Well, figured i would try making a Pokemon TCG game here on serebii.
Here is how it would work, this thread will be where you make the requests for a card battle, where you would post your moves during your turns, and so on.
Now, seeing as the card game can be easily cheated when you just have to "Trust your opponent" that they actually drew the card the said they drawed, this is how we will play it.
We will have a list (Anyone who wants to be on this list, just ask me and ill put you on there) if you are on that list you can be requested to be a neutral party in that card battle. I will get into what this will entail later in the post. (I will use the word Judge in place of neutral party in this post)
For those who want to have a card battle, this is the procedure you would follow:
#1 Make your Deck and make sure it follows this format:
1 Name of card - set - number of the card in the set
Examples:
1 Bulbasaur - Base - 44/102
2 Ivysaur - EX Crystal Guardians - 35/100
3 Venusaur - Secret Wonders - 20/132
You will do that for each card in your deck, and there must be 60 cards for the Judge to accept your deck.
Tips and Requirements for deck making:
1) Use the serebii Cardex for info on the cards, it has almost all of them in there, and you can figure out what set a card is from, and the number of the card in the set.
2) Do not type
1 Bulbasaur - Base - 44/102 x4
If you want more than one of any given card in your deck then type it like this (you will see why later):
1 Bulbasaur - Base - 44/102
2 Bulbasaur - Base - 44/102
3 Bulbasaur - Base - 44/102
Remember, you must have 60 cards listed in this way to play.
3) You do not have to type a set for energy cards, just type:
1 Energy - Grass
2 Energy - Water
3 Energy - Fire
Etc.
4) Here is a sample deck, it shows the correct format for typing out your deck:

#2 You would post in the thread and find an opponent and a neutral user to judge the card battle.
#3 You will Pm your Deck (With the correct format) to the judge.
#4 Whenever you are required to Draw a card, shuffle your deck, search your deck, flip a coin, etc, you must notify the judge.
For the Neutral Users (Judges)
These are our current Judges:
ansem the wise
If you want to be put on the list, just let me know.
Once you have been contacted on this thread to judge a battle, this is what you should do:
#1
Get both players decks (I would recommend using a word processor to store them until the battle is over)
#2
Copy and paste the decks they gave you into this site:
http://www.random.org/lists/
Or a similar site, and use it to randomize/"Shuffle" the deck and flip a coin. (I would just type in:
Heads
Tails
And see which one comes outs on the top of the list)
#4
This is the format that I will be using when I judge a match (Use whatever is good for you) for the word processor:
Deck
(I will put the cards currently in the deck here)
Prize Cards
(I will C+P the first 6 cards off the randomizer into this spot)
Discard
(Its a good idea to keep track if a card is discarded, because they may come back into play later)
In-Hand cards
(cards that are in the hands of the players)
In-Play cards
(...Self-Explanatory)
I just like to keep track of where all 60 cards are.
And I would keep 2 of these, one for each player in the game.
Note to the player:
When posting, i would use this format:
Active pokemon: Bulbasaur - Base - 44/102 - HP40
Attached: Energy - Grass, Energy Grass, Hit counter
