Base set would be a good place to start.
I'm a full on collector myself, and I started by attending Prereleases and buying packs of the newest sets. Starting with the HGSS series would be a good choice, since they are going to stay in rotation for a good while and have a large number of awesome cards like Primes and Legends.
Don't buy packs. Buy singles. Or better yet, trade for them.
If you start a trade thread here on PokeGym, and prove yourself a good trustworthy trader, you can complete any set you like relatively quickly. Also, base set Charizard isn't really all that rare. You can get one from the unlimited set for about $12-15 in trade value or buy one for about the same price.

Im also looking for the cheaper route so Which way would be cheaper?
Assuming you mean buying singles or packs, there's actually another way to go: Buying the complete set. If you don't attend Prereleases, this is probably the cheapest way to go. I personally never have done so because I go to prereleases and enjoy opening packs. If there are select cards you want, obviously singles is the best choice.
haha i was wondering the exact same thing and yea id rather get a box than a whole set-clueless question-
What exactly does one do at a prerelease?)

Just know when you get a booster box, you still might not get all the cards of the set Like LV Xs, Primes, Legends, Secret Rares etc :thumb:
i know i watch alot of unboxings on youtube haha:lol: i also want to collect gold stars exept there expensive do you know a good way to get them cheap or would the best way be to trade:nonono:
Get packs then that have gold stars in them?
Like if you like those better than LV Xs, then get like those types of packs (booster box?)
If not, I suggest looking for the best deals possible to build up a little portfolio of great cards to trade, knowing that some of the stars are expensive :thumb:
Thanks i looked it up on eBay and the cards are 30 and up individualy :/, but anyway hopefully ill start to form a good collection then maybe we can trade lol
But you can only have so many cards to trade, and then what? I say, buy packs until you have most of the set, then trade for the ones you need.
How exactly would you be able to trade through pokegym, and I saw a base set shadowless charizard for a two thousand on ebay, also how do you know if they are a trusted trader
