I don't get it either. My son is 26 and had Pokemon cards when they first came out. He actually was embarrassed to know that they were still in our house because I never threw them out. Kids his age don't seem to be into "stuff". They move around a lot more than we did and seem to enjoy being able to fit all their worldly possessions in the back of a 20-year old Subaru. They really like dogs though. Maybe it's the 30-year olds still living in their mother's basements who are collecting all this crap. I don't know.
But, honestly, if I made a list of all the things I don't understand anymore it would fill a book. The Pokemon phenomenon would certainly be on the list - along with people who drink beer with fruit in it, tik-tok, people who drive in the left lane on the freeway when they aren't passing anybody, and on and on.
