Before I start I am not slating Pokemon just saying why I went off Pokemon cards.
When the Pokemon craze started everyone was buying pokemon cards mainly to collect, but a few like me, to play.
People would spends all their money on Pokemon cards, leaving people like me, who didn't no chance of swapping cards for something I wanted.
The biggest problem was that they were too expensive £2.50 for 11 cards with most of them useless or ones I had loads of times over. If you actually wanted decent cards to play the game you had to spends so much money to get the ones you want in a pack.
Even with my low cost deck, I had no one to play with. Everyone was more interested in collecting them. Why? You could get stickers of the same Pokemon for much cheaper prices.
The system of play was brilliant however and I desperately wanted to play someone.
In the end I just gave up, there were so many new cards, I just couldn't be bothered to spend my money on pieces of card anymore.
With the number of combinations of cards why not make an online card game where you can use whichever cards you like to make your own deck and battle people all over the world. That would be worth doing.

Is there anyway to play the Pokemon TCG on the internet, because it could breathe new life into the game.
The Pokemon TCG became far too commercialised. Also, even though Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, at the TCG's peak I would have to travel to Glasgow. Now to play I must go to Forfar! Also with a new set released weekly in Japan, and the games on consoles unfortunately becoming less popular, I think it is only America keeping it alive
And even for them, its a struggle.
