Ah good for him and his school. I remember when I was in elementary school, they eventually banned the use of Gameboys because of kids sitting around during recess and only playing Pokemon. I can understand the ban for this, as recess is to promote a sort of physical activity after being in class for a large amount of time... but come on, it's POKEMON! I don't think the TCG was ever banned in my school though, granted it wasn't as popular as the video games. I'm actually surprised they didn't ban the whole idea of Pokemon, as it was a Catholic school.
