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.

It very much is, which is the main reason this is an issue, as he is neglecting his own child.

well then it sounds like the easy solution is to get his kid some pokemon stuff.

Less of that and more have his kids join him. It isn't a difficult thing. Kids really just want to join their parents or parental figures in something.
