i see that there are a lot of players of pokemon and good players also. And how does it come they're good?? well they get good cards. How do they get them?? Trading off corse!!! But the biggest part of all BUY those cards!! Now i saw a little guy who saw a blintsering Blastoise 1st edition. His parents where there to. The guy asked 700 bef or 17.50$. He said he wanna to use it for something else. And you know what??? He bought the blastoise!!! Well i think you can't spill the money your parents are working for all day just to buy cards. If you work for the money i would agree to it but not when the money comes from someone else who worked for the money. Now i know that there are maney of you players who wouldn't agree with me but i think the only fair way to buy them is to work for them yourself. I hope u make the right decission. thanks for reading this.
