Snippet:
When I was a kid in the late 90s, collecting Pokémon cards was a fun hobby. I'd buy packs, hoping to get the rarest "shinies," or holographic cards. We'd trade with friends and even go to meet-ups to trade cards trying to "catch 'em all" —a catchphrase that defined the franchise that had gone from Nintendo Game Boy to an anime TV show.
