Pokemon TCG

The Pokemon Trading Card Game....Kills YuGiOh's TCG.

Recently, me and my bro have started playing it again and have lost a lot.
Would anyone mind giving me all their cards if you don't want them?

Oh, and discuss.

Still got dat base set holographic Charizard. If only it were a first edition...

I stopped collecting around the time when the 3rd gen cards were released, but I do have a pretty nice collection of first and second gen holos.

I have a pile of Pokemon cards laying around somewhere. That was all the rage when I was in elementary school. I never knew how to play the game, I just liked collecting them.

I remember playing the Game Boy game very fondly.

As do I. But I only played through the first two generations. Since I was slow in getting a GBA, I never really got excited about Ruby and Sapphire and every iteration from there on.

Not the main series (which you should pick up again, Black and White are amazing!)

I had the Pokemon Trading Card Game on Game Boy for a while, and then started getting into collecting the cards and playing against people for a short while. But it got old kinda fast. Plus I don't really like it as much now that there are way too many pokemon.

YES, PLEASE. hahah

Anyways, what are your favorite decks to use? (i.e. Fire, Water, Grass)

[Tigmafuzz]

I always used to use a psychic and grass deck when I actually play other people and I had a ridiculous strategy for the Game Boy game:

I would only have a few potions, a couple Poke Ball cards, a few Exeggcutes and a couple Exeggutors, and a bunch of grass energy. Then I would evolve my Exeggcute as soon as possible, attach as many grass energy as I could, and keep using Big Eggsplosion. The outcomes of the coin flips were predetermined, so I would usually get anywhere from 7 to 9 heads out of 20 before I won every match. The only time I didn't use that deck was against the fire club and the fire grand master guy.

And I would save before every match, so even if I lost (which was rare) I could just restart and try again from that exact place. Good times.

(Note: I only play with the 2 Base, Jungle, Fossil, and Team Rocket sets. Pokemon hasn't lived up to its old days.)

Me and my brother currently duel each other with a Psychic/Earth deck and a Water/Grass deck.

I don't know what any of those sets are. I was never as big on the Pokemon TCG as I was into Magic.

Oh yeah, duh. That's what the thread is about, after all. LOL.

I always wanted a limited edition, holographic Charizard, but it used to be $250 at one point. Crazy enough, it still costs $45 and more at some places.
