Pricing risk is something I assume Pokémon doesn’t have.
But I’m not going to encourage my kids to play poker. I will teach them the game if they want. But without the risk of actual material loss, the game loses a lot. Money is highly emotional. It’s gain or loss, the emotions that triggers, manipulating those emotions in others, predicting their behaviour based on their state, and even simulating “tilt” and presenting an emotional state are all things that is the makes poker what it. Without that it’s a below average game.
And I’m not going to allow children to gamble with money.
- mod 4y ago> And I’m not going to allow children to gamble with money I thought for a couple minutes about whether this was really noble, or flawed thinking. I didn't come to a conclusion. I doubt it's very important if children gamble with money or not. I think probably most of them do at one time or another, anyway.
- 99_00 4y agoMy memories of gambling as a child were cheating, sore losers, reneging, and fights. As an adult there are people who I just won't gamble with because of the above reasons, but they are in the minority. As a kid they seemed to be in the majority.

When I was kid a lot of us would gamble our lunch money (75 cents) playing quarters with each other. Some days I had to skip lunch, some days I got an extra milk, and some I was caught and given detention. A lot of lessons in those outcomes heh.
