It seems like many of you just collect the cards. Do any of you actually have a decent deck? Would it be considered tournament worthy?

I use sort of Grass/Psychic healing deck mainly involving Leafeon and Gardevoir. I haven't purchased cards in nearly a year, but I still think my deck is pretty good. I've never entered a TCG tournament and don't think I ever will, but I know a couple of people that are really into that sort of thing.

What about you guys? Do you play the TCG? How good are you? Would you consider entering a tournament?

Ever heard of YVD(Yu-Gi-Oh Virtual Desktop)? It's a duel simulator using Yu-Gi-Oh cards, you can build a deck and play against your buddies online if you both have Hamachi. While it's one of the many Yu-Gi-Oh dueling programs, I don't know if there's any for the Pokémon TCG...If there was one, I'd probably get it and play it a lot, then I could say I play it competitvely. :3

Yeah, I use YVD actually. There is one for Pokemon, but I've never tried it out.

I do actually have a deck. Its a team rocket deck. I used to battle my brother but i never joined a tournament. I thought about it though.

I wish there were some way you could play online. There's no one that I know of that plays the game.

I still like collecting the cards and organizing them into decks, though. I have a fully completed Grass/Water deck, but I'm not sure if it's good.

I made a steel deck. It would be Electric if I had a Rotom card. The highlights of my deck are Registeel STAR and Dialga.

An alternative to redshark is Apprentice, it's the older of the two programs.

And yes, I played competitively in the past, but I don't really have time these days to do so anymore ;/

I went on Serebii.net just now, and it says there will soon be an official way to play the TCG online. http://www.pokemontcg.com/

All I can say is: OH MY ARCEUS THIS IS THE GREATEST THING TPC CAME UP WITH! (Article on Serebii.net: http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml (The one titled "Tuesday: Pokemon Movie Details + Official TCG Simulation))

So yeah, when this thing is available, I'm definitely going to be playing the TCG competitively.

Redshark is a good tcg simulator. I stopped playing the real thing because there were way too many power creeps. I spent way too much than I should have :/

I recently brought a starter deck just so I could see some Pokemon cards, i lost my complete set of the original cards when moving. I was gutted, still sad now actually. ahaa
