"Spinarak Is Nothing to Be Ashamed Of" ft. Emily's Pins and Packs | TRAINER'S EYE #199
As The Pokeball Turns
What happens when something you love becomes something you're afraid to share?
For Emily's Pins and Packs, Pokémon was part of childhood from nearly the beginning. From watching the anime on VHS to playing Pokémon Crystal, her love for the franchise grew through memories shared with her mother and younger brother.
But when classmates began mocking her for enjoying Pokémon, Emily made a difficult decision to step away from something that had always brought her happiness.
Emily's Pins and Packs reflects on those childhood experiences, her love for Spinarak, and how Pokémon GO helped reopen a door she'd once closed.
Today, she's embracing that passion through Pokémon TCG collecting, card shows, and creating content alongside her brother. She's also learning to enjoy the hobby openly, without worrying about what others might think.
Because sometimes growing up isn't about leaving behind the things you loved as a child.
It's about finding the confidence to love them again.
