He had his first hand held games console and Pok\u00e9mon game back in 2003 when his younger brother was born (we do gifts from the new baby to the older siblings). So when he heard that Ruby and Sapphire were being released with new mega Pokemon last year he just had to get it. This also sparked interest for his younger brother, who is now 11, and has started attending a games after school club where they play card games. What he was after was some Pok\u00e9mon card games. I told him that he could have the Hoenn Starter Box from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esdeviumgames.com\/\">Esdevium Games<\/a> if he could write me a review for it (always good to help develop those writing skills).<\/p>\n<p>So here it is:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Pok\u00e9mon Hoenn Starter Box Review<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-18991 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/pokemon-cards.jpg?resize=300%2C215\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon Hoenn Starter Box \" width=\"300\" height=\"215\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>The reason I\u2019m interested in Pok\u00e9mon is because it\u2019s a turn based game so you can do it as fast or slow as you want. This means you do not feel rushed into taking your turn and can think about your strategy. I like it because there is so much content &#8211; with over 700 Pok\u00e9mon in the latest game, taking a lot of time to catch them all. But when you\u2019re done catching all of them you can either train them all to level hundred (and compare Pok\u00e9mon with others), or train them up to battle against your friends to see who is better. But if you really want a certain Pok\u00e9mon and no one you know has one you can go online and look if anyone in the world has the one you want, and you have the one they want so you can trade. Underneath all this is the main story to get the main legendary that\u2019s on the front cover, like in Pok\u00e9mon Black\/White the legendries were Reshiram and Zekrom and in every game there are villains who are trying to capture this legendary Pok\u00e9mon and use it for evil but you and your Pok\u00e9mon have to stop them and since X\/Y there has been mega evolution which is where your bond between with your Pok\u00e9mon is so strong that the Pok\u00e9mon becomes extra powerful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/hoenn-collection-contents.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-18993\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/hoenn-collection-contents-300x220.jpg?resize=300%2C220\" alt=\"hoenn collection\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/hoenn-collection-contents.jpg?resize=300%2C220 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/hoenn-collection-contents.jpg?w=600 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>The computer game is based on the Pokemon card game and has the same characters. The cards are not all visible and so it\u2019s random what Pok\u00e9mon you\u2019re going to get; they could be super rare and worth thirty quid or really regular and only be worth 50p, it all depends on luck and also which pack you buy because there are loads different packs. You can use the cards to battle with your friends or do swaps.\u00a0I have received the Pok\u00e9mon trading card game Hoenn starter box. This box includes 3 booster packs; 2 phantom forces and 1 flash fire pack. But that\u2019s not all of it you get an A5 limited edition Japanese writing primal kyogre\/groundon (depending on which box you got) the three Hoenn starters: mudkip, treecko and torchic holographic cards as well as a pin with all 3 on. In my three packs I got three rare cards which are reverse holographic gigalith, gurdur and swadloon. There\u2019s also a bonus code card for the Pok\u00e9mon Trading Game online. The reason I got these cards was so I could add to my collection. This is a cheaper way to buy the packs and a good way to get more rare ones and bonus things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RRP \u00a312.99<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>For your chance to receive a\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon trading card game Hoenn starter box then enter the Rafflecopter below as I am giving one away!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">UK ONLY<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Starts 13\/03 &#8211; E: 27\/03 0:00AM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a id=\"rcwidget_whr78tc0\" class=\"rcptr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rafflecopter.com\/rafl\/display\/a04d219258\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-raflid=\"a04d219258\" data-theme=\"classic\" data-template=\"\">a Rafflecopter giveaway<\/a><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/widget-prime.rafflecopter.com\/launch.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I received two free\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon trading card game Hoenn starter boxes &#8211; one to review and one to giveaway.
