I had pogs but they kind of fell out of style by the time pokemon hit my school so no pokemane pogs for me.

Yeah, pogs were practically nonexistent by then. Hell, it would be easier to find Digimon merch at that time.
fucker unlocked a repressed memory, shit was biiiiiig in my primary school, everyone was collecting them
my school then banned them because kids were effectively gambling with them lol
Everyone's school banned them because I'm just guessing there were local news reports about kids gambling with them and parents assumed it was going to lead to Satanism.
weird enough, my school was designated a catholic school and they didn't ban it for satanism lmao
In my school we actually kinda did gamble with them, but very low drama so they never were banned. I liked them a lot, I was super into pokemon as a kid, despite not even having played the games.
I think i was the only one collecting them at my school, ate so many cheetos i got the whole collection on my own but Match Attax were big and got banned cos kids would steal them off each other
OH MY FUCKING GOD MATCH ATTAX
Those were huge in the early 2010s, I never cared for them but even more people cared for those shitty cards than for the Pokemon Pogs
Jesus you are making me remember all this stupid shit we had as kids. Fuuuck.
EDIT: No one even played the game, nor knew how to. They just collected the cards.
Did you ever play top trumps? Only card game we knew how to actually play other than uno. Although i mostly got them cos i liked looking at the pictures and reading the stats
Never heard of it
we called those tazos, good times.
Wait are those not Pokemon condoms?
