Getting started

Hello everyone! I recently got into Pokémon TCG and I'm gonna start collecting cards and possibly to play with them too if I get a oppoturnity :) But I'd like to have your advice to get my new hobby started. Should I buy more those booster packs to get more chances to get a good card, or should I buy one or two of those theme decks which have been built already and includes that coin, some complete evolution lines and other things?

I already ordered 5 Noble Victories booster packs because I just couldnt hold it xD But I'd like to still hear your opinion.
Thanks in advance!

Packs.....
 
Personally, I really like the theme decks to get started with. They supply you with a couple good trainers and decent energy to get started with. Many of them have decent Pokemon lines in them too, so that always helps when you're just starting out with nothing at your disposal.

Same here. I started with a theme deck as well. They're really easy to work with and build off of. ^^
 
mhm, mhm, best advice anyone can ever give, get a starter deck, go to a pokemon league in your town, join and from there you'll be able to get better advice on the spot. It's so hard to start the game unless you get the experience of playing against other people, that way you can understand were to go from there.
 
Unfortunately I live in Finland and in general Pokémon isn't that big of a deal in Europe. I usually is known of the anime and games and usually it is considered as kids thing but I think that it is great hobby to have!
So sadly there is no leagues here (I believe O_o if here is, they are deep underground) so I think my hobby will mostly be collecting cards but maybe some day I can get into battling more :) But want to battle on TCGO when I get enough cards and experience
 
Wow. So there is some legues in Finland. Just wow. Thanks man! Lets see how this will get going :)
 
I would say packs. They contain more variety and you have the chance of scoring big!
 
Every one says buy Packs, but really if your just starting out Theme decks or pre-constructed decks are alot better because you get Pokemon,Trainers/supporters and Energys. With booster packs you really taking a chance. I would reccomend you buy the HS Trainer kit it comes with 2, 30 card decks that you can play with a friend. Plus it comes with alot of good Trainer/Supporters
 
Also get the Trainer Kits, as they have GREAT cards (especially Trainers).
