I've got a box of Pokemon cards that are all a year or more old. I haven't posted here in nearly a year, but some of you regulars and old timers may remember me from my posts when I used to play the Pokemon TCG with my grandson. He got me started on it years ago, but last fall when he...

My grandson called me the other day and asked me if I could print some copies of a fake Pokemon card he found on the web called Shadow Pikachu. He wants to use it to play a practical joke on his cousins at the next family gathering. All of his cousins play Pokemon too, so he wants me to make...

I've got a JPG file of a chart titled "Modified Legal Pokemon Expansion Sets" that I think I copied from somewhere in the PokeGym a couple of months ago. But I'll be danged if I can remember where I found it. I tried searching for it, but as usual, I got a gazillion hits (including messages...

Today my grandson played the Broken Time Space Stadium card: Broken Time Space says: "Each player may evolve a Poekemon that he or she just played or evolved during that turn." I attacked his active Pokemon with Aerodactyl GL's Primal Breath, which says "Your opponent can't play any...

I'm trying to figure out what the term is that designates the different kinds of cards. I don't mean the type, I think I have that one down. If I understand it correctly, the type of a Pokemon is the name of an Energy type and is shown by an Energy symbol in the upper right corner of the...

I've put my cards in a shoe box and am making dividers so I can sort them by type, level, etc. (Can you say "obsessive/compulsiive"?:rolleyes:) Some of the types seem to have two different names. I'm wondering if there is a clear consensus on the preferred name. For example, the green...

I'd like to try my hand at deck building, but don't have many cards to work with (except for a bunch of really old cards). So, if I were able to scrape up the cash to order a batch of cards from an online dealer, what cards would you recommend for a basic set of MUST HAVES for deck building...

Does anyone play games limited to the first two or so sets of cards? My grandson introduced me to the Pokemon Trading Card Game a couple of years ago when he asked me to play it with him one time during a visit. Back then even he didn't really know how to play the game. He had a box of old...

In the Cards: Strategy, Rulings, & Collecting Questions forum, Flareon Master and Yoshi recommended that I buy two Rising Rivals Drill Point Decks and then combine the best cards from each into a single deck: http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=103776...

OK, I stopped by my neighborhood game store yesterday and, following FlareonMaster's advice:thumb:, I picked up the Rising Rivals Drill Point Theme Deck. I'll probably get together with my grandson tomorrow to play Pokemon with him before he takes off for a 4th of July camping trip. So I'd be...

My grandson is getting bored with my playing the same old decks against him over and over again. And due to chronic disabling health problems, I don't have a lot of spare time or energy available for cooking up new decks. So I'm wondering what your opinions are of the new Rising Rivals and...

I realize that many of you loathe the Machamp deck, but all of your complaints about it have me curious. I think my grandson might get a kick out of a Machamp deck. Especially if I spring it on him and kick his butt with it before giving it to him as a graduation (from the sixth grade...

I got an email from Pokegym today suggesting I archive my PMs because my inbox is nearly full. Trouble is, I don't have a clue how to archive my PMs. Can someone tell me what do to?

The other night while we were playing the Pokemon Card Game my grandson asked me what React Energy was. I didn't have a clue. I'd be grateful to anyone who could point me to an explanation. P.S. I tried searching this site for "react energy", but this site's search engine searches for...

When I use the Pokegym "Search" tool, it automatically puts "OR" in between my search terms. Is there a way to change it so that it will put "AND" in between my search terms?

I was unable to post a follow-up question to PokePop's reply to my initial query about the old Double Rainbow Energy card: http://www.pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=101394 So I guess I'll have to start a new thread: If I wanted to discard a Double Rainbow Energy card from my Active...

Do you answer questions here in this forum about old cards that are no longer included in the list of modified legal cards? Last night in a game with my grandson I played a Double Rainbow Energy (Emerald 87/106) onto my Lucario (P6 2/17) because I didn't have any Basic Energy cards in my hand...

I wish the Researching Tower table had a third column to the right of the "Set ID" column that would show a picture of the set symbol. But since it doesn't, can someone tell me where I can find a table that shows the names that go with all the set symbols?

Last night I stayed up late giving my card collection a long overdue sorting out and came across a Basic Pokemon called Smeargle (SW 66/132) with an intriguing attack called "Trace." Flip a coin, if heads choose an attack on 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokemon. Trace copies that attack...

I put together a Scizor/Cherrim deck from a list I found on the web (I may have found that list right here at the PokeGym). The list includes two Technical Machine TS-2 cards. Last weekend while playing with my grandson we were trying to figure out how to use that card. At first we...
