Pokemon
I think its hard growing up in my generation and without loving Pokemon. Me and my siblings always woke up before our parents to watch the show and then spent hours pretending we were Pokemon trainers. I still remember when we saw the first movie at the cinema, or well the gathering hall all small towns have that are to small to have real cinemas. We were so excited!
We collected and played with our cards, even if my oldest brother for some reason always won (CHEATER!) and on the school ground we played with marbles to win new cards.
When I was 13 I graduated from middle school and started a new school with only older students. Nobody played with Pokemon cards anymore, so I gave all of my cards to my younger brother who was 6 at the time and was just about to start school. He was also a Pokemon fan. Growing up with four older siblings who loved it, how could he not! Since he was my favorite, and only, little brother I helped him build his collection by buying boosters every now and then plus going all out on his birthdays. It was awesome!
A few years ago I had about 3000-4000 cards but now I only have my favorit cards.
