We have seen over 20 years of Pokemon Cards and a lot of different variations. I'll do my best in this video to provide a history of the different tiers of cards that have been released since the Base Set.
I will discuss Shining Pokemon, Pokemon ex, Pokemon Prime, Pokemon Lv X, Pokemon EX, Mega EX, BREAK, Pokemon GX, Tag Team GX, Pokemon V, VMAX, and Amazing Rares.
A lot of what I will talk about in this video has to do with the mechanics of the TCG as well as some commentary on the artistic treatment of these different cards!

I think the most alienating thing about the pokemon TCG has always been the power creep and the tiers. A new player looks at a "ultra mega ex, gx tag team snorlax mewtwo" or whatever and their just like "wtf even is that?" So thanks for this.

Thanks so much for this. This really helped inform me about all the formats I didn’t know (I only knew EX, GX, and Tag Team). Btw the one other thing I’d say that stood out about tag team pokemon was their GX attack. It had an initial pretty powerful effect but they all had a similar extra clause if you had extra energy attached

i just feel that grass types need a little boost. on the tcgo, ive noticed that the grass special energy isnt really all that useful as not many people focus around special affects when people already counter it with pokemon center lady anyway. also most if not all grass types dont have any resistance which is a bummer because grass types arnt all that strong on their own without boosts and help from other cards. i play a grass type only deck which doubles as a evo deck (no special cards like EX's or tag teams) and even then, theres only a few grass types out there that can really hold there own even when u get a bad start. either than that u highly relying on hope to be able to get an early game boost and kick to doing damage and evolving b4 the opponent puts down enough energy and special energy and tools and cards used to just 1 shot alot of grass types. metal type decks are starting to be used now a fair amount so metal types are resistant to grass and grass is weak to fire. also the grass types are only strong against water and dark which dark is hardly used rn and water isnt really used rn either unless people are expecting a high wave of players using fire type decks because everyone loves charizard and has to use it. (so typical of people these days. using the same old things and liking what everyone else likes instead of making their own choice and opinions)

Huge thumbs up! Thanks so very much for explaining this. I think the new Scarlet and Violet generation 'ex' has been the best iteration of OP cards in history. It's as if they're at least finally starting to comprehend the importance of balance, pacing, evolution. The new 'ex' can come in basics or evolutions. But they all stay true to their designation evolutions according to the Pokédex. No more insane inconsistencies. And they also seem much more balanced out. They aren't like GX cards that have a one-time super. I don't know if you can tell any other differences between GX and the current ex. But I think what we have now is the most significant improvement this TCG has ever had compared to any previous generation.

You explained them at the right level when I stopped. Cuz when I downloaded this pokemon trading card game app, it showed me all these newer series cards and I was like "what the hell did I miss all these years? What's this card? Why the hell do these cards have like 260 HP (since the highest old was like 130 HP or something) What does this skill mean, etc.?"

And now there’s VSTAR cards that basically have GX attacks in their VSTAR power, but some VSTAR cards have an ability that you can use once per game instead of an attack. And soon to come are the Scarlet and Violet set that brings back ex!

can i just say that card grading imo is just a free exploit to gain more money just because of the hype and interest around it. alot of the cards that get bumped up in price arnt all actually rare as people say like alot of the recent ones and rainbow rares and stuff but they get bumped up in price anyway despite how easy and recent they were and easy to get a hold of. id understand cards like from the 1st ever packs but all grading ever does its self is boost the price which makes no sense. the card looks neat so it costs £250 more. but why? i dont get the logic behind it. its a card ur meant to be collecting over trading or selling. to me grading is an easy rip off unless in some cases it actually makes sense then i can get behind it. its also never a fixed price and fixed prices are always rip off prices if u do the correct research on it. say u trade someone a skin in a game say equal of value but its cost varies due to a non fixed price and market centered around people buying and selling those items. at one point, that price will eventually change and when it does, someone from that trade say a year down the line, loses out on payment even if its just a very small amount, but this becomes a scam although its considered fair. this is why i dont like non fixed markets anymore. if theres a non fixed market prices change people lose out. its also annoying to know the fact of regardless who makes the trade and loses and gains from this, the fact that there is price manipulation which people can so easily alter is why these things become so unfair and illogical.

Now I know more about what those cards are, very interesting (and intimidating in terms of deck building). Just one mystery left, what are Legend cards and why they are split into 2 (oh, and why they are apparently discontinued)

So basically, LEGEND cards are two Pokémon as one so that’s why they are two, a bit like V-UNION. They were only around in the X and Y series (2013-16) so that’s why they have been discontinued.

I think I came in at a GREAT time to play the TCG, setting that there are now rapid/single/fusion strikes. It reminds me of when we played the games as kids and we had a different copy of the game. I chose a Rapid Strike kanto theme deck with a couple single strikes thrown in like beedrill. Tucking a surprise V-Union Mewtwo as a response to big cards in my last turns, cause I can use Machamp and a toughness cape to jump him up to 500hp with 4 clefables healing 80hp per turn, he can heal 200, hit for 300 or distribute 16 damage counters as he sees fit. But you put him together in 4 peices from your discard pile. Long story short, I can't wait for the look on their face when they realize my Cloyster isn't my main pokemon, they were the stall. Gotta choose who stays and goes, but the synergy combos look like I'll always have options in this build. I'm feeling a little spoiled at how few energies I can get away with in this game format, Magic decks take somewhere around 20+ to work right.

Just to say one that he forgot about, Prism Star cards were introduced in Sun and Moon Ultra Prism, and they worked like regular cards except that they would go in the Lost Zone (off the playmat) instead of the discard pile. These cards could be Pokémon or trainer cards.

thanks for the video, the one thing that really gets me as a returning player is the crazy amount of power creep. my poor Zapdos from 2000 has 70hp, and he does 30 damage from a 3 energy move that can potentially hurt himself. now i have a Seaking in my current deck with 90hp and does 90 damage from a 1 energy move, you just flip a coin for a miss. it really makes old card useless except for evolves. i remember when my friend had a Whaleord card with 180hp back in the day when thinking it would never get higher than that, because average legendries at the time had 130HP. now i have an Acceus V card with 220hp and my friend has GX 'Zard and rayquaza, both with 250hp

not really. id have to disagree. from 1st glance yes they do however with pokemon tools and the right deck, these still become very useful. id even go as far to say every single pokemon card has some decent use if u can find out how to make a good deck with it. i mean even in recent packs, togedemaru has only 70 hp and one move that does 10dmg but is only good because if it gets a heads from a flipped coin, as a basic pokemon, if it were knocked out in the opponents next turn, they dont take any prize cards for it. so essentially its a chip dmg sometimes lifeline extra turn defensive and supportive card although seemingly useless. with the right tools and weaknesses to add dmg and other things. this could easily be on par with stage 1 pokemon which imo it already is without these things. also i got back into collection when evolving skies just came out or had been out for some time, i actually got very lucky on card pack openings because i have about 60 to 80 percent of the deck complete and i only ever got 1 copy of a pokemon v and or v max out of a total of like 600 cards altogether. i have rainbow cards, 3 gold cards which one is a electric energy card V's Vmax's and i think V'stars if they re in evolving skies. im just happy most of those i got on my own while some were sadly given to me which annoys me to know i cant now fully complete that set solo when i dont remember what cards i was given and put into the folder. still tho, ik for sure that i got all 3 gold cards and most if not all eevee's on my own.
