>>27652406>has the best intro decks of any card game, at least for new players looking to start up.That's 100% false. It has arguably the worst ones out of any card game I can think of. Vanguard starter decks are great and Legend decks win tournaments. Force of Will Start decks are amazing because they give you everything you actually need/want. Buddyfight start decks are probably the best ever because vanillas in Buddyfight are broken. Even Magic Duel Decks are better. Yugioh starter decks are actually meta if you buy 3 and mash them together.
In comparison, you keep maybe 2-4 cards total out of the 60 cards you get from a Pokemon starter deck, it teaches kids bad build ratios, and they're inherently made without any of the good stuff. Japan gets good starter decks. Japan got Hyper Metal Chain links as a starter deck. We got stripped of that entirely, all those EXes were added to Phantom Forces. We got fucking Bolt Twister and Burning Winds instead.
Look at this shit
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hyper_Metal_Chain_Deck_(TCG)It comes with 3 Dialga EXes, and Aegislash, 3-3 Bronzor line, 4 Sycamore, 4 Ultra Ball, more draw supporters, 2 goddamned VS Seekers(that's a 10 dollar card now) and even 2 DCE, and this was like 20-30 dollars. That's a reasonable way to start a game. Swap out some energies for other shit you want to use, like more trainers.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Burning_Winds_(TCG)12 dollars here, and the only usable cards in the entire thing that will ever see any play are 1 copy of Sycamore and 1 copy of Ultra Ball, both uncommons reprinted like every 3 sets.
