Hello, first here is a little bit about me, i was probably 14 or 15 when i was heavy into pokemon and this was 12-13 years ago (i'm sorry i'm all old now) before the very first movie, and well before any new generations. From what i remember you pretty much sought after Charizard(Holo) and Mew/Mewtwo, i want to say it was around 1997 or so when i was into it, had a little part time job and ran to the store to drop $6 for a foil pack (nostalgia!)
Well i got out of pokemon around 2000~2001 shortly after the first movie and i left it behind from there, however i have a daughter who is up and coming and now she's showing an interest in it, naturally my research has lead me to see there are a LOT more than the (what was it 151?) that i remember and i don't even remember half of them, it's overwhelming how many there are now (almost 1000?)
At any rate it almost seems like the card aspect has faded and things have moved more into the digital relm (Correct me if i have the wrong impression) it seems like the 3DS and the online card game are more popular than ripping open a pack to be joyed/disappointed. Either way i watched the old first movie with her (Mew vs Mewtwo) and she just kept wanting to see Mew (My favorite, still is) My wife also caught sight of all this activity and now we are discussing getting back into it with our daughter.
Which brings me to my question, i came across the online game on the official site and while i don't understand the rules completely i would like to know if a board like the one used in that is available anywhere.
Here is a screenshot i took during a match, i was wondering if anything like that existed (google has said not really) otherwise i could justmake a project and building one out of plywood, door hinges(to fold up) and felt carpeting like used on pool tables, it's all available at lowes or home depot and could be fun but it's usually cheaper if one is already made.
