I have something to say about people who don't use energy or basic pokemon. 
If you just use evolved pokemon like their basic pokemon and no energy at 
all, you shouldn't consider yourself a pokemon TCG player! I've seen people 
play games like this, one has a charizard and no other pokemon in his hand, 
the other had an ivysaur. Player one puts out charizard and uses fire spin. 
BOOM! Game set. Player one. I hate games like this!!!!  Theres no skill what 
so ever. My friends say, It's only fun if you don't use energy, or it's only 
fun if you have a charizard and don't need a charmander or charmeleon out. 
About the time that they play'd that game, there was some kid n a tournament 
somewhere who lost because he couldn't use his awsome fire deck that was 
suppoused to have the king of fire pokemon in it. if you play like this. 
Shame on you!
