I believe I should get more pokemon cards. I think this because once they stop making them I will never have a favorite thing that I love and enjoy. I have lots of friends. They all have pokemon cards too. This affects the world because pokemon cards are really popular. Even my twenty year old brother loves pokemon cards, and he collects them. A world without pokemon cards is like a world without internet. Kids just like pokemon, and if they don’t get and they will never be happy for the rest of eternity.
