Help The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

Thank you all for your responses. I will look around and see if I can find a cheap booster box somewhere! I got a FA Virizion EX, Genesect EX, and a Secret Rare Dusknoir from my Plasma Blast Elite Trainer Box, so I thought I would ask! Thank you all for your input!

Yeah, my brother and I both bought an Plasma Blast Elite Trainer Box and neither of us got a single Ultra Rare...
 
I was wondering should I buy the new xerneas trainer box when it's out 8 booster packs and the box for storing swaps is the main appeal but as I plan to get a deck soon n start battling against my bro all the extra bits are surely worth it aren't they? Has anyone else had previous ones? Are they good quality?
 
The box is very heavy cardboard, but use will make it look bad quickly. If you want to waste money, go ahead and buy. I am only buying to report on for PokeBeach.
 
I'm planning on buying a booster box but i dont know which one to get out of Legendary treasures or the upcoming X & Y series, I cant decide as Legandary treasures have most of the best cards from the black & white series with impressive EX's such as darkrai and keldeo, but X & Y is introducing Mega's and they look interesting as well as having some of the new pokemon in and a new type. which one should you think i should buy?

any help would be great:):)

Personally I would go with X and Y, because of all the awesome new cards, and because with the insane pull rates in Legendary Treasures, you're most likely going to get multiple of the cards that are easily to pull, such as the Ultra Rares from the Radiant Collection.
 
yh I have already bought a legendary treasure booster box and got some really good pulls but i also got 3 meloetta's and 3 shaymin so i was leaning more to X and Y, mainly for the nostalgia of having the new pokemon in card form
 
I thought I was the only person who was getting shaymin and meleotta repeatedly in legendary treasures lol but yeah I would definately go for an xy box after getting the japanese cards I can't wait to pull the English full arts xerneas is incredible. Hope he's in my booster box!!
 
yh it was becoming a joke at the amount of shamin's and meloetta's i was getting, i only got 4 regular EX's which i know wasn't bad but i watched videos of people getting 5 or 6. me too full art yveltal is something i cant wait to pull:D:D:D
 
I disagree actually on the Elite Trainer Box, as long as we're not talking about the Plasma Storm ones which are just not as good as the newer ones. If you are a BRAND NEW player or someone who doesn't have anything to start out with, the box is a great value. A storage place for your cards, sleeves, dice (which will server as damage counters + a clear one for "coin flipping") and energy (10 of everything iirc?). The new XY boxes will actually include fairy energy which is far superior to buying a Kalos starter deck for the energy. If the starter decks for XY have usable stuff (basic Xerneas/Yvetal Aromatisse etc) then you could always consider those...(haha .-.) But yeah, I would definitely do an elite trainer box for XY set and then perhaps a box or two to start things off, one XY one Legendary Treasures. ((Also something to note that the Genesect collection box has revs of many staples that are being used but ofc you can always trade around with people out of your XY stuff))

World Championship Decks

So I've been thinking of getting some World Championship Decks from past formats. Previous formats really intrigue me, and I think it'd be really cool to experience them. The only problem is I don't know which ones are good, or what decks of that year I should get. Does anyone have any recommendations? I don't want to purchase a pair only to find out one was a hard counter to the other. I also don't really want the 2011, 2012, or the 2013 ones. I know those formats very well (well, not so much 2011), and they weren't good enough to the point that I want to replay any of them.

Any help would be appreciated; thanks!

Looking to buy a Playmat that is Pokémon related or I can have a custom image of my choice. Don't really want to go over 25$ and I typically don't want the standard Pokémon B&W made by Ultra Pro or really any solid color ones unless they're under 10$ after shipping

I'm more interested in the "mouse-pad" playmats. I know I can get some really good looking paper ones for relatively cheap.

I bought 3 2009 ones and I like them a lot. I feel that anything from 2008-2011 is good, I always liked the primes, LV.X's, legends, and SP stuffs.

I have red and blue plain design Dek-Prot mats and they can also be used as mouse pads as it says on the box, there a good quality material and after shipping they only cost me £6.50 which i think is around $10.
 
New Player- Needs help

Hello one and all.

My name is Martin (good for pokemart) and I am looking at getting in to the Pokemon TCG. I used to play a little bit, but nothing serious (had a Jumpluff deck a few years ago) I have been informed that there is a little tournament at my local gaming club in the next few weeks, and would like to attend. I enjoy playing TCGs competitively, and have had some success with Yugioh and MTG.

I am interested in what packs are best to buy as a new player (UK) and whether the starter decks are any good for the sets in the current rotation?

My girlfriend is also interested in playing the game, and would like to join me in the tournament. She is a fan of cute pokemon, and would like an easy(ish) deck to play around these. As for myself, I would like to play a top tier deck, at a low cost to begin with, and as I grow in skill, move up to more expensive decks.

I hope this post is in the right place, any mod feel free to move it to the correct location.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for any reply in advance.

Martin- Pokemart123
