That said, I think this current jump is driven by adults...probably the ones that were kids last decade is my guess. My kids got into it to play, but most of my kids friends that are into it only "collect" so I get the impression that it'll have some real staying power into the next decade, at least.
However, today's current bubble is probably due to deflate some in the next year or two as the value prop comes down. I see something similar happening to sports...except maybe on a longer timeframe.
I don't really feel like sports and Pokemon have a huge overlap...some, for sure, but not enough to really influence each other too much outside of the flippers.
