Rules?

I havn't played the pokemon card game in a long time. And some of the new cards confuse me. Does anyone know where I can find a rule book for the new generation of cards? And can an old card evole into a new card or visevrsia?
 
Or, if you want more in-depth rules, visit www.go-pokemon.com - they've got PDFs there with rule sheets and the like.

To answer your gameplay question, yes. An old card can evolve into a new card, and a new card can evolve into an old card.
 
However, for most tournament play, you can not use the old cards. I believe that you can not currently use anything issued prior to EX Deoxys, but, please correct me if I'm wrong.

You also can not use any cards that were issued in Champion deck sets(they have a different border and generally have a signature on the card of the person who's deck the card originated from).

Sadly, as the cards are becoming more powerful, there isn't much sense to using the old cards. When the first sets were originally released, base set Charizard's HP of 120 was astronomically high. However, the EX cards changed that with cards carrying HPs of 150 and 160. The drawback to using them was that your opponent took two prize cards when they were defeated. However, with the advent of the Lv. X cards, you no longer have to worry about that additional effect, but the LV. X card acts as a 3rd evolution.

idk, i was using me olde deck based on the neo genesis maganium with herbal scent against some guy who was using a fire deck based on the delta species, this was only a couple of weex ago btw and i licked him good
he had 5 prizes left and and was using the fire/steel salamences from which set idk

but yea poekmon r becoming obscenely powerful, olde venusaur was 4 grass 60 dmg, now its 1 grass 2 colourless 50 dmg, that ratio is completly off


i also recomend against getting dp cards cuz their weaknesses and resistances are all messed up, and there's evn atks that dont cost any energies

that's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. What's wrong with pokemon having smaller weaknesses and resistances, and energyless attacks? Nothing. They're just new game mechanics that have been introduced to keep the game interesting.
 
I prefer the ex's than the Lv. X. It's more simple.
