Terence Finally Got Pokemon


Thanks to Erik Hemphill who just returned from meetings in the US, Terence finally got 40 (10 cards come in a pack) Pokemon trading cards. He is obsessed with looking at them and learning about their powers. He still cannot really read so I have to read the names that are almost unpronouncable like Bidoof, Spheal, Pichu and Bronzor. There is a Pokemon cartoon on Nickelodeon that he can watch and learn about the characters too.
I had to look up Pokemon in Wikipedia and learned that it was created by Nintendo in 1995 as a video game. The creator is a Japanese electronic game designer.
It's so strange that it is so popular at the French school when there is not one store in Budapest that carries these cards! Everyone has family members in the UK, US, France and Belgium sending them over for their kids. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge!
