5th Gen is it reasonable to play Green Tornado deck against Blue Assault?

[sinrakin]

I'm just starting out with Pokemon, because my kid is getting interested in it and I'd like to be able to play with him. So I don't really have much background, apologies for asking stupid questions, etc...

I picked up the Green Tornado and Blue Assault decks so we could play against each other. But my initial reaction is that Blue Assault has literally zero chance to ever win, since virtually every Green card has resistance to water (Deerling, Pansage, Petilil, Snivy, Servine, Serperior), while blue has no resistance against green. So Blue has -20 to virtually every attack, and since that's about all the damage that basic pokemon do, it means he gets no damage until at least one evolves, and by then it's too late. Am I missing something?

Or are you just not meant to play starter decks against each other?

Your better off mixing up a deck put a well rounded bunch of pokemon and try looking on Ebay for Generation 1 pokemon cards There alot better.

Seems like you're just starting out here at PC too, welcome to the forum! Realize that we have a Trading Card Game board for any discussions/questions you may be interested in looking into. There is a Simple Questions sticky as well, where you can ask questions such as this one there, but since you've already gotten an answer I'll go ahead and close the thread. Welcome to the forum once again, though! :)
