    I remember when I was little and just got cards cause they looked cool. Tried to learn how to play but it was too hard for my age. I see how simple it it now :3

    @elinatarasa9661 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks to your last "How To Play Pokemon TCG" video I learned how to play! I ordered 2 theme decks and teached my friend how to play. Then we both teached 4 other friends and we all love playing it.
    So thank you JWittz for making these videos and teaching us new way to have fun with friends!

    Thanks, the day before part 1 I had just gotten back in to the PTCG, which I stopped playing 3-5 years ago, and I watched your video, taught my mom and 1 one of my friends how to play ( my mom also stopped at the same time as me) and we are all having a blast, and I have been to my first per-release in a long time which was plasma freeze, so thank you

    Jwitts i have to say its been a long time since i played the card game. last time i played was at a local card shot that was running the pokemon card game league for the johto badge's at the time. only reason i stopped was because a lot of people stopped playing in my area. It's good to see someone trying to get people to understand the fun in the game. keep it up!:)

    • @sector1114
      @sector1114 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Try trollandtoad.com you can Normally get energies at about 5 cents each or theme decks and elite trainer boxes normally have a lot.

    • @isbragg
      @isbragg 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      The main way for a normal player to get energy is from structure decks, which come with around 10 each of 2 energy types. Energies only come in packs of the first set of a new series, and even then, they are rather rare.

  • @isbragg
    @isbragg 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Older cards are still fine for casual play with friends. In casual play, it's fine to have a deck that matches your play style, because that's how you'd be able to have the most fun, IMO. However, competitive decks usually run only a few Pokemon (usually heavy hitters, such as EX's and sometimes a few "support" Pokemon), around 25 energies, and the rest trainers to get out those Pokemon and energies, as well help you in other ways.

  • @danny83222
    @danny83222 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have to say. If your playing for fun or just starting off and need cards to learn from. Try finding bulk card collections on Craigslist or garage sales in your area. You can most likely find a large amount of cards for around $20 with a good verity

  • @rhettorical

  • @Asaph437
    @Asaph437 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I recommend you start with the Trainer Challenge on PTCGO. Watch some Top Cut games and learn the top decks, do some research, and then use PlayTCG, which is a free in-browser Pokemon game (and uses BebesSearch for the decklist). I was able to pick up the game pretty quickly going this route, though figuring out the top decks took awhile. I've since top cut two State tournaments. Best of luck to you.

  • @gabem7035
    @gabem7035 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well, you can casually. It's called playing "unlimited", but it is not allowed in tournaments. But some older cards can still be used. I think you can still use double colorless energy from old sets. But new cards are much stronger. For example, base set charizard required 4 energy to do 100 damage, and required you to discard 2 energy to use. And this was awesome back then. Now, we have infernape that can do 120 and requires you to discard all energy, but it only has a 2 energy cost.

    7 USD.

    @Chibi_Rikka 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice vid as always. But I have a question. I finally tried out the PTCO game and really like it, but is there any way to expand my collection without having to pay any real money?
    I mean it's fun, but I don't want to invest to much into it until I'm sure it's worth it. For now all I've got is the basic "Yellow" and "Orange" theme decks, which are alright, but not that good compared to others, and I'm sure will get boring after a few more matches.
