ITT: that kid thread
>1999-2000 sometime, it was a bit after the first movie release on VHS
>parents got me the VHS and i got a copy of that promo mewtwo
>treasured it as i wasn't able to get packs very often and didn't have cool cards
>kid in my class tells me he has a pokemon card for a pokemon i've never seen before
>oh shit
>at recess, he secretly takes me to some corner over by trash cans and shows me the quilava pictured
>he was right, I had never seen it before
>it has some weird language on it and the card back looks weird
>i suspect it's a fake but he tells me it's the real deal, that it's a really rare card that you could only get by going to some event and there were only like a hundred in the world
>points at the white stars and says it's even rarer than black star promos
>oh shit he must be right
>tells me it's an evolution from a new version of charmander that's going to be in the next pokemon game and that it's amazingly strong (just look at all the card text i can't read)
>i'm very interested at this point, i mean, he wouldn't have taken me aside and secretly shown me this unless it was the real deal, right?
>he asks to see my collection and he picks out the mewtwo and two other cards i cant remember and says he'll trade them
>say okay and get the quilava
>he quickly dashes off and i revel in having a super rare card
