Gotta Catch 'Em All: Pokemon Card Creations

Back when I was a kid, Pokemon was the most popular toy around. Still to this very day, they are a hit with kids all across the world. Most of the kids here at OSC have their own Pokemon cards, which they bring in to show off all the different kinds they have collected. There are over 500 Pokemon cards and trying to “catch them all” is Pokemon’s mission slogan.

Over at Senior OSC, Matt Hewitt led an activity using a simple website to create your very own Pokemon cards. I wanted every kid to have the opportunity to enjoy Pokemon cards like I did when I was their age, and that's the reason why I chose to do this activity. With the idea from Matt and the amount of interest in Pokemon at Jr. OSC, it sparked the idea of making everyone his or her very own card.

I started out by making a template where the kids would write out all the information about their Pokemon: the name, type, the animal it represented, health points, and their attacks. All we needed now was a picture of the Pokemon, which we had gotten from Google images. Using all the information gathered from the creative minds of the kids, I then plugged it in to the Pokemon card generating website and that was it!
