Hello! PokePharos here with a short story about how I began my journey into pokemon TCG! After reading (or before), I am interested to know your story and how pokemon TCG makes you feel. If you're having a hard time getting started, you can start off by telling when you started, why the cards are interesting to you, and similar facts. Thanks and enjoy my little story :smile:
In 1999 I began collecting pokemon cards with a few friends from my 4th/5th grade class. I never once played the card game, I only wanted to get each and every card from each set. I stopped collecting around the time the first Celebi card was released, I'm assuming this was around 2001-2002. I'm not positive though.
In 2009 I found my entire old school collection pokemon cards! A close friend of mine and myself began making decks from these cards to learn the game for the first time! After a while of playing we wanted to experience some of the newer pokemon cards. A few months later we were on battle roads with very powerful decks! I'll never forget the feeling. Soon after battle roads I had to sell my collection to help support my son.
At the end of 2012-present I just recently began to play once again. I've never forgotten how happy pokemon cards make me feel and how many awesome memories they bring back to me every time I see them. It's a really fun way to bring friends together and meet new ones. I love the light-hearted feeling of pokemon, along with the competitive atmosphere at tournaments. It's always fun for me and it always will be.
Thanks for taking the time to read my story! I hope it sparked some ideas for you. I would love to hear some of your stories. Thanks!
