Do not feel bad or childish if you have the urge to “catch them all” alongside your children and grandchildren.

The popularity of Pokémon is experiencing a surge thanks to a mixture of nostalgia, social media, and investment interest. The card game spawned video games, television shows, movies, and more. Many parents were their kids’ age when Pokémon made its way to the United States in 1999, following a successful three-year run in Japan. That is part of the reason why the Head Gnome at Gnome Games and The Gnoshery in Sturgeon Bay, Pat Fuge, is becoming a multi-generational game, and its interest is surging once again.

Fuge adds that the popularity and camaraderie of Pokémon players rival that of sports teams and other social activities, with some traveling thousands of miles to compete.

The Gnoshery and 96.7 WBDK teamed up on Monday to host a Pokémon Night for Parents and Grandparents to go through the basics of the game and how to trade fairly. Pokémon cards have become increasingly more valuable, according to a report by Fast Company in February, with some cards going for thousands of dollars. It is part of the reason why Fuge believes some schools are banning the cards because of their high value.  He recommends going to an official Pokémon card dealer like Gnome Games and The Gnoshery to connect with other players and to get the proper support.
