I coul...My son and my wife are all into Pokemon ... I could give or take it. I've tried to understand it and I think I have a decent grasp on the overall idea but, like you, I don't really understand what makes a grass type better than a water type or a fire type or any other type there may be. However, just because I don't "get" it, doesn't mean I don't show an interest in it. My son likes to have battles with his Pokemon plushes so we do that together. I also bought him a Pikachu binder and some cards from Target for Christmas, as he always sees me working on my baseball cards and wants to "play cards" too. Next weekend, I'm taking him to the card shop so he can pick out his first pack of Pokemon cards. I don't have to understand it completely, but showing interest in it definitely helps.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300769076865200758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125863439745900937.post-9438387937479355392016-12-08T19:18:30.369-08:002016-12-08T19:18:30.369-08:00I was all gung-ho about Pokemon cards back in the ...I was all gung-ho about Pokemon cards back in the day, but that was now over a decade ago and I have no idea how the sets work today. All I know, is that when I was a kid, the holofoil and Japanese versions were the most coveted - also, first editions. This was many moons ago though.Tony Burbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17916383902665781661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125863439745900937.post-81811846572384070972016-12-08T14:49:00.434-08:002016-12-08T14:49:00.434-08:00I think I am in the same boat as you.

I had no clue...<br /><br />But now he's getting this for Christmas and we can learn it together.<br />https://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-TCG-Learn-play-Discontinued/dp/B01AAUSDVM<br /><br />I think continuing to provide them sports cards that interest them is key. This year my son loved the Olympics cards, sort-of liked Topps Bunt, and didn't care at all about Football. That's OK! His favorite cards are the "shiny" ones...so that means he's going to get some Topps Chrome soon, too. :-) He likes opening packs, which is definitely a commonality between us.
