"20 years ago I was a real-life gym leader for toys r us"

In my younger days I worked at toys r us for a few years, and we had events where kids would bring their deck and battle a couple of us. They had a stamp card and if they beat us they would get a stamp. I don't remember what happened when they filled up the stamp card. I didn't like the game at all, I barely knew the rules, and my deck was borrowed from another leaders leftover cards and it sucked. Once Yellow came out I played it and fell in love with the video games, but the card game never clicked with me.If I could re-live that time I would have such a blast! I definitely had fun battling the kids and watching their smiles as I stamp their cards. Also, I'd keep the stamp and punch card and Pokemon deck if I knew I was going to be playing the games for the next 20ish years.If you ever wondered why gym leaders are so easy in the video games, it's because possibly it's just a job, they just want to go to break, and they might actually not even like the game, lol.Did any of you ever show up as kids and battle us? via /r/pokemon http://ift.tt/2j2qEZ2
