My 8 year old daughter is Pokemon obsessed. I wish I could find a local group for her to play with, the nearest one is 35 miles away. She loves both the DS game and the cards, a lot of her school friends have the cards but none of them seem to understand the point of the cards or the game, they just collect them to look at.

My husband likes playing those kinds of games so they play together, it's a nice bonding time for them. But man, it never seems to end with how many there are, and how many you need.
