Pokemon infection...

So, everyone seems to be getting into Pokemon.  Is it really that easy/fun?

Its really easy to get into (hence the general lower age of players) but it has a lot of strategy especially in deck building.  Its the #1 selling card game after all   I'm sure next time you are in either Cody or someone can show you how to play.  We sold completely out of starters but will be getting some back in soon.

It's definitely easy.  All the rules can be absorbed in one game.

As for fun, I'd say it definitely is.  It was originally a Wizards of the Coast product, and aside from the obvious power creep, it isn't that different from the old game.  It is rather different than stuff like Magic and the like since creatures are free to get out, energy is given to creatures- not put into a pot- and there's little to no countering or counter chains with cards.  It is styled to be more like the Pokemon video games, so that might give you a better idea of how things might work.  I'd be more than happy to show you tonight, if somebody else hasn't done so already.
