Who started the entire craze anyway? I'm looking to sue the responsible person.
I posted the below reply in the TCard thread that was posted in the Questions & Feedback section of PC. I guess you missed it... So, to answer your question:

Trainer Cards was a craze. A craze which sopmeone started. They, unlike Pok?mon, don't last very long. But why promote it so it lasts forever? It's a mere joke.
1st off,
I started the "fad" as you like to call it & whether it truly is a "fad" remains to be seen. You can't actually call anything a fad until it has died, unless of course your stating your opinion. Is that what your doing Satoshi-kun, stating your opinion?
Furthermore, I'm not sure if you were referring to the sub-forum or the TCards, but either way, I don't appreciate my "fad" being called a "mere joke". I put a lot of time & effort into making TCards for people when I 1st introduced them to PC. Though I no longer make them for people, JKaizer is currently continuing my efforts & it should be noted he is also spending a lot of time making TCards.
Maybe you didn't realize this, but TCards have been beneficial to PC. How you may ask? - New members. When I was still making TCards I got so many PMs from people who had just registered wanting a TCard. They'd ask, "Hi! I'm from Serebii forums. I hear your making cards for people here at PC... Can you plz make me one?", or something very similar. Sometimes I still get the occasional new member PM TCard request.
TCards aren't just for getting new members to register to whatever board they are being made on though. Members love them because they express their love for Pokemon in a more personal way via card customization - B-dates, Real names, Pets name, Fav Pokemon, Hobbies, etc.
So *Takes a deep breath* I wish you wouldn't make light of something I'm proud of creating. *Breaths out*

Okay, I'm only joking at that point. The topics appearing everywhere is just angering me though. Questions and Feedback, Technical Institute, where else? @@;;
Come now Satoshi-kun, this is a Pokemon forum after all. I'm sure you know that the majority of the posters here are around 9 - 12 years old. Short attention span anyone? They find it boring to read FAQs & Rule threads. They prefer figuring out things as they go rather than save themselves from being scorned by Admins. I'm not saying that?s right, but little annoyances like that do come along with being a part of a forum geared towards younger kids.
Why am I even saying all this? I don't know... I guess I'm in a "Give Satoshi-kun a hard time" mood or something. XD
