Yeah it was huge. But It was normally targeted at the younger audience tho, (5-14). I remember at my school they banned Pokemon Cards but their was like this black market thing going on. It was kind of weird looking back at it.

You're correct about the age bracket. Nearly all kids were Into the Pokemon craze back then.

And very much the same happened In my locality with schools. Because of It's overwhelming popularity, kids were not permitted to bring Pokemon cards to school and If they did, they'd serve after-school detention.

Correct, but they was always that One student who would always bring them. It was very unorganised tho so they would always ending up getting caught, I was one of those kids who were not into the bandwagon of phases that go through most schools.
