Share your Pokemon history/background here! Whether you're new or have played the TCG for years! We'd love to here your experiences on how the Pokemon TCG made its way to you
I previously enjoyed collecting since the beginning of the game in 1999, and started playing competitively in 2010 after playing a lot of the game boy game the year prior. I am fortunate to live in Ohio, where a lot of the best competitive players are. I actually learned how to play from Chris Fulop, who took second at the first world championships. I am very fortunate to know a lot of names in the scene and hang around many of the best players. That said, my interest fizzled after multiple years of Lost Box followed by multiple years of Gardevoir domination, and I haven't played much recently. I do run a modestly successful YouTube channel covering the history of the competitive meta, called Ruby Retro, with my friend, but even that has recently taken a back seat to many life developments, but it's still something we're working on when we can find the time and motivation to do so. As life and work eventual level back out, I'll likely return to the game with refreshed interest and accelerate my video production efforts to talk about the golden age.

Pokémon TCG changed my life so much! My competitive journey might not be the best or most interesting one, but I have a long history with it (long in terms of lots of events in relation of time, as I couldn't participate for long.).
Pre-TCG:
Actually, before actually playing the game, I liked to collect the cards, mostly fake, since I couldn't afford original ones, my dad bought one or two packs for me in this era, which where I was around 5 to 12yo, but he considered it a scam, since... Well, honestly they are expensive AF, 5€ for 10 card where 9 are bulk... It's just not worth it, but I enjoyed collecting the fake ones, I also managed to get some legit cards using the fake ones, the most expensive one being a golden switch from UltraPrism in a pretty good state, which I discovered years later that was legit.
The beginning of my journey:
In 2024, when I recently got 16yo, I went to an anime convention with my only friend from my childhood, I was cosplaying as N (which costed me a lot! The entire outfit was around 80-90€ plus the accessories, mostly designed me with my 3D printer and made manually by me, I even had an emergency kit with me to use to repair the cosplay anytime! I enjoyed it and LOTS of people took photos with me.). I usually spent some money on the stuff there each year, this time I had 50€ of my own that I was seeking to waste, I was searching mostly for hand-made products, the only worth to buy, but in that particular event there weren't much things... Then, PTCGP was starting and I was playing it a lot, so after seeing some TCG stuff, I decided to buy a Stellar Crown ETB for my exact 50€. I got really surprised to see that there were so many packs inside! I expected around 4, as any given item use to be so much expensive in that kind of convention than what it is actually worth... But as I didn't found opening SO MANY packs funny myself, I opened the first one that contained the squirrtle AR (~35€ then) and asked random people to open them, cheering them up and giving away some cards that either I didn't like or that I already had... My only mistake was to let a chineese 9yo kid to open my last one, then my friend and I sat with him to see the cards and trade with him, as he had some card too... He showed me his expensive collection, probably just an spoiled kid, but he was showing off that he was a scammer... I probably had doubt it, but he showed me that my squirtle was worth less than 1€ and a random jolteon he had was 80€, and since he seemed to like it a lot, I decided to trade it with him... Fuck that kid, but I can't do anything now, I wouldn't have minded to give it away to someone who would have enjoyed it, but giving it to a scammer... Arh...
Still, I didn't know it, that kid still demanded more stuff like my promo or my sleeves, he even tried to fight me to steal them, arguing he was too nice just giving me away a '80€' card! Fucking god... I got rid of him, but hope someone puts him in place.
Minutes after, there wasn't much more to see at the convention, so I sat alone to organize my cards... While I was at it, a random black guy sat with me and started talking with me. NGL, I got a bit scared, thought I would encounter someone as spoiled as that kid... And he was se extravagant...
I didn't knew yet, but that guy would change my whole life.
He didn't knew N, so he asked me what the hell I was cosplaying as, therefore he called me 'N' for the rest of our friendship (he usually called me by my name, not at the beginning, but usually mentioned me as 'N'). He taught me how to play the game right there, he was using a Charizard ex deck and he let me a festival lead deck, which was the direct counter. He told me about the tournaments and stuff, but I thought I would probably never assist... He gave me the Halloween Mimikyu out of his deck as a gift, as I told him that it had to be a really powerful card!
