i have 4-4-2-2-2 in my deck.....
7-8 basic may work if the pokemon can combo with each other or it can work well by itself....

I have 9 Poke' in my deck, and sometimes i don't get any ba6. and sometimes it can be really painful. eg. i have no ba6 in my startin' hand, and my opp gets Totodile d and rare candy. i get another hand, opp draws `gatr d...and i'm playing T-tar d ex deck...140 damage per turn(Sharp Fang + Battle Aura + WK).

i guess getting too little basic pokemon can be really bad for getting a bad starting hand >.<"
