The problem PokeMatch solves

New Age Pokemon NFT GAME for kids

Remember the joy of collecting Pokemon trading cards long before the current hype for it and smart contracts?
Well, PokeMatch is an NFT token game that uses the ERC721 standard for the tokens. With the onset of web3, online collectibles are the new sensation and PokeMatch could be the road that delivers the new generation of collector items. The game is a demo for what can later be modified to add many levels and difficulties, with different varieties of tokens, and is going to revolutionize blockchain games specific to kids under a certain age. PokeMatch could bring back the same fervor trading cards did but is now targeted at kids and interested people.
