Title: A question of collectability Post by: Sauza12 on July 12, 2004, 11:14:30 AM Over the weekend I went to a bunch of garage sales and nearly every one that I went to had some Pokemon stuff. This got me to thinking; is Pokemon considered video game memoribilia or has it gone so far mainstream that it is now considered television memoribilia? What do you guys think?
Title: Re: A question of collectability Post by: thx1138 on July 12, 2004, 12:19:06 PM I always advertise any Pokemon video games stuff in a second non video game forum - usually a specific Pokemon forum.
I think it's just natural. Like a Dr.Who slot machine sold for a stupid amount of money on eBay, because all the sci-fi fans were bidding on it in the Dr,Who category. The coin-op collectors wouldnt have paid that much for one!

I'd say Pokemon is a category unto itself. Title: Re: A question of collectability Post by: danvx6 on July 12, 2004, 06:26:27 PM actaually the games spawned the card game and television show, but i see what you mean, pokemon does belong in its own category
