Firstly, to all MODs, if this post is in the wrong section, or if I should have posted in an already existing thread as opposed to starting my own then I apologise, I looked around but couldn't find anywhere else that I should have put it, but if I missed something simple then again I apologize.
Now I have been giving serious consideration the past couple of months into taking up the Pokemon TCG.
I am an ex Yu-Gi-Oh player and without blowing my own trumpet too much, I was an extremely good one, consistently remaining in the top 10-50 ranked people in the UK, as well as top 8'ing more tournaments then I can count, and good records at National Championships. However I got out of that game a couple of years ago due to hating the direction the game was going, as well as the luck/skill ratio going from about 40/60 to IMO 80/20 at best.
But I have heard from many friends that the Pokemon TCG is just getting better and better and still remains mostly a skill based game, regularly producing the more skilled player coming out on top.
I was wondering if any of you PKMN TCG veterans could give me a few tips to get me started.
I know how the game is played, at least the basics, obviously not in tune with the pro skills of the meta, but I'm sure that will come with some research.
But I was wondering if anyone could advice me towards what structure decks/individual cards it would be worth my time and money investing in to get me started, and be able to build a half decent deck that can produce results, and is easy enough for a beginner to get to grips with.
Also if any of you fine TCG players are from the UK and participate in tournaments, if/when the time comes when I can participate in a tournament, or even just come along to one to maybe learn a few things, if you'd be willing to give me a quick crash course?
Finally, I know that there is an online Pokemon Trading Card Game System, assumidly it is similar to the Yugioh one called YVD which was basically a way to have games online with real people, and the programme database had every single card which you could use in your decks.
Is that the case with the PKMN based one?
Hope someone can help ^_^
