Me, i guess?

The first memory I have of Pokémon might not be the video games, the series, or the plushies; those are all things that came up later. My first memory must be those beautiful and vibrant cards depicting the weird little creatures. I remember the thrill of opening a new booster pack, exchanging the cards like my life depended on it, trying to get the prettier and rarer ones. Then, of course, came the series (I didn’t have video games yet) and everything else.
What I find so beautiful is how they kind of were a way to connect with older cousins and friends because they had been around when they were the age I was, and they still had many cards and games they would let me use.
