Most schools I know of banned Pokemon (and other CCG) cards because the kids would always be ripping each other off in trades and stealing from one another. I remember my old school banned playing cards (and eventually all card games) over gambling concerns.

Well, they weren't actually banned, but our teacher forbade us to bring them. Until we wrote a really nice letter, signed by the entire class, that we'll behave, but please please please let us bring our Pokemon cards again.

Then, in secondary school, nobody really gave a crap anymore. (And I mean both the teachers and all the former Pokemon fans. Such a bummer. 10 year old me returns from the summer vacation, and suddenly absolutely nobody even talked about Pokemon anymore. It was really weird.)

My district banned trading cards during the Pokemon card heyday partially because some kids were stealing them, but mostly because kids kept getting them out during class and it was a disruption.
Then I got to high school, and they were still banned, but nobody cared. I kept my Yugioh deck in my backpack and played with some of my friends at lunch, and we never got in trouble for it.

When I was in grade school in the 70s they banned baseball cards. Also due to gambling concerns, as far as I know.
