Pikachu and the Pokemon Cards

With many cartoon shows including little beasts, trading cards soon came out.  Of course pikachu was one of the first cards made and i was excited at first about it. Then after a while more and more pokemon cards came out establishing the first and original 150 pokemon. Then they started making holographics and I was still happy with it, especially when my friends traded me a holographic pikachu for a non holographic charizard. Then they went a step farther by making dark pokemon and I knew that it was getting out of hand. The creators of the pokemon cards took it to yet another step creating Team Rocket pokemon cards. There were now 4 different kinds of pikachu cards and they ended up making another design for the original pikachu so there were 4 main types and a remake. I remeber looking at my cards and just losing hope.  When they first had just the 150 pokemon i was excited to collect them all then they just started making more and more variations of them.  Nowadays there are about 4 generations of pokemon and Im glad I gave up at such a young age.
