Is this the card game or the Gameboy game?
Electronic.
My guess.....all male basement dwelling virgins?
Idiots out wandering about.
i always get weirded out when people my age are into kid stuff like that.
then again i just watched a bunch of GI joe episodes. but that's different, that's GI joe god damn it.
The comments are priceless.
My son, who also happens to be a game design major in his sophomore year was there with a few of his friends. It's a pretty big deal to them. Apparently these were 'The Worlds'. My son participates in an intercollegiate pokemon league as well. These things have a big following and make big money. Go ahead and laugh. I know it's funny.
When I heard about this I was wishing that they had declared the Hynes a gun free zone. j/k I was wishing and hoping that there were people there able to fight back if need be. Seriously, who in their right mind wouldn't be wishing that their kid had a gun as opposed to wishing that it was a gun free zone?
And to those who think these are all a bunch of basement dwelling virgins you would be wrong. Probably more of them on this forum. In fact some of you posted above.
Gameboy?
So now with those two behind bars, who is going to save humanity from this?
Intercollegiate Pokemon League.
My 15 year old nephew went to this and is ranked what ever that means he travels to all the tournaments. I told him that it might be time to start being a man his mother was not happy
So how does this work anyway? Whoever collects the most Pikachu cards wins? Is the convention center filled with vendors promoting the latest in Pikachu technology? I really fear for where mankind is headed.

Cmon dude, youre not allowed to say stuff like that to them anymore, didnt you get the memo??? Im still trying to wrap my head around the Intercollegiate Pokemon League.
A couple dudes I deployed with last time around spent some time on the drill field, molding recruits. They both had beaucoup stories of recruits showing up with Pokemon cards, Magic the Gathering cards ( I dont even know what that one is), and other various crap like that.

Intercollegiate Pokemon League.
Please tell me that your son and his friends at least crush a 12 pack each prior to "competing"
At least I now feel better about my Jiggly Puff and Charmander tattoos. Maybe I will get that Squirtle tat now......
Makes me feel a world better about my time in the Ultimate Frisbee intramural club....
Given some of the weird shit I have been (and/or still am) into, I have ZERO room to be throwing stones re: Pokémon.
And speaking of MtG: just came out when I was in grad school, and some of my colleagues were players. They were coming out with a new release, and I tagged along with them on the trip to the comic book store to buy starter and booster packs. These promptly got plopped in the fire safe and forgotten about. Years later, I remembered they were there. Turns out that "new release" was the MtG BETA release, and these unopened packs were worth thousands of dollars.
