The last aspect I would like to review is how easily each Starter Deck can be improved to make it suitable for tournaments (meta competitive play)
Anything you put into your deck, other than situational spells like Counterspell, is going to be something you want again
If you feel that your opponent is playing slowly in an attempt to stop you from winning then you are within your rights to ask them to speed up or in extreme cases you can call a judge to ask them to hurry up a bit
These cards have higher stats and more powerful attacks, but reward three points when knocked out, which would immediately end the match
This comes as part of a flurry of announcements from The Pokmon Company regarding plans to celebrate 25 years of the series global cultural dominance across games, anime, toys and collectible cards
From the perspective of someone who is learning Pokemon Cards partly as an exercise to practice Japanese reading skills, I felt it was worthwhile exercise
