     To encourage parents and grand parents to have some positive interaction with their child(ren) on a common topic by showing interest and even owning their own set of cards and playing the Trading Card Game with them.

     To help parents and grand parents know which Trading Card Game products to buy for their Pokémon fan.

Kids, you may want to start with the "Pokémon" page or the "Cards" page then work your way down the links on the side bar on your left.
