How popular was Pokemon TCG in your school?

[iTech]

Pokemon wasn't realy popular when I was in school. We usually just played soccer, basketball and "anal sex". (The challenge was to get the teacher to join in!)

But in all fairness, I'm in my mid-twenties so I was pretty old when the game was released.

I remember trading one fake card I got in France for some kid's rare Victreebell!

Just realised that this thread is about the cardgame, not the videogame.
I only have one eye and part of my brain has being stolen by chinese neurology students when I passed out after straining to fart in Shangai's annual ''thunderpants'' festival, so it happens.

Nonexistent. I'm serious. Nobody knew what it even was.

We had the "no pokeman" rule too (I nearly shat myself laughing when the principal said "Pokemans" over the intercom)
Beyblades was 10 times as big though, and chalupa, you're right, Drigers are GREAT. I've still got mine in my closet. I was the kid who imported all his stuff. So everyone was just getting the dragoon, dranzer, etc. F forms, I got a driger V2. It was so fun to just tear people apart, I actually broke 2 or 3 other people's blades. Ah, good times.
