>>30457415>are any of the newer cards gud?What do you mean by good?
Artistically, they started printing out alternate and full arts for major cards near the start of Gen V. You get some really pretty cards if you're just collecting.
Mechanically? HGSS and the better half of Gen V was arguably the worst point in the TCG's history, but it's recovered pretty well since then, and the current format is pretty solid. Sun and Moon are going to introduce some new mechanics and retire some old ones come January, so now would actually be a pretty okay time to start.