After an hour or so, he was about to leave and... I got a bit upset, I didn't want to end that moment... I rarely was even able to talk like that with others, but even if I was really scared and embarrassed to ask, I wanted to exchange contacts with him. He agreed nicely.
My first matches: Probably this belongs to the previous part... But in order to not make it too long, I'll explain how I actually got to play the game here.
So... Now I had his contact, I sent him a sticker the same day to catch his attention... But he pretty much ignored it.
I already knew, "I have been in this situation thousand of times" I thought back then... He would straight out ghost me, no more 'friends', no more anything... I was already used to it, but I got a bit too excited and realizing that this was just being to be like any other time even made me cry a little bit... Slowly I was realizing that I wasn't even able to make any friends, that year in my classroom no one wanted to even wanted to talk with me! And that haven't changed today.
Suddenly, while walking home with my little sister around the end of the next day, I got a message from him! I... Cannot explain how I felt, but I got really confused and excited again! But this time I knew I shouldn't get too excited, as I remembered my social condition... He told me he wanted to get to know with me and we talked for several hours until around 2AM. It felt so damn good! For the first time in some years, someone actually seemed interested in me! He WANTED to talk with me, I was not just begging for some attention to someone who some day told me that they wanted to be my friend and help me, HE was the one interested in me!
After chatting for a couple of days, he invited me to play with him at a TCG store on friday, I was so excited!! Until... Until he told me he invited three more friends of him minutes before I arrived there... Fuck, I also knew that scenario... He was just going to talk with them and them to him... I knew that if I wasn't the only one with him, I would be forgotten and probably never invited again... I was really surprised when his friends were just as him, they wanted to talk with me and play with me! So I consider it one of the best days of my life. After that I was a bit too shy to leave, so I spent till really late with them...
I found myself playing with the festival lead deck for a moth or two, I got pretty good results for my level! And then I bought a Terapagos-Sylveon deck. It was HORRIBLE and costed me almost a hundred bucks, but I loved those pokémon and the mechanics of the deck, it was worth it.
Along some months, I found myself playing every single tournament and daily on PTCG Live, I loved the friendship I got with the group and specially this guy that introduced me, but nothing out of what should be normal.
New friends and gambling:
As time passed, I made lots of friends in the community, it was the first time in my life I felt so popular! I loved it and wanted to last forever. I enjoyed playing, teaching and trading with others, as well as talking and doing some more stuff after the games themselves. During those days, I mostly spent all the money I had on cards, I loved to gamble and open packs... One day, I found myself buying a box with some packs with a friend that I recently made, I couldn't afford it myself so we split it. The opening was the best ever of my life, the luck, the feeling... Even the weather was extremely good! I got both Shiny tera Charizard EX SIR and Bubble Mew... God, that felt so good... I decided to give the charizard away to my friend for him to see that I valued our friendship way more than any money I could make with the card, but then we decided to instead split the money of both the Mew and the Charizard. After that, I bought a brand new phone (as my previous was a bit tired after so many years of use since 2017, even more considering it was a cheap phone even back then) and a wallet, but I also commit the mistake of buying another box to split it with him (and nothing got out of there, well, he pulled some cheap ARs, but he refused to share them with me. At the very least, he gave me a mini-shiny that he didn't like).
I can't say much more about this phase, It was the longest one but also the one where the least new or exciting things happened to me, I was just... Happy, I guess.
