Lol me and my friend found my old pokemon games and we are replaying them they are so class!

Does anyone here remember the good old days where we were all addicted to pokemon

Ooooh yes!! It annoyed me, I remember when some one at first school swapped that Alakazan or whatever for £10 and got told off by the headmaster. The program was alright but the cards...argh! But yeah I remember lol.

YES! And everyone wanted the chara something card. Big red dragon. Can't remember his name.

Charizard?? Charmander?? Charmelion?? Summat like that.

yeah! charazard!, and 10 pound for a piece of paper :|ol: fun

Charizard

I've still got some 'shinies' in my drawer upstairs - I couldn't bear to throw them away

Hey cards have gone into £1000's!!

I hated Pokemon...and still do!

Thats one thing that annoyed me...people calling them "shinies" THEY'RE HOLOGRAMS!!!

Speaking of random crazes - did anyone else get the yo-yo craze? It was when I was in Year 5-6, so about 6-7 years ago now.

ive got all my "shinies" in the drawer too, theyre probably worth a bit now since they stopped making them

Yeah I had that! They were banned!

What about Pogs!! LOL!

And remember those diabolo things? (Dunno how you spell it )?! They were cool!

Oh god yes...I got one shortly before moving back to Liverpool from East Yorkshire, and had it with me in school on my last day there, that day EVERYONE was really nice to me after 6 years or so of bullying me...and being the nice guy I was/am, I let some people who asked to use my yo yo use it Fortunately I got it back, and lost it 2 weeks later, never found it.

P.S. Oh god Pogs, my childminders daughter in Yorkshire was OBSESSED with them! Had about 1000 of them!!!

Dunno what "diablo" thingys are? :S don't remember them

"SHINIES"

that brings it all back. Good times.

My brother got really into it for a brief time, and bought a Black Mamba, which was just the nicest, best-looking yo-yo ever, but it got stolen Still got the old Brain, X-Brain and Firestorm yo-yos though

POGS ARE WICKED!!! lol, I always wanted more, but mum wouldn't go and get me any

I remember being addicted to Pokémon back in Year 4/5. I think I still have those Pokémon cards somewhere!

Car Expert

Pokemon was my life! Had all 151 Pokemon on Blue version I did... Think I've got almost the full set of the original Pokemon cards somewhere too...including the elusive charizard!

Those were the days!

And diablo? Isn't that Greek/Latin for Devil?

Spanish

I HAVE ONE!!! they're soooo fun!!!.....but I'm rubbish at it. It's still very enjoyable watching people that are able to!!!

AND I still have a pristine collection of pokemon cards in a collectors file...im assuming it will be worth quite a bit more later on so I'm going to hold onto them for a bit before theyre sold on...EBAY!!!

YES DO IT!

Sell on ebay now...or later?

I'd sell later. They don't seem to be going for great amounts yet, despite what they're 'worth':

Yes, I remember the pokemon craze, I wasn't into it as much as some of my friends but I think I still have all my cards somewhere.
And I remember the yoyo craze, still have mine but can't use it.
As for diablos, they name does mean devil and I can see why. I haven't used mine for about 2 years but I used to be able to do all sorts of trick.
Thoses were the days.
Makes me feel old when people say 'whats pokemon?'

i jus found my collection of pokemon on the boxing day last year.....
now i dont know whether i should throw it away or keep it.

that cards were useless...i dont know why i waste so much money on it last time

Yes I remember that. What are pogs??

POKEMON! I remember bringing my whole collection which filled up about 4 pockets! I had loads of shinies and also that limited addition Mew that you got when you saw the movie.

I remember pogs! They didn't last long in my school though.

Oh yeah, yo-yos, I was rubbish at it and hit the teacher in the family jewels on the playground lol.

There was also a marbles craze in my school, I remember knocking them about everywhere.

They're little cardboard/platic discs, but I don't actually know how to play 'cos I just used to collect them and nothing else . It was something to do with using the "slammies" ( ) to break up the pile or something random like that! lol

Okay???? LOL. I don't remember coming across those.

Nor do I.

Car Expert

I remember I had a metal Chupa Chups 'slammie' that used to kill everything!

Didn't have a clue what the rules were though. Same with Pokemon cards too actually; I think the rules were a bit more advanced than the way we used to play!

I think you mean "swap" Matt

I remember I used to go round the yard saying "got, got, got, got, need, got, need, got, got, got, need... etc"

LOL

I think the worst craze was when tamagotchis hit the schools in year 3 or so. They annoyed me loads, cos I had, still do in fact, a real dog, and all my friends were saying that these things were better!
Did anyone ever have tazos, or something? Came in crisp packets, scenes of Star Wars? I loved those things, had them all, even the rare Dorios only ones.

How do you get Pikachu on a bus??

Poke 'im on!! Hehehe....

I really wanted a tamagotchi and NEVER got one!!
Yeah, and tazos, i had loads!! You could put them together and they made a picture!!

Pokemon was fun though...my mum refused to let me buy stickers and cards because they were a 'waste of time and money' but the show was fun..

I had a tamagotchi, I was really entertained then I lost down the back of my Auntie's bed and never found it, then I bought one about a year and a half ago and I got bored with it and lost it.

cough *sad* cough Only joking bruv

I was in a silly mood at the time, I think.....

Ya think?!

Hehehehe...

I had one box of Pokemon cards. Mum wouldn't let me have any more.

Wait...mum wouldn't let me have Pogs either....I'll ask dad next time

I've got one box worth of Pokemon cards, and loads of Pogs, but don't know where they are Oh my gosh!! Crazybones!! LOL

what are pogs?

Crazy Bones!!! They were funny!

What are crazy bones?

They're little plastic things that you flick around....

Hopper Poppers?

*confused*

Oh Crazy Bones are silly little warped figures that used to come in crisps...

marbles!!! in year 5 our school went through a MASSIVE phase of marbles

Mine too. It was all about the trading of them though, nobody ever "played" marbles. I found it all a bit odd

we played with ours (marbles hehe! sorry) basically who ever got their marble knocked out of the circle first lost, i was never any good

How can you trade MARBLES

Person X has a very nice-looking marble. Person Y has several not-so-nice looking marbles. They swap aforementioned marbles, so that their positions are reversed. They then question why they value these marbles. They don't know. Marbles go out of fashion. Craze over.
