Word to the wise: Never play a game you love with a #nerd. They will have optimized the game to the point that all of your favorite characters and strategies are complete garbage, and the only way to win is to break your thumbs on the controller, or prevent your opponent from playing at all. Fun was never an option.
All 75 Neo Discovery cards are now inside the folder! This marks my fifth complete set (Base, Jungle, Fossil,Team Rocket, Neo Discovery)
I'm still working out which classic set I try to complete next, I'm very close with Neo Revelation and Neo Genesis, but I might chase up the Pokémon 151 set!
Hey anybody on the Fediverse got experience with the #pokemontcg ? I got the My First Battle box for my 5 year old and he loves it. We played for two hours and he wanted to play more today. He rarely does anything longer than an hour before wanting to move on.
Question I have is where I should go from there? He’s fairly good a remembering details and rules but I don’t want to start dropping a bunch of rules on him right now away. I can see the starter decks get tired after a bit though so I am wondering what’s the best slow growth path for him?
I also want to try to stave off the addiction that is opening boosters. I know it’s a feature of TCG but I also know how easy it is to fall into the hole of MORE and I’m trying to teach him consuming with purpose, not just getting stuff to have more stuff you know? So things that provide the most bang for your dollar would be best.

Did anyone collect Pokémon trading cards from the Skyridge set? It was the final Wizards of the Coast release for Pokémon, but I really love the artwork!
the more i play #pokemontcg the more i realize that the deck I've been playing, Chien Pao, is literally the same deck as Gifts Ungiven Storm in #magicthegathering
i've played a LOT of card games and i can't think of any two decks that map onto each other quite so well. which is so hype because gifts storm is my favorite mtg deck lol
I've been having a lot of fun with the #PokemonTCG, I'm not sure if I like it more than hearthstone but I'm def interested in playing it more in person here in Seattle :)
Does anyone around here play the #PokemonTCG? I've got some questions as a magic player looking into trying the game, if you know both magic and ptcg that'd be dope
So very chuffed #PokémonTradingCardGame came out on #NintendoSwitch. I've loved this game since childhood but somehow never got around to beating it until now. 🥹

How the fuck are you supposed to play non-precon decks on #pokemonTCGlive? I've been playing for months, have only played precons, and finally when there's a deck I want to play I have nowhere near enough credits for it. Is there a place to buy credits that I'm missing?
