Back in the mid-90s when Pokémon cards became hugely popular, I assumed they’d be just like Pogs or Furby and they’d fade away eventually. But, here we are 30 years later, and Pokémon may be more popular than ever. Here’s more proof of that…

Pokémon vending machines were introduced earlier this year and they’re already everywhere!

Colorado has over 130 of the machines that primarily stock Pokémon Trading Card Game products, including booster packs, Elite Trainer Boxes and other related items.

All of the machines are in King Soopers and Safeway stores around the state. You can actually see a list of where all the machines in the state are located here.
