter I got the next year! haha ” -sahal694

“ I refuse to comment on this series of cards and thus perpetuate the silliness that is Pokemon. I wish it would go away, just like this Geodude that just disappeared before I could capture him on Pokemon Go!! ” -Sportzcommish

“ The names of Pokemon are hilarious and not creative. ” -carthage44

“ So why is there a #120 in front of Staryu? Is #120 part of Staryu's name? Are there another 119 different Staryu's? Why does every Pokemon in this set listing have a # as part of its name? ” -C2Cigars

“ Oh, can it be? The thing from 50's japanese scifi movie Warning from space (Uchujin Tokyo ni arawaru). ” -Duke

“ I have no words to describe this. ” -muskie027

All I can think of is the parody of Bill Cosby on the Simpsons with Pokemon. If I knew how to share clips off of the Simpsons World website I would.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

No love for Pokemon.  It's not my cup of tea, but it does represent the era that it is produced.  It's a card, It is collectable, It's OK by me.

I never understood the attraction of Pokemon. Some cards will have numbering on the bottom in small print, but otherwise there's no rhyme or reason that I can see for cataloguing them.
