...of your life would be the kids that you bring to this world. Now, this has been itching my mind lately, so I wanted to here what you guys had to say about it.

Tons of parents save valuable pieces of items they enjoyed back when they were growing up. Then, when ready they would share it with their child and let them enjoy it like they did before them. This same concept can apply to Pokémon. From the Pokémon Trading Cards you collect to the plushies, games, and so on. Do you think you'll end up saving these Pokémon pieces you have today for your kids in the future? This way they can grow up playing what you enjoyed before and the both of you can connect over something that seems valued in your lives.

Personally, it's this same thought that has been itching me the past few days to realize that maybe I should save my Pokémon games now and their respective hand held systems for my kids to enjoy later. I'd love to see them playing my old Game Boy Advance and DSi and adventuring through the regions I once went through; catching their own Pokémon and training them.

I think it'll be a fun experience not only for them, but for myself as well. The most I'd get from it is the happiness of my kids and the great memories I had back in my days of Pokémon.

Well considering I plan on doing a lot of traveling, maybe living abroad too, someday I don't expect to keep many things that revolve around pokemon. No doubt the games, game cases, pokewalker, some pokemon cards, figurines, and plushies (if I get more) will be collected but only enough to where I can move them around with me from city to city, apartment or house to house easily.

What I wonder really is where pokemon will be by the time I have kids and they're old enough to understand what pokemon is. I expect that to be sometime in the 2020s, which is an awfully long time in the video game world. So..who knows maybe they'll already be into the pokemon around then and I'll just have to introduce the older ones.

i plan on keeping my Gen IV and V stuff, along with any subsequent ones. (hopefully). i still have a few of my pokemon cards, like the mew they gave away at the 2nd movie. pokemon is way too precious to me to just get rid of, i plan on saving as much of it as a i can for the future little ones. im already 20, so they'd most likely be 2020-25 range as well. hopefully by then the video game industry is alive and well, and i hope they dont go overboard with any crazy future additions that may take away from the original expierience.

Since all I have are the games, and I'm planning on keeping every game I have for as long as I can, of course I'll keep my Pokemon games. If I'm keeping Mario, then I'm keeping Pokemon, as well as the systems themselves. Speaking of which, I need to get a new DS lite soon so that I can actually do more stuff with the games. Hmm.
