Pokémon has been something that will always hold a special place in my heart for helping my family get through some tough times. My husband, Brian, and I started collecting Pokémon cards shortly before our youngest son, Dylan, was born. From there, our obsession has grown! Brian has done all of the selling and seeking out cards online to complete collections. We both have been buying the new Pokémon products coming out and have a pretty elaborate collection of tins, pins, coins and others. It’s been one of the few things that help us get some time together, just the two of us, in our crazy schedules. With the amount of time we have spent in hospital and at appointments, one of my good friends suggested I get Pokémon GO to help as a distraction and to help pass the time. While my husband does the card collection and selling cards, opening new packs of cards with him and Pokémon GO has been fun for me!
