Help New to Pokemon TCG!

[chongjasmine]

Hello all! I am a newbie to the world of Pokemon TCG!
I just registered an account with TCG live.
I wonder how to build my own deck. There is so many cards to choose from.
I will appreciate if you can give me some tips to begin building my deck.
The pre-set deck which TCG gives sucks.
I keep losing every battle with it.
Hence, I will like to build my own deck.
Thanks.

P/S: I will also appreciate if you can let me know where I can receive Pokemon TCG codes.

If you don't know how to play the game then you shouldn't be making your own decks. Just netdeck until you get a grasp of the game and how decks are built. You can get lists from sites like Limitless. If you really want to play your own build, then I suggest you start by reading JustinBasil's guide.
You can receive pokémon tcg codes by buying official products or you can buy just the codes from sites online.

Finally! Someone I can talk to about strategies while they stare at me dumbfounded! Naw. I’d be happy to help. I can explain how to play, AND also show you some cool decks and how to make one. Just send me a private message. I got you man. And welcome to the family!
