I have a cousin who is obsessed with Pokemon. Like majorly obsessed. He travels around the country to go to Pokemon conventions, spends large amounts of money on these. Buys TONS of cards. Right now he is on his way to the pokemon world championship. He is in his 40s and he will usually leave his son at home to go to these. I don't get it. I liked playing the gameboy games but this seems a bit ridiculous.

Possibly a distraction from something he's lacking in his life?

Probably, his wife left him years ago (before the pokemon) and that might be it.
