    best way for a returning player to spend money AND get a decent amount of cards

    I've been out of Pokémon since Dark Explorers, but am looking to get back into the game. I'm trying to decide how to spend my money. I have no idea what I want to play, and I'd like to have a second deck for a friend to use if possible. My first thought was to get a box of every standard...

    Will VGC eventually use a "points system" for invites, a la TCG?

    For those of you who don't know, the way that TCG and VGC award ranking-based Worlds invites is different. Until recently, TCG used the same system that VGC currently uses: top 40 in a certain region (i.e. North America). However, they have now changed their system to where everyone who...

    Are people interested in trading for packs of extended format-only sets? / redeeming

    I have packs of Next Destinies, Dark Explorers, and Dragons Exalted. Are people interested in trading for any of these, or should I go ahead and open them up (which I may do anyway)? Also, before I left the game for a bit, a code would allow you to get any pack of your choosing from HG/SS up...

    qualification for Worlds

    I've been out of the game for awhile, and the last I knew, Worlds invites were given to the top 40 TCG players in North America. Now, I see that my friends are clinching invites already, often stating "x/300" numbers. Does this mean that invites are given to ALL players who reach 300 CP in a...

    been away - What's the current yearly tournament schedule?

    I've been away from the game since 2012, at which point we had CCs around the holidays, Regionals in November and April, States in March, Spring and Autumn BRs, Nationals in the summer, and Worlds in August. We also had new sets / Prereleases in February, May, August, and November. While away...

    Are the PTCGO codes received via email unique or not?

    Are the codes that players receive by email (Winter-themed, etc.) unique (one-time use for one user), or does everyone receive the same exact code? The standard codes from packs and theme decks are obviously the former, but since these are free, I'm not sure. BTW, I know I posted practicality...

    looking for carrying case for 3DS XL

    I'm looking for a carrying case for my 3DS XL (or other DS systems). I want something with a few compartments (not a ton) and a shoulder strap, but that isn't too big. I want the DS system to be easy to remove, rather than having to undo a zipper and remove it from a velcro compartment like...

    returning after hiatus since 2012 Spring Regionals

    I've been playing Pokémon TCG since 2001 (with a brief hiatus in 2002-2003), but I haven't played or gotten many new cards at all since 2012 Spring Regionals. I want to get back into the game. I'm not going to make it to Winter Regionals, but I'm definitely planning on going to States and...

    3DS or 3DS XL?

    I'm getting either a 3DS or a 3DS XL, but can't decide on which. Here are my thoughts on the XL: pros: *bigger screen *better and more easily-accessible stylus *better home, start, and select buttons *better physical feel *longer battery life (though I hear it's not as much longer as...

    suggestions for a multi-deck carrying case

    I could use a new carrying case for all my decks. My UltraPro has served me well, but it's 10 years old and the plastic tray inside is really falling apart. I need something that can hold several decks inside prerelease-type deck boxes, a container of dice (securely without them spilling or...

    Do Target B/W games still come with Lucario codes?

    Do copies of Black and White sold in American Target stores still come with codes for Justified Lucario? I've heard conflicting answers to this; most sites (such as Bulbapedia) list the event as having run from January to April, but Serebii (who didn't even report it until May 22) lists it as...

    briefly used Black/White video game

    I may buy an extra Black or White version, play through it, get Keldeo and any other promotions, then trade everything off of it and sell it. What would be a good price? It would be no more than a few months old and [presumably] kept in good condition (no scratches on cartridge label, etc.)...

    looking for a non-cardboard container designed for mass quantities of cards

    I have hundreds of cards from every English set ever released, and I need a good way to organize them. I have been using these cardboard containers. However, since they're cardboard, they wear down easily from lots of contact (as is somewhat evident in the image). I'd like to find something...

    Mewtwo ex (EX Ruby & Sapphire) and Mewtwo-EX (Next Destinies)

    Are these cards considered to have the same name or not? For example, would I be able to have 4 Mewtwo ex (EX Ruby & Sapphire) and 4 Mewtwo-EX (Next Destinies) in an unlimited deck?

    TCG and VG: which is more luck, and which is more strategy?

    As we all know, both luck and strategy play major roles in both the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the video games. Luck in the TCG ultimately boils down to "luck of the draw" (which includes opening hands, prizes, and topdecks) and coin flips. The video game "luck list" is a bit more...

    Durant - is the time limit too dangerous?

    Durant can certainly work, but in a tournament, the judges' stopwatches are its enemy. If time is called, the Durant player will ALWAYS lose if they can't deplete their opponent's deck in the first 2 of the extra 3 turns (if they do it on turn 3, they will lose by prizes since there will not be...

    sealed Ho-oh/Lugia playmat

    How much is a sealed Ho-oh/Lugia playmat worth? I won 2 of them in raffles this past season and am considering selling one or both of them. The only sealed one I could find on eBay was $49.99. Thanks!

    Legendary Birds deck box (from 2004)

    In 2004, winners of City Championships received a prize pack when they checked in at the State Championship. Inside this prize pack was a deck box featuring all 3 of the original legendary birds (not to be confused with the Articuno deck box, Zapdos deck box, and Moltres deck box that were...
