What trading card games are/were you into?

The big three for me were-
1. Pokemon
2. Yu-Gi-Oh
3. Magic: The Gathering

I was more of a collector and rarely played the game the cards were meant for. I was obviously into Pokemon immensely and Yu-Gi-Oh later to a much lesser extent. Before we got married (and even met in person) I sent the Mrs. my Charizard, Blastoise and Venasaur  as a sign of my undying love haha

I think I tried getting into Magic at one point but it was just too foreign to me.

i got into the pok'emon trading card game for only a year, and that's when pok'emon was still a fad. once the schools banned the cards the fun was pretty much sucked out of me.

yu-gi-oh was a comeback for school cafeterias, but not officially. likely the only thing you saw happening at that time were kids trading their cards in a shady fashion. any other trading card game didn't really take interest for me, and i gave up yu-gi-oh just as quickly.

@vkimo if that is not true love, I don't know what is! Similarly, I was big into collecting pokemon cards, trying to catch em all. I don't think I ever played or even took the time to learn how to play the game properly. 

At the high school I teach at, Yu-Gi-Oh is HUGE

I was surprised to see such strong interest in a game that came out during my pre-teen years. I think it's the mechanics of the game that make it fun and challenging.

It's odd but even the Pokemon games on the GBC are really popular now. It's like todays kids miss old tech gaming.

I missed out on the rise of this type of game, as I was graduated and moving on to college when they really started to take off. I did play Dungeons & Dragons a few times though. But I was not that big into it.

Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh! I used to play with my little cousins. Sometimes I would get random packs of TCG cards as gifts or I would just buy them when they were on sale for like a dollar. I liked the series they were from like Xiaolin Showdown or Winx Club.
