Pogeymon TCG

I play MTG... That's vaguely a tiny bit like Pokemon. My local waterstones sells the cards, yours might.

You're calling yourself a nerd...around a bunch of WoW players?

You shouldn't need about worrying whether you'd be judged or not.

Otherwise, I used to collect the cards when I was younger and I do know where I could get some, but all in all, I don't have a clue how to play them.

Ah, the memories!
I can shamelessly admit that I too used to collect and battle with those, when they came out. Quit because of same reasons as you too...
Also for the fact that I was scroogy with my monies and because of that my decks were mostly thrown together from any cards I happened to have gotten my hands in...

I've never gotten the urge to restart the hobby (I did buy pokemon Pearl, when it was released, and tried to breed myself a tournament team, but found it was too much of an effort...)

Coming to your questions: I have little knowledge about shopping seeing that I don't live in England... but one would think there'd be specialised shops for trading cards. Prolly the same ones that sell Warhammer thingies (counting out the Games Workshop -shops). And there's the everloving internets too!

I'm not sure, if the rules have been updated during these years (probably have! xD), but atleast I never saw anything that forbid mingling different series together. Unless you find something specific (a list of out of date sets for example) I doubt that there'd be anything preventing you to have a little variety.

So this was a bit useless post,
but you cannot fight that feeling of nostalgy.

Ive got an 18 inch figure of Ash (Bruce Cambell) on my desk at work. So don't worry Oj, your among freinds

And well I'd say as Halya said, waterstones defiantely. Or go online to some card shop websites (easy enough to find) and buy them direct in the mail. Easy enough and can work out cheaper in bulk , say if you buy a box.

I can't play trading cards for the life of me however Closest ive got to playing MTG is the XBLA game.

Given the topic title, I agree and I hope so too...

But yeah, in general:

^ that

Pokemon ftw.. Or it used to be before derp pokemonz of the last generations.

COLLECT SERIES 1 PLX

Do you not have a Forbidden Planet near you? They have one hell of a collection of pokemon cards, usually.

Gamestation is also an alternative to Waterstones if you want reasonable prices.

I haven't played pokemon cards since I was 12. And that was.. .. ... ... ... 11 years ago! I still play the games though..

I use to have a Charizard card, then some dude knocked me over and someone stole it in the rush. Even with my rare item finder qq.

*Gets a picture of the bullied ginger kid in the schoolyard walking around with an item-finder card in the hand, Looking for the stolen Charizard card.*

/gigglesnort

The charm of primary school. Was 10-12 years ago now. But yeah what I meant was my item finder went missing too

Ohhh!.... now I understand *Nods sagely.*

Have one of these somewhere.

Because hooters are aswesome ^.^

I still have about 500 first generation cards.

Brings back memories, the playground alive with the sound of "I'll trade two Pidgey's for a Pikachu!", the massive wads of cards that wouldnt fit in pockets, the SHINIES! I had a special wad of cards that were only shinies just to show off - held with an elastic band of course (srs bsns)

Never actually played the game and only had the original series cards

Edit: My charizard > all

I remember how happy I was when I got my Charizard in a booster pack. I didn't play the game either and only collected the original series.

@OP Your font colour is #!@]*"8 annoying

OP is wannabe Wubeh.

R.I.P. Wubeh :<

Annoying purple is annoying.

I see every single word, letter, number....everything as a different bloody colour all the time, even people, buildings, music...everything.

How the hell do you think I feel having to read typing all the time knowing it feels like I'm eating a rainbow?

Just feel lucky YOU don't have Synaesthesia.

Err.... wut? It's kind of hard to feel lucky if you have a hard time placing yourself in somebody elses shoes -- seeing it's hard to reproduce that state. But aaaaanyway; I gave away all my first generation trading cards -- had like a hundred of them. Good times though.
