I'm not quite sure why, but this year both of my children requested that I make them Pokemon Valentine cards to pass out at school. I've heard quite a bit about Pokemon lately, and it's really not my thing. My son is quickly learning about attacks and defenses and the names of countless little monsters; and I just have to smile because it's all Greek to me. I wonder if there's an Idiot's Guide to Pokemon? Hmmmm.
I'll be right back, I need to Google that...
Yup. A lovely person created one here.
My two are into the video game rather than the card game, but at least it's a place for me to begin. Anyway...
I love that they both had very specific ideas about the graphic design of their cards. S was very clear about having a bubbly blue background, and K knew precisely what she wanted her card to say. Thank goodness I was able to make them both happy.
If you happen to have a little Pokemon fan at home, feel free to download the full-sized images below. They are big enough to print out as a standard 4 x 6 inch print. They are large images, so don't worry that the entire image doesn't show up here, it will all be there when you download it.
Pokemon, Frillish and Purrloin are owned by the Pokemon Company, International.
I have a very soft spot for Pokemon - my son got into it in Grade 1 and it made him a reader. He devoured the chapter books and never looked back from reading, even if Pokemon did fade out in another year or so!
ReplyDeleteBeen there! My son was into the card game, the video game, the TV show and the books. I had to learn to "speak Pokemon" when he started buying me my own Pokemon cards for my birthday and Christmas!
