The difference between gen 1 pokemon and newer gen pokemon is like the difference between early pokemon TCG cards and modern pokemon TCG cards.

i can see where he's coming from. no cards like diancie exist in the older sets - whereas all the old, simple pokemon still exist in the newer games.

As someone who bought cards for the first time this week since the base set, I nearly shit myself when I pulled a full art holo Zapdos.

The top tier decks in the format isn't based around EX, though.

At most they use Shaymin EX for Draw Support or Seismitoad EX for itemlock, but the ones that net the prizes and are the real concern are others.

BREAK aren't bad either, they are either Stage 2 that you can't bring with Rare Candy, or outright Stage 3. And for the Water ones, they can't be Archie'd.

Don't let some big numbers fool you, anon.

I don't like the newer full-card CGI style artwork. It looks ridiculous and overly flashy. I just need some holo foil and high numbers. The reason why Base Set Charizard was so awesome is that it looked like a normal card, only slightly better. These weird explosive please-look-at-me MEGA EXTREME designs feel like misplaced bootleg cards. Base Set and most Neo sets were perfect.

One big problem is the pokemon now have too much hp and attacks do a ton of damage. Stage 2 pokemon back then had a max 100hp.

Is this the CCG thread? Had a wild hair up my ass to pick up some cards and start playing for the first time in over ten years. Doesn't look like too much has changed other than some new mechanics and power creep. Where's a good place to start for getting back into the game?

You're thinking of BW EX Pokemon. XY has gotten better about balancing them with normal Pokemon.

At the very least, it's better than the Prime mechanic. Those were just normal Pokemon that were stronger than normal with no drawback at all.

That looks so fucking rad, it's not as obnoxious as the other cards where they just throw tons of effects and visuals onto the card you can't even see the text. It's got a really nice simple look to it but still looks awesome.

Get TCGO, look up a deck you want to try out. Buy 100 booster codes for like $10, then trade for the deck you want.

Don't open the virtual boosters, just trade them for the cards you need unopened.

It's called collecting and system mastery. You deliberated make garbage as filler, these both leads to players lower along the skill ladder to waste money on shit and for skilled players to drive prices up since they selectively go for good shit.

Also, that power creep is necessary, the older cards made the game slow as fuck.

oh, well if you're just collecting them for asthetic purposes, go for full art supporters or full art EXs. they're the coolest looking ones.
As for gameplay, none of these cards are used, and anything from the B/W series is no longer used
