I hate these little kids and I totally agree with Greg R.  I prefer that in
M:TG there is never anyone at my store that only collects, but when kids
come in for pokemon I can't trade them for anything.  You know what I had a
Charizard, and I sold it.  Who cares about collecting a card if you can't
use it in a deck.  I have maybe 10 rares in my card binder.  When I take
apart a deck my binder is full of Psychic or Water pokemon, and then kids
are like "How come you have so many blastoise/Alakazam/Chansey?"  I try
explaining to them that it is actually a TCG and not just Collectible Cards,
and 1 time a kid actually responded "Thats what those little circle things
are for!"  I think if little kids could grasp the aspect of the cards bieng
a game the Pokemon game would be more enjoyable.  I only know 2 kids in my
community that actually play and thats someone I met off this site, and my
Nephew so I hope they get a Guru program going for Pokemon(People will start
playing and I get free cards YEA!!)
