Your kid is obsessed with Pokemon cards. They talk about pull rates, trade values, and something called an "illustration rare." You have no idea what any of that means. That is fine. You do not need to become an expert to be a great support system. You do not need to learn every Pokemon name or understand the meta of the TCG. What matters is that you help your kid navigate the hobby safely and make good decisions. Here are the things that actually matter. Pokemon is social. The best part of the hobby for most kids is not the cards themselves. It is the friends they make trading and playing. Help your kid find the right environment for that.
