Ink or Gel pens?
Well, this is embarrassing, that was going to say ball point not ink. Failure..
Whatever, Lets just pretend there is a thing called gel that isn't made of ink.
When I was like 9/10 in school, for whatever reason, people started collecting the scented gel pens and just general weird ones. This was shortly after Pokemon was banned I think... makes sense...
Not gonna lie, scented gel pens were pretty dope when the were popular at school for a little while. Wouldn't surprise me if I got better marks because my essays smelled like blue berries. I mean, marking work must be pretty dull normally.

I also favor the Uniball Jetstream, so excellent choice. However, this preference does not lead to a clear choice between ballpoint and gel. "Jetstream Ballpoint Pen features an innovative ink system that unites the smoothness of a gel and quick-drying of a ballpoint for high-speed writing performance. Quick-drying ink helps resist smearing and prevent check washing. Ink is fade-resistant and water-resistant."

Yeah I remember kids doing that. Easily one of the dumbest trends ever.

Pokemon was... banned? Huh?
Anyway, I remember the gel fad. It died off once people realised that they didn't bloody work.
Gel ink is horrific, it's way too thick and leaves ugly blotchy marks all over the page. Regular old ink is the only way to go.

People kept stealing other peoples cards and stuff.

Pokémon cards were banned at my school too. It was a shame too, was like a childhood dream come true when everyone was in the playground trading Pokémanz.

Oh the cards. I thought you meant Pokemon in general. Yeah the cards were looked down upon at my school too.
Ink, definitely.
I'm left-handed so writing with a gel pen is out of the question. As my hand moves across the page with my writing the work I've done becomes illegible. I use a Parker Vector pen for all of my writing, and it's probably the best pen I've ever used. It's a good quality, refillable biro. The only issue I have is that I managed to damage the original spring in it, so it's using a different spring now, and the little button to push the actual point out is stiffer now with the unplanned spring.
Gel. I have to fill out forms in sub-zero temperatures for half the year, and ink freezes way too fast.

I remember when Pokemon cards and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards were banned from my elementary school too (they were also robbing people of those cards). It was fun while it lasted. I also recently got this type of nostalgia when I noticed some of the people back at my college campus play the current Pokemon card versions (Which was nice).
