First off I want to say that I have been collecting and playing pokemon cards since I was 8-9 years old (I'm 18 now). However, despite my large-ish collection (1,000+ cards) and longevity of being a pokemon fan, I have just RECENTLY got into playing the TCG game the "real" way 
. I always used to play pokemon cards with my friends when we were younger but we would always make up our own games and they were much more simple and fun at the time. Anyways, I have been playing -somewhat- competitively recently, and I have built my own 60 card deck from scratch. It is not tourney legal as most of the cards in it are really old (Most of my pokemon card collection is comprised of cards from the original Base Set up until the EX expansion series) However, I am an amateur at deck building, so please keep that in mind, I would appreciate much feedback and advice, and very little of: " ... Worst deck ever...."
Anyways, here it is:
Pokémon: x10
Here is what it I have done with it so far:
Right away it was pretty bad, I did a little configuring, and now I can actually beat people with it (I have beat just locals and friends with it a few times)
However, the one thing I noticed about my deck, is that I think I may have too many trainers in it... My deck always runs out before my opponent., and I sometimes lose in this way.
Oh, and the reason I don't have any EX pokemon in my deck is because the only EX pokes I have are the old cards, from the EX series when they were first introduced. I'm sure for those of you who know, it is not worth it for your opponent to take 2 prize cards when your EX poke' can be killed just as easy as any other card
