Everyone played Pokemon, nobody played Digimon.
Actually, more people collected Pokemon than played it.

Mike, Etemon was the Elvis-monkey Digimon. Like, my favorite character.

Well, where I was, a lot more kids would've played rather than collected had the school policy not been retarded. If you played cards, they'd confiscate them or something. Same crap applied in Middle School. They were afraid kids would get their cards stolen or something, so the best thing you had to do was do undercover trades or just show some of your cards for bragging rights.

Ha. That's just funny. Imagine their moded-ness when Pokemon came out with all their games and plushes and entertainment. The only Pokemon thing I don't like is the Pokemon TCG. It's dumb and it's weird. I prefer just sticking to the games.

Long ago, when I was a wee second grader, I ran out onto the yard during recess. I was so enthusiastic, because I had finally managed to sneak some Yu-Gi-Oh cards into my backpack and not let my father 'confiscate' them. I ran towards the group with all the nerdy boys who were into Pokemon and all that kid anime. I was like,"Look, look, my Yu-Gi-Oh cards!". They just stared and said,"We don't care about Yu-Gi-Oh, now it's Pokemon!" I was so downtrodden and somber. I got rejected by a bunch of nerds. By Pokemon cards. I guess that's why I'm not so fond of the Pokemon TCG.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is far much better than PokeMon gameplay wise. PokeMon really in a nutshell consisted of playing "Energy" cards each turn and flipping coins. There's almost no strategic element.

During my Freshmen, Sophmore, and Junior years of High School, Yu-Gi-Oh! was commonly played. Some days, Magic would bust out or something rare like InuYasha or World of Warcraft, but it was usually Yu-Gi-Oh! or Magic. One time, some of them were actually playing PokeMon and I was all like "What the hell happened? This game is dead! Did Pikachu stick his hand out of the grave?"

So we played PokeMon that week. No. Wait. That's right. The game sucked. We only played it for two days.

The game was much more fun when I was younger.

Pokemon TGC died along(or sometime before) with the Ruby/Sapphire age. The first base set was so bomb, everyone at my school went ape ##### for Pokemon cards. I remember my brother fishing out a ruined Charizard card in the school toilet, at the time, Charizard was the Exodia of Pokemon.

Don't get me started on Digimon, I still love it to bits, the first 2 seasons were godly. 3 was okay, not my favorite by far. I still play the games as well, Digimon World DS; I highly recommend it if you like Pokemon games. But Digimon World for PS1 still continues to be one of my favorite games in history.

Charizard was the Exodia of Pokemon.

Oh, it truly was. I could never get it during my Elementary years and during the Gold/Silver age, I actually managed to assemble and awesome Fire deck consisting of two Charizards and some Enteis. A few years later, I saw in a card shop, the same ol' Charizard which I had love, NOT HOLOGRAPHIC. It was still rare, but they reprinted the card in a pack or something without making it holographic.

Something about it, make me die on the inside.

I'm pretty sure it was base set #2. My cousin managed to get all 151 original Pokemon cards. I'd love to check them out some time.

I don't think so. I remember base set #2. It must've been some other special pack or a base set higher than #2, 'cause it was around the time I quit PokeMon and Yu-Gi-Oh! just came out.

http://cgi.ebay.com/POKEMON-Charizard-3%2F110-non-holo-ex-ULTRA-RARE-_W0QQitemZ250255432535QQcmdZViewItem?IMSfp=TL0806042072r15023

Check the icon on the card. That's not the base set 2 icon. In fact, I have no idea what set that is.

Ah, it's one of those. They probably re-released it recently.

Anyway, just a random fact I'm throwin' this out there...

Mike, Etemon was the Elvis-monkey Digimon. Like, my favorite character.

'Kay, I'm reaaally sure it ended well after him, with yet another incarnation Miotismon that Cari and TK had to take care of with Angiwomon and MagnaAngimon (so much gayer than Angimon who is the coolest #####er ever).

Anyway the Digimon Tamers season was OK, but I completely stopped watching after it as it was getting BEYOND crap.

No one in my high school played Yu-Gi-Oh or any of that because, well, we were in high school. I have a friend who collected the cards at the time though, but didn't play. And other friends of mine played VS., which at the time was limited to Marvel.

Well, I'll still play just for the fun of it all, and I heard some kids play in college.

Although, I think it's kinda stupid since it is college. High School was one thing, college is another.

Also WIND, if you read, that Charizard was NOT released "recently". I saw that dumb thing around when Yu-Gi-Oh! came out, so I'd say it's about 5-6 years old.

There will always be someone playing no matter their age, it's just that less and less people do the older they get.

I haven't been paying close attention to your Pokemon card discussion but Charizard came out when the TCG first came out. I remember the holofoil being particularly expensive.

Yeah. Well that same Charizard they reprinted into a Non-Holo form. As said before, it's about 6 years old now and when I saw it, I thought it was one of the dumbest things I had ever seen.

I say the same thing about every Yu-Gi-Oh! card Upperdeck prints in a new Structure Deck as a common that was originally Ultra Rare and/or was something I worked hard to nab years ago.

Mike, I made a mistake about the seasons. For some reason I thought Etemon was the start of Season 2 and then those 40 episodes after that with Myotismon and the 8th DigiDestined and whatnot was that the second season. I was wrong, I checked that.

About card games... nobody, not even the nerds, at my high school ever played any TCG's. I mean, maybe they did, but I never once witnessed it. Not once. No Yu-Gi-Oh!, no Pokemon, not even Magic.

Middle school, though, yeah, everyone still played.

Well, it was mostly the card game fanatics that kept it alive at school. Once they all graduated, stopped playing, or switch to Magic, everyone else stopped playing. By my Junior year, there were more card fanatics coming in as Freshmen, but they were complete douches who I'd be willing to bash in the face with a shovel without hesitation. It's still popular, but I'm not playing the game with fags.

And hell, Tourney tards even apply there. You play a simple game and they argue saying you don't know how to play or don't know how to use a certain card, and if you say anything about it, they say "they're a judge at a tournament" like it's supposed to some type of authoritic badge with ANY meaning.

In short:
Tourney Tards ruin Smash Bros.
Tourney Tards ruin Yu-Gi-Oh!
Tourney Tards ruin EVERYTHING.

I am VERY picky when it comes to desktop wallpapers.

Never, ever, ever before in my life have I seen a wallpaper online and desperately wanted to set it as my own.

I've always had to make my own.

I've never actually wanted to set a background I saw as my own. This is a major want.

However, I can't find it. Somebody help me. I'm dying.
