What don't you appreciate about that?
I agree with you about Pokémon catering to kids, but I don't think pricing is very kid friendly on many of the cards. I was at a show last weekend and talked to a dealer I know who deals only with Pokémon. There were plenty of cards he had that people were asking about for $100+ and not many that I saw below $10. I'm not sure I would consider that to be kid friendly.
