Every Trainer has an origin story. What first got you into Pokémon - was it the anime, games, cards, or something else?

    It was actually toys from McDonalds. I got a Pikachu that lit up when you rolled it around and a card. After that I asked my mom for more cards. After my collection began I wanted to see where they came from and I found the anime. I started in the X and Y era of Pokémon, but didn't start playing the video games until Sword and Shield. Long story short, McDonalds,

    I had a childhood friend who collected the cards and introduced me to the Anime series!

    It was the cards first in 2017. After a few years, I started playing Black and White. I've been playing the games for hours ever since!

    When I was in kindergarten someone brought in Pokemon cards and was giving them out, and after I got one I was interested in collecting more. From there I got super into Pokemon as a whole!

    It's a bit funny though because the thing that got me into Pokemon was of all things a root fossil
