I first became a fan of Pokemon in 1999 when, after seeing the TV show and people in my class at school playing the games at school, I went to America on holiday. While in a toy store, my dad and I saw a child begging their parent for a basic set of the pokemon trading cards. The mother was refusing to buy another set, as they already ...

Where do you start with a craze like Pokemon? It is a franchise that spans trading cards, collectable figures, video games... you name it, there's probably a Pokemon version, be it a full blown collection of items, or just a handful, featuring the most popular ones. Pocket Monsters, to use it's full name, started out because ... Read the complete review

While many see pokemon as an outdated fad reserved for those of 12 and below, I disagree. I was one of the many who was hooked at the beginning of the pokemon fad - my first games being pokemons red and yellow, and my addiction was born from the moment I plugged in the cartridge. The gameplay seems never-ending, with so very much to do. ... Read the complete review

Haha. Good 'ole pokemon! Those cards were like currency in the playground - you'd do anything for the rarest cards. You'd spend all your pocket money on packs of trading cards, hoping against hope you'd be the one to find that card that everybody wanted. There were the common shinies (Machamp, Ninetales) and then the rarest of the ... Read the complete review

I confess that I was completly obsessed with Pokemon when I was 10/11ish and this continued until I was at least 13! The brand became a worldwide success probably like the Beatles, the Spice Girls or well the recent Mamma Mia film. Capturing adorable little monsters and battling them against other trainers in an attempt to beat the ... Read the complete review

It's true. The Pokémon phase has finally ended, after lasting around 2 years (considerably long compared to previous phases such as Power Rangers and Yo-yo's)! I've studied the show and games hardly (I swear, I'm not insane!) and I really don't see how it appealed to basically every kid in UK and USA. If you ... Read the complete review

Pokemon, modern children’s idols and the bane of modern adult’s life. Why? Why couldn’t they just have been a fad, here today gone tomorrow like Tamagotchi or YoYo’s?

I actually think pokemon are not that bad really, My seven year old son really enjoys the cartoon, the trading cards, the gameboy version, the tazos and the list goes on. But with his enthusiasm for this minature creatures came a huge potential for the lesson in value, it soon taught him that all his best cards were not the ... Read the complete review

Pokemon. The pocket monsters. They have been around in the UK for nearly three years now, and nearly ten in Japan, yet they still haven't gone out of fashion! How can this be? They are to me, just like Pogs (i still have all of my pogs. who else remembers pogs??). When they first came out i thought hey were just a passing phase. How ... Read the complete review

Pokemon… The word that will evoke one of two very different reactions, depending on your age (I’m making a big generalisation). Children will jump around excitedly screaming something along the lines of “I want some”. The reaction of adults (parents) will be to get as far away from this money consuming product as ...

Kids everywhere are obsessed with it, boys perhaps more than girls. It's on TV regularly, though you can see more of it if you have Sky channels. The shops have plenty of merchandise to pick up and anyone following it obsessively could spend a fortune on this hobby. When they're not watching it on TV numerous children will switch ...
