Is It Any Good?
Clear simple games, seasons' worth of Pokemon shows and tons of information on the hundreds of Pokemon characters create a one-stop shop for all things Pokemon. If kids can tune out the sales pitch and get through the marketing hubbub, they may actually learn from the organization and negotiation skills that Pokemon play requires. Even better, they can get info on in-person events to meet more Pokemon fans in their area.
