new card game player needs help

[gob144]

Me and my girlfriend have recently taken up playing pokemon cards. I bought the ignition deck and she bought the water/fighting deck. I have a pokemon in my deck (i forget which one) but it has a move that costs 1 grass energy and puts the other person pokemon asleep(theres no flip of a coin). It also has a move that does 20 damage. because of this more she cant win. All i do is put it out as my active pokemon and keep putting her pokemon to sleep, when they dont wake up i hit them for 20 untill there knocked out. Its almost cheap is there trainers that like awakening or will i just always win as long as i have this pokemon?

please help its almost taking the fun out of the game.

Just put it at the bottom of your deck, or even take it out. -_-

so the game is flawed? to make the game fair do people have to resort to not using cards that are good?

This should be in TCG. :/ And make sure she's flipping a coin between turns to see if she can wake up. That might be the problem.

i posted it in TCG but the traffic there is so slow i dont get a response. shes is flipping a coin but the game says she flips at the end of her turn. so if she wakes up i just use the sleeping move again and if she doenst wake up i hit her for 20 damage and continue untill her pokemon are finished.

Well, I know plenty of TCG people that roam around that area. Anyway, sounds like a personal problem. Replace the Pokemon with something else, shuffle both your decks better, learn how to flip coins properly, etc. She has the option to retreat the Pokemon, you know. Only paralysed Pokemon aren't allowed to retreat. Why not just do that? There's really a ton of options that she has.

It's been a long time since I played the TCG, but I'm fairly certain coin flips for waking up a pokemon are made at the end of both players' turns...

ex.

your turn:
your pokemon puts her pokmon to sleep
/end your turn
she flips to see if her pokemon wakes up
her turn:
she does whatever she does
/end her turn
she flips again to see if her pokemon wakes up

Back when I played the TCG, sleep was regarded as an unreliable stalling technique because there's a 50% chance that the defending pokemon would be awake again on the opponent's turn and a 75% chance that they'll be awake again on your next turn. >_>
