Haha, it's okay. I don't think anyone expects you to memorize every single pokemon and their type...
[Elliot sure hasn't. He only has that mad memorization level for music. Make a poke-rap for all 807 pokemon and then we'll talk.
but holy crap, that sure is a reaction from the present. He had hoped Crow would like it, he knows Crow likes card games, but to see him light up SO MUCH- man, it's such a great feeling. what is this feeling in his chest? Is it...pride?
Weird. ]
Hehe, yep! And don't worry Rean, I dug out my old deck and brushed up on the rules - so I can teach him.
[By the time you two finish your sentences, Crow is halfway through opening the box, looking like a kid who just got caught sticking a hand in a cookie jar.]
Yeah. Have you ever heard of Magic the Gathering or Duel Monsters? It's your deck against someone else's, and there are hundreds of cards you can build a deck from so long as it follows the rules. Like, only three of one type of monster, and I know there are others...
[He digs into his bag and pulls out a ziploc bag with a deck of pokemon cards inside. Clearly they are a few years older and a little worn compared to Crow's new shiny deck, but still good]
Not sure I'd call my deck anything special, but it was fun to play and collect. I mean, I know there's the video games...but I've always had a soft spot for games like this. [Card games, pool, board games ... basically any game that wasn't an actual sport]

You have your own cards?

I'll let Elliot do the actual explaining, though.