Regional Championships and my last matches: Eventually I made it to the the regional championship of my country, when I got there I was already banned from TCG Live (I'll explain that later) and even though I went with some friends from that friend group I had with that guy, no one wanted to be with me at any given time or even share a room with me, one even rather slept two days alone in order to not share something with me, so I also had to... Hell, they didn't even ask about my performance (I did horribly, not only for my bad ass luck, but cause I was feeling emotionally bad with this and my luck didn't help at all.), not even when I asked about theirs, when they just told me the bare minmun... I even got to play with a friend of one of my 'friends', I didn't quite like it, I wanted to talk with new people, not someone who I knew hated me in reality... It was so hard for me to be able to be there just to be treated like this and get TWICE against someone I already knew... First of them was a decisive match, since only one of them could make it to the second day if we won every match from there... I had a hard counter deck against him, but I knew there was no point on winning that match, I wasn't going to win anything, I wasn't going to make it to the second day, so I let him win, I acted as if I were actually playing the best I could and even made him struggle a bit, but I wanted to cheer him, let him see that he could win even against a hard counter and make it to the second day. Why did I do that? As soon as he won he left the table to talk with MY friends, he didn't even bothered to give the judge the paper stating that HE won, so I had to... It broke my heart to realize my current position, it was even worse as I couldn't even dream of making it to the second day... But still, next match was AGAIN with someone I knew, he directly said that he wanted to do it fast, but I didn't knew why even, it was not like he was going to get anything, win or loose, faster or slower... It didn't matter at all. My luck in that match was horrible, I had a counter deck again and I got a impossible hand to play with, so I lost in 2 turns, next game was the same but I directly conceded and again, he left as soon as he could...
At that point I got out of the place for a while and had to ask myself why the fuck was I there? Why was I paying all that I got and making a effort to play and live there those two days? While I silently cried in a corner out of the place, alone, I remembered my first ever day with them and my original friend (He sadly wasn't able to make it to the tournament, probably would have been completely different with him)... "Hey, would you want to come with us to Sevilla in April? We will play in the regional championships together!" He told me. "Eh?! Of course not! Why would you guys even want me there? I barely know you and I don't even know how to play! You guys are crazy!" I replied, naturally, this was a crazy idea for me, I wasn't even an adult. "Don't worry, there is plenty of time until then, I bet you can even get better than us before the tournament! Come on, it'll be fun... Plus, we could win 10.000€" He told me and people agreed. Still, I knew I wouldn't participate in the tournament, it was just crazy... However, the truth was that I got better than them, this first friend was probably the best out of the friend group, he won the Colombia's Yugi-Oh regional championships in 2019 when he lived there back then, but days before the tournament, he practiced with me with many different decks and since I didn't get any unluck that day, I managed to win most of the games of that day to the point he got really frustrated and even a bit mad at me (Sorry about it, Gino, if you even find this post and read it, I guess you let me feel a bit superior than I actually was that day...). He never let me tell any of the friends about that day, so I can't know if he let me win to cheer me for the tournament or actually helped me to practice, but I thank him for that last day of playing.
Then... I got back to reality and played 3 more matches that day, trying to chill with other people in my situation, but only one actually showed up, he was a nice person and... I got so unlucky again that I had no chances to play, but I played some matches with him after the 'official' games.
Next day... Well, I clearly not made it to the second day, but my room was so far from the city and visiting the city would be so depressing to do alone, so I went back to the tournament. I couldn't play the big tournament cause I already lost and couldn't play the secondary event since I couldn't afford the 50€ fee to play, why even? I would have lost anyways... Instead, I decided to play a usual leage of 4 people. I got there at 9AM and signed up, but as a long time passed... I explored the place, first I walked around seeing how my friends were playing, it made me a bit sad that I was doing it without them knowing... Or worse, they could have noticed me and straight out be ignoring me... But I didn't want to find out. I also saw the finals of VGC and some games of Pokémon GO, but after a while I got back to the secondary event's chairs to rest a bit and... I got fast asleep. Until around 12PM or almost 1PM the leage didn't start, and when it did... There were two young kids and a greedy adult, it wasn't too much fun, honestly... After that, I ate at Mcdonal's, It would have been the third time cause it was the only place to eat there, but the previous day I had to skip eating entirely, for some fucking reason they decided to give no time to eat, so you had to either skip a match or be ready for it, but I didn't knew... A while after I came back to the place to see the finals of TCG and PKMN GO, but not without crying again before alone, cause that is the only thing I was good at... Not gonna lie, it was terribly boring, to the point I decided to sort my cards and stuff... But I couldn't do anything else in my position, at the very least the people who said to be my friends wasn't there anymore, but it made me a bit sad to see other people interacting with their own friends...
