>>16633809>how do I get into playing competitively.Check out websites like the Pokegym and the Top Cut, they usually have good info.
>Are B/w cards allowed in X/Y games?As of right now, yes (the only XY cards we have are from the Kalos Starter decks), the current Modified rotation is Next Destinies-on.
The real XY set will see an international release in February, with prereleases taking place a couple of weeks before that.
>I pick up a pack of cards when I have some spare money.Most competitive players spend $100+ on decks that are "Competition ready".
And that's going off of the price for singles.
>>16633914>Buying packs is USUALLY a waste of money.It really depends on the set, I stopped buying LT packs and set my focus back on Plasma Blast.
And were you implying the forbidden arts when you put "usually" in caps?>If you are going to buy packs, buy a tin. You will get the EX promo guaranteed. Mewtwo is the best because of Xball only requiring 2 colorless.Mewtwo EX hasn't seen a lot of use thanks to Deoxys EX (which, I should add, saw a tin release as well), but thanks to Plasma basics falling from use it might come back.
