  • Genuine Haha will be bringing several greeting cards to the convention, for those occasions when you just can’t find the right card for saying sorry about smashing my shield through your arc reactor and leaving you on a mountain.

Better catch that ultra-rare Pikachu while you can! [Editor’s Note: I know nothing about Pokemon Go]
