[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my DS Pokemon is an exercise in negotiation. He doesn't really care as much about the cards as he does the deal making which he considers the "game." He's made some good trades and some that you dads might get upset about. He also regularly gives away cards, even really good ones. He's not gullible but generous.

You are entirely missing the point about a parent being involved.  It is about learning to play the game and helping them practice.  Its a game, not just to trade cards or give away to make friends.  Its sad that parents are so anti-helicopter that anything that involves hands on parenting they choose to call it helicopter parenting and do not get involved.  Take the time to learn the game and teach your child if friends or others have not taught them.  Its kinda sad to buy the kids the cards and they have no idea how to use them.  As another poster pointed out, there is a lot of positive skills involved.  (and some mom's have learn and understand the game.)[/quote]
