Please read this PoJo cause it's important...
     Ok now I just visited the PoJo and checked out many of the pokemon card 
tips. I've noticed alot of things the majority of the tips say Chansey and 
Charizard rule and are the best cards you can get. The majority also states 
that the Lightning type cards suck espeacially Pikachu and Raichu. Well some 
of these are true others are just plain whack. To become very good at 
pokemon card playing you must understand that every card has it's advantages 
and dis-advantages. Like Chansey for instance i agree that this has to be 
one of the best cards out there and recomend to put a couple in your deck. 
But still it has downsides and they can drasticaly change the game. For 
instance a simple card like Onix can do some major damage to chansey first 
the chansey does double edge but onix still has 10 HP left now onix can just 
keep attacking chansey until it's trainer (if it's trainer) gets its HP up. 
But chansey is very good in lots of situations but bad in situations against 
pokemon with more then 80 HP or pokemon that have abilities to boost their 
defense. Charizard can be lethal but it takes a ton of fire energy to do so. 
Which gives the defending pokemon time to take him out. But if you have 
cards like prof. oak or double colorless energy you can get around this. 
Still though you have to worry for about another 2 turns before you can get 
all his energy ready.
       Then there's the Lightning cards which i think are the most 
mis-understood cards of all. I think these cards can be the most powerful 
cards you can possibly have in the beggining but the setbacks of most of 
their attacks get annoying near the end, and can be a real pain. What should 
you do about this? When using lightning types you should use realiable card 
types like fire or fighting so you'll know you have cards to back up the 
lightning type's dis-advantages. Also add lots of potions to your deck.
   Also Pikachu and Raichu, now for one thing whoever buys these cards just 
beacause they're cute are idiots. These cards are powerful and can be used 
to your definate advantage. Pikachu has one fast attack Gnaw that does only 
10 damage but it only takes 1 colorles. Now his other attack is awesome, it 
takes only 1 lightning eneryg and 1 colorless energy and does 30 damage with 
only a possible setback of 10 damage! All you need to get that 10 damage 
back is a potion. Raichu i think is one of the most powerful cards, it's 
first attack agility does 20 damage and can prevent all damage and effects 
of the opponents next attack! It's other attack is just like double edge and 
much better, it does 80 damage and can only possibly take 30 damage 
(remember chansey takes 80 damage for sure)! So that's it for the most 
misunderstood cards, if you have any questions or comments send them to:
