    Really great thank you. This is the most straightforward intro to the game I’ve seen and was super informative as someone who collects but has never played. Would love to see more like this!

    As a collector turned player, this is a fantastic video. Superbly edited, and clear for new players.
    If you're on the fence, definitely try it out!! People are always happy to help and the TCG community is great (for the most part)

    I last played at a tournament during the Gym Heroes Prelease back in August 2000 during the original heyday. Haven't played since (with the exception of a couple pickup games with friends using my old cards). I'd like to teach my friends' kids how to play...they collect a lot of cards and understand Pokemon itself more than I do (like, I couldn't even tell you how many Pokemon there are beyond the original 151), but they have never played the card game itself...The game has evolved a fair amount since those days, so this video has been helpful in getting me back up to speed.

    This is a great guide, thanks! I signed up for a pre-release tournament this weekend (my first ever time playing in-person) and was a little anxious about learning all of the rules of play. TCG live tends to take care of that for you, so the learning curve is much less steep. I found a love for the Giratina VStar deck, so I'm glad it's featured here! Not sure why it was the easiest strategy for me to figure out

    @Ausar0 7 місяців тому

    something I can't seem to find an answer to:
    Before Supporter cards existed, there were only Trainer cards, and you could use any number of them you wanted in a single turn.
    Obviously there's restrictions in Standard for what cards to use, but if you're playing Unlimited, are there any rules about using those older cards?
    Because newer Professor Oak is classed as a Supporter, so you can only use it once a turn, but OLD Professor Oak is NOT a Supporter card. So what then?

    This is a fantastic video, but I can't say I'm encouraged to play by knowing there's a limited number of decks you can play with competitively. Kinda takes the fun out of it, knowing that you can't really hope to get into the game except by riding in on someone else's coat-tails. I think I'll just play with other plebs and leave regurgitating the meta to the powergamers.

  • @bmurf91
    @bmurf91 5 місяців тому

    Maybe it's a stupid question (complete noob here).
    If it's so important to set up the charizard, can the deck be completely negated if your one charmeleon happens to be a prize card and therefore you can't access it? Or is there something I'm missing about what can be a prize card

    • @meadandmilk
      @meadandmilk 5 місяців тому +2

      You would have to rely on the rare candy cards in the deck to negate the need for the Charmeleon.

    • @nicks4802
      @nicks4802 4 місяці тому

      You need more than the charizard as a beater to kick some butt and claim some prize cards if thats the case.
      Happens to me playing a kingdra EX,
      If my seadras are all put into my prize cards at the start, i have to rely on my pikachu EX or Zapdos EX to slug damage out and hope i can get a seadra into my hand when choosing prizes.
      Thats why you dont wanna load your bench with a bunch of the same pokemon and the only other pokemon on your bench is a weakling that’s ineffective compared to charizard.
      And play 2 types so you’re not complete countered.
      If you’re playing just fire type, my water pokemon and gonna wash your bench easy.

    Hi ! Im a yugioh player and started to get into the Pokemon TCG recently aswell. The rule that you get one extra Card if your Opponent has no Basic in their First hand is seems weird to me😄 Do many Players not take the +1? I cant Imagine anyone playing competitivly to reject a free +1 :D Is it dishonoring if i take it or is it less important in this Game to go through your cards fast or does it depend on Decks ? Can you or someone explain that a Bit more? good video
