Is there a collectable card game based on Pokemon?  
Some pupils at school were playing a card game. it looked pretty basic - then they told me a pack costs £7.50 (about $13), and you have to buy several ‘to get the special cards’.  
Buy a yo-yo instead!

Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

My son’s game boy blue version quit working properly(GameBoy cartridge). Of course, he has red too. It’s much too late to destroy Pokemon. There are millions by now.
