    Yeah, I just got here. xP

    @RHCP - Chris is heading to the Oak Town Pokemon Center. Maybe Xylo could meet him there... And somewhat bump him when exiting the Center... How's that sound?

    Ok! I'll make him bump into Chris maybe in the next post.

    • So, today while I was doing random things (Such as relaxing after coming home from a con and playing TF2), something hit me. A question that seems like something that's completely obvious, but I've never heard it spoken, or generally talked about. So here is my question...

    Is there Pokémon Trading Cards within the Pokémon world? There's plushies, and it's only logical that corporations would merchandise the hell out of Pokémon, which it already has been in-game. (I've seen several NPCs with shelves stocked full of Pokémon goods).

    I was thinking that this could be brought up because there are kids who aren't able to get a Pokémon, or too young for it, and it'd be obvious that they would start to collect them. Could add something extra to the Academy, in case someone would want to start this up. Could be easier to talk to other people IC'ly as well, due to the whole "Wanna trade cards?" thing. Could even retcon it and make the cardgame a non-battle one and just a collection thing. What do you guys think?

    I've actually never thought of that xD Sounds plausible enough.

    • @WestsideConnection: Approved. Welcome back!~

    @Sir Bastian: Eh... Cards... for battle? Is this Yugioh? I think they thoroughly exhausted taking children's card games that seriously. Regardless, no that doesn't feel in the spirit of pokemon. Pokemon has never been like that to my knowledge.

    Besides, in the pokemon world, even if people did collect pokemon cards, they'd probably be exactly like baseball cards instead of the game we know here. Perhaps with interesting factoids on the card.

    Yeah, that's exactly what I mean! I mean that instead of them being like we know them, they would be more collectibles, and not have anything to do with card battles. After all, you can watch the real deal on TV, or go to a battlefield somewhere and watch some trainers duke it out :P

    I do mean the way that you're saying it, maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. But that just seems like a logical thing to be in the world. But more for the younger audience, those who can't catch Pokémon yet, but are still into it? Am I rambling here?

    Actually, I would agree with the idea. I mean, the kids that are far too young to adventure with pokemon and dream of doing so would probably go out and try to "collect them all". The little information panels would teach them before they actually go out, and they would learn all of the species.

    I do recall in the TV show (the original, I'm sure) that there were one or two trainers with 'Pokemon Cards'. Though they weren't for card battles, they were for collection and for information regarding the Pokemon.


    Actually, I think PTA should have a "Trading Card Club" just for such an occasion!

    Kiyoko, disguised as a small boy, might actually become obsessed with something like that, even though he can't read.

    Did anyone else ever collect Pokemon Cards just for the pictures?

    • Why... would there be a card club...? I mean really. What purpose would that serve in a school for actual trainers? I certainly don't recall a baseball cards club in any school /I've/ been to. Can you even manage to spend hours on simple cards with details on them? Owo

    Have collectible cards if you like, but this is a school for pokemon. Not cards. owo

    You know, just for the player characters that might take up an interest in the cards. The information on the cards provides teaching in and of itself. :o

    • ...Minimal information all the teachers would probably know. >> There might be a 'club' in Oak Town. A very small thing, because I can't imagine the cards being all that popular without having an actual game behind them. That and Oak Town isn't exactly huge to begin with.

    I immediately immagined a bunch of jocks trashing the place. What movie have I been watching too much of?

    Also, for my sanity. Please, no cards with magic powers or card related magic. That's all I ask. lD

    • Yeah, it's for fleshing out characters and stuff. I mean, it's not a school for drawing either, but Daniel draws. Characters needs to have likes and dislikes, hobbies and such. Collecting cards could be a hobby for some, but obviously, some aren't going to bother with it.

    It's just an option for those who want something extra for their character :3
