Great way to start into Pokemon, but still leaves us with questions My son and I love this starter set. We've played a few times. However, now we're ready to start adding to the set with boosters. I've purchased some boosters, but they don't seem to come with energy cards, which are essential to the gameplay!
This starter set gives you some Water and Punch energy cards, which are great to start with and fit just fine with the starting mini-decks of this set, but that leaves more than half the booster cards we've purchased un-useable because they're of a different type. And the instructions don't really explain anything beyond basic gameplay. I was hoping that a starter kit like this would at least answer beginner questions like "how do I expand my deck?", "how do I play with other types of cards", "should I focus on a specific energy type, or what?" etc.
I'll probably have to end up doing research online or finding a book we can study to figure the rest of the game out. Or go to one of those meet-ups, I guess...
Everything my daughter wanted This set is complete and has everything a kid needs to play REAL pokemon. I was amazed to see how many kids who have been avid pokemon traders for years, had never seen the complete set including rule book, damage markers ans the like. Most kids didn't realize just how the game was intended to be played.
Pokemon Trading Card Game Ordering was easy and reliable. The game was delivered quickly.
The Pokemon Trading Card Game has been well used thus far. It is a great starter set that provides a base to build upon. Great way to learn the Pokemon Game!
~ Perfect for beginners or Collectors! ~ My son will love this!
This is great for kids trying to build their decks and to start playing right away with a friend! I am so excited my son will absolutely LOVE IT!
