Hey Pojo

My name is Mette Hansen Rothmar, calling you from Denmark ! If you have any ideas or comments to this e-mail, please mail me at rothmar@post.tele.dk

I have a cousin in the age of 11, adopted from Africa. She did'nt knew about Pokémon, until recently, when it was her birthday. I was there, along with her "mom" and my parents. We gave her 5 booster packs. 3 Basic and 2 Jungle, since I find these better starters than Rocket, Gym Heroes and even fossil.

She was very excited, and when we finished dinner, I gave her a present from me - the holy starter deck (c'mon, we've all been there !), and I taught her how to play the game.

We have'nt had a Pokémon League here in Denmark, but I take her to class leauges at my school - it only involves my class, though. Now, soon (well, maybe) it's christmas, and I'm a bit short on cash, since I'm saving for a Nintendo 64. But then I realized, that A LOT of children in my school are selling cards at very low prices - for example, 3 Rocket Dratini, 3 Dark Dragonair and a hole Dragonite for about 2 - 3 $. And really, I don't want to sell my cards. So I wen't to by a basic booster (strangely enough), and NOOO !!!

I've got 11 cards - including 1 Poliwrath and a Poliwag. I know Poliwrath is deffinatly not a bad card, but I have 5 of them at home. And this is my 21st Poliwag (one from my class has 32 Abra's).

So I thought awhile about christmas, and my cousin, and here is what I'm going to give her : A deck I made with one holo-card (Poliwrath) and common and uncommons. I even printed out a decklist, like the one you get when you buy a theme-deck. Plus, I gave her 2 Jungle packs.

Well, I just wanted to tell you, that if you have anyone in you're family that you are going to buy Pokémon-presents for (who are fairly new to the game) then buy them a couple of booster packs, and make your own theme deck with ONE Holo card, and maybe even make a decklist. Just a good tip for those who have an enourmos amount of holo's that you are'nt using that much, and if you don't have all that much cash for presents.
