Hello Card Gamers,

Hope this is the correct group for TCG and Pokemon specifics. I tried in
Usenet groups but didn't get replies, I think those groups are dead and
people have moved on (to where?).

My children, below 10, are showing a keen interest in Pokemon (anime and console games), recently they noticed the TCG element and expressed an interest.

In order to set them on the correct path I have tried to educate myself on
the game; the Generations, Themes, Tins, Trainer Boxes, etc. I understand
some of this. If I am correct, you can buy cards from any generation to play any other gen, but the later gens could contain more powerful Pokemon. This
can be evened out with Booster packs.

So I am ready to purchase Theme or Trainer boxes, but am struggling to find
the ones they are keen on, Dark Hammer and Enchanted Echo. So finally my questions:

1) Where do you buy cards from (preferably on-line due to my location)?
2) Is it normal for cards to be hard to purchase, should I purchase
whatever packs I see?

Alright, thanks for reading this far, hope to chat with you all soon,
RenMas
