Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Not sure if this has been posted anywhere, but the Pokemon TCG is now free to play online (well, you can play for free with theme decks and unlock additional decks as you go).
hey, this looks awesome. i'm not a hardcore enthusiast and redshark was a little to diy for my tastes (i'm a lazy fucker) so hopefully this will be fun
It is "free", but to obtain additional cards you need to buy packs and decks in real life and input the code on the back of the pack/box. Otherwise, you only have the cards the game provides you with.
Awesome game. In single player, you can only use default decks given to you or purchased at the store. Multiplayer allows you to mix and match your various decks, cards, etc.
