It's funny because I'm in my early 40s and Magic is a kiddy version of AD&D to me. I can't see the appeal of trading cards for gamers. My memories of MTG are little kids running around with their decks when I was in college.
That's strange to me since they are nothing alike from my point of view. Often enough, from my experience, P&P players and magic players were often the same people. I never played D&D.

I can see the comparison between MTG and Pokemon, but D&D? Entirely different game.
That said from what I am told WoW has a full pokemon copy as a sidegame? Friend of mine did nothing but that for what felt like months. Did a ton of content he didnt touch before just to get mini pets etc. He made it sound interesting too, I would have checked it out if I had free access to my WoW account.

Yes, it's extremely well developed and fleshed out and, sadly, is more fun than most full-fledged MMOs.

Apart from the fantasy theme, they're nothing alike to me either. And yes, in the early years of MtG, both games were played by the same folks. It's no accident, since Richard Garfield developed the game as something for people to play in a very impromptu fashion at RPG conventions. Ironically, the popularity of MtG with the PnP crowd was a factor in the eventual demise of TSR. The few hardcore PnPer's I knew who didn't play Magic absolutely despised the game for pulling so many people from their playgroups.

I played pokemon red/blue and enjoyed it. When I think back on it now I remember the "collect them all" part was aaddictive as hell but only jut the beginning of the game. There was a serious deck building side where you really need to think about what you wanted to play and in what orderwhich depended on what you were facing (which could get complicated in multi round battles). Then there was evolutions and skill choices. If I remember right you didn't always have the same skills and could sometimes change them. Also some creatures evolved in some really radical ways.
I just remember this game with a deep RPG element combined with addictive games play and decent difficulty especially if you went off the beaten path.
And then it had multilayer.
Nostalgia is telling me I need to find my old copy if I can.

I remember waking up early before school just to watch Sailor Moon, Samurai Pizza Cats, and Dragonball Z. Then on my first day of Junior High a new anime came on. When the opening guitar rift played I experienced my first erection. Something I will never forget and to this day, the Pokemon theme song touches a part of my mind I associate with the thrill of leaving home on an erotic adventure.
Fifth period I sat next to a girl three years older than me but still in 7th grade. She was returning to school after giving birth to her second child over the summer. We became easy friends, and when the lights went off for the in-class movie her hand slid down my pants and her fingers gripped my manhood.
September 8, 1998. That was a glorious day.

Pretty sure he's saying that right before school pokemon came on. And now everytime he hears the theme song, his body remembers his handjobs he got in class from the school slut.

The type that results in 15 year old second time mothers in 7th grade. Over/under on the number of teeth that chick has now at 8 and I bet they all "parental consented" out of sex ed.
I bet the high school had a nursery. Just like mine. Because birth control would inspire sexual activity. Has nothing to do with teenagers being horny fucks.
