For Pokemon fans that don't know how to play the collectible card game, you'll soon be able to learn by playing on your phone for free. I got to spend time playing an early preview of Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket,

In Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, a trading and battling game heading to iOS and Android devices on October 30, that simple act is profoundly satisfying. It’s essentially Creatures Inc.’s way of making sure you open more.

I have a near-mint first edition Charizard card from the original run of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. I traded for it, about 20 years ago, back when Pokémon was new and I was young and nobody’d even considered that grown adults with too much money would livestream themselves opening booster packs for a game designed to be played by children to make money.
