Oh hey Generations was added at some point and was street released yesterday. I just looked at the spoiler and the M-Charizard and Jolteon look pretty dope but I really want some of those imakunis.

They English printed Imakuni??

Oh man. It's like playing the Pokemon TCG Gameboy game all over again. :swoon:

You can only actively get cards from the currently legal sets in the game's Standard format. That is, using the Coins and whatnot in the client itself.

You CAN get older cards, but you need Code Cards from those packs/decks. And the original code card system was different than the current system, so I'm not sure if the HGSS sets' code cards would even work properly now. Also, just getting them isn't really easy since those sets are so old comparatively.

From what I remember, every now and then they'll put up a pack bundle from older sets in the shop for Coins, but nothing Pre-HGSS though.

As the owner of a HGSS deck on PTCGO I can say the old codes work just fine.

If you want to get yourself even madder at the quirks of this game's tourney scene.

One of these was legal for play in America and one of these is a lot cooler looking than the other but wasn't legal:

I'm sure you can guess which is which.
