The goal of Pokemon is simple: You try to capture as many of the creatures as possible, using a Poke ball. The more you capture, the higher you level up. You can either play the obsessively addictive Pokemon Go game or collect the cards and figures, or both. Kids love Pokemon. And like lice, Pokemon mania spreads from kid to kid to kid in the form of Pokemon toys, including cards and action figures. From weird-cute plush toys to building sets, these are the ones worth buying.
