    First Turn First Player Rule

    I could swear I read a rule where the first player's first turn they can't do something like use a Poke Power or Level Up? But the player that goes second can do it on their first turn. Is this a myth or an actual rule? Actually as a side note, I don't see a rule in the rule book against...

    Buck's Training the "new" Professor Oaks?

    I've always considered Professor Oak's Visit a staple trainer card along with Bebe's Search. (Better than Felicity as the you put a card back into the deck instead of having to discard it.) I'm starting to experiment with the Legends set (I'm being wise and using proxies before me and my kids...

    "Once During Your Turn"

    Does a Poke Power that says "Once during your turn..." mean you can use it multiple times or only once? If multiple times, then I'd have to say Magmortar X with Torrid Wave is should continue to be a VERY strong card. I swear I searched some archives on other websites and it said you can only...

    Have I Lost My Mind

    New PokeDad trying to determine if I've gone way overboard on the card spending. Being an Analyst I of course read everything I could about deckbuilding, used the pokepedia site to look up cards with certain criteria (high HP, high average attack) and examined the attacks of some of the cards...

    Getting to Worlds

    Has someone posted a detailed account of what it takes to get to Worlds? I mean I know there is the basic description from the Pokemon site, but I'm looking for more of a real-word account. Something that talks about what kind of time investment is typically required for the year leading up to...

    Ability to Watch Final Rounds?

    Can someone post links to useful websites for following worlds? I'm sure there will be some sort of scoreboard deal at the Official site right? Is there a website or some reliable YouTube page that will post video (live or delayed) of some of the semi-final and final rounds? I'd love to...

    Card Rating Reference?

    Is there a website that rates cards by using some formula that takes into account HP, Poke-Powers/Bodies, and Attacks including special conditions? Or at least on that rates the attacks?

    Counter Decks for Empoleon, Mag, and GG

    I'm a new player but absorbing as much info as fast as I can. It appears, on average, the most successful decks center around Empoleon, Magmortar or Gardevoir & Gallade, correct? These are the decks I'm hearing are winning tournaments. I've started playing with only 2008-2009 format (D&P)...

    Need Rules Clarifications

    Me and my sons are new players but getting the hang of it. Could someone clarify a few things, some are general rules, other's are card specific (and our league is in hiatus for the Worlds right now.) 1) Can you use your Poke Power on your first turn? I assume yes, as technically your draw of...

    Most Valuable Trainers Supporters

    I realize the type of trainers and supporters you choose relates to what kind of Pokemon in your deck. Stadiums too - obviously Dawn stadium for Water/Grass, Moonlight for Dark/Psychic, etc. But in general what do people consider the most valuable trainers and supporters (for new 2008-2009...

    NEWBIE: What cards to load up on?

    Okay, aside from the obvious: play more or just copy a proven deck that others have already tested and rated highly, what are your top tips for learning how to build better decks? I'm a PokeDad and my kids each have collections worth about $250. It's time they put the cards to use. I've read a...

    Newbie Dad Nees a Clue - Help!

    Okay, I'm trying to help my kids build a Pokemon Card collection but I also want them to get involved in a League so they/we need to learn how to build a deck. One kid 6-1/2 the other is 8. I haven't read the rule book but have a basic understanding of the game, very basic, mostly from...
