Haha, nice. I think it'd be better, but I'm a fan of Asian culture, so who knows?
Well, I just put together a bunch of Fighting- and Grass-energy Pokemon, along with a splash of normal. I haven't tried it out, yet, but it just seems like it would work for a basic starting deck. Do you not have a lot of the same type and the corresponding energy? Haha, I'll only have like two or three people to play with as well... :/