Unfair bans and the end of my journey:
As time passed by, the scholar year ended and I got a job, at the same time in that summer the friend I shared the hits with got banned from the store I was usually in, as a friend of him was caught scamming HUNDREDS of euros in cards with kids and teens, he did nothing wrong, but as he seemed to be the closest to him and also liked to trade with kids (NEVER scamming, he even often gave away some cards to kids to cheer them), he was permanently banned from the store. The rest of the stores, even if there weren't ever kids, decided to do the same, so he was completely locked from the hobby... For some weird reason, I got also banned from PTCG Live, not only my account, but my IP and my MAC, so playing the game was extremely inconvenient for me, that with my job made me to play and spend way less on the game. Support didn't help at all, it was 100% automated with bots that didn't even suggest anything related with my problem, for some reason they assumed I had problems accessing Live's WEBSITE (Why would I even want to do that, it is just a game ad...?), so I tried to appeal my ban several times without success, getting also softlocked from the support since they ignored anything else I asked about a start of a thread...
Without any friend group to play with and being unable to try or practice with any decks online, I slowly stopped playing the game. I still play sometimes and chill with some young kids there (as sadly there weren't anyone my age and adults were just disgusting, there were some nice people but they already had their friend groups and the social adults... Well, let's say that I prefer to be alone rather than befriend with any of them...
Post-TCG and Outcome: This hasn't got too much to have with TCG, but if you have read almost 6 hours worth of writing, probably you want to know what happened after all this, if not, just skip to the next section.
So... While I had a job and starting showing less and less in the TCG community, I still had the original guy I met at the anime convention. We chatted were chatting almost everyday and sometimes he invited me to pass some time with him as his friends (other, better friends, but sadly ones that didn't want me either...), but as the whole friend group moved out or pokémon when Megas were introduced and we slowly shared less... He realized, I might have been someway interesting as we met, but once he knew most about me (probably also related that I subtly told him that I was trans and bisexual... Not that I liked him sexually or anything, but that other friend group had some trans and gay people in it, so I assumed he tolerated it, I never told anyone else before (or after...) and it was nice of him to not tell anyone else (or at least in a way that I wasn't able to find out), but I suspect he didn't like it much, since he eventually started making fun of it and saying that he couldn't care less, even threatening me to expose me in public...) and I couldn't offer much more, he found out that in reality, I am a really boring sociopath and ugly guy. And I am not assuming this or associating it with anything, he told me in my fucking face after watching a movie with her (other) trans friend, once she left. He told me he didn't wanted to be my friend anymore, he didn't wanted to see me, he was bored of me... It hit me all out of sudden, I wasn't expecting any of that, it was true that he slowly payed less and less attention to me, even started to be less respectful... But I even thought he was joking at first! Then I realized he didn't and best I could do was insisting that I could try doing better, fixing the flaws he mentioned and... No, he didn't let me, well, he said that I could try, but instead of actually letting me, he started to harass and ignore me, just the days he even minded to answer me... It became clear he didn't want me anymore, and since it was affecting me, I decided just to ignore the ever last message of harassment, and so, I wasn't ever contacted by anyone of the friend group again.
The same days I left my job, I didn't actually want to assist to class and study, so I left it a month before class to be able to be with my original-original friend, as last years we spent most of the moth in his house in his village. He agreed to do this with me once again before summer and I told him I would leave my job to assist, but... One or two days after I left it he told me he didn't want to be with me there, instead, he was going to invite his girlfriend... Something he even had the audacity to say he hated it and leave her a month after.
During that month depression hit me hard, it was almost like when my mother died years before, I felt completely alone again, even worse than I was when all this started. Now I had no job, no friends... Even my family hated me, my dad didn't like I left my job, worse when I didn't look as cheerful and happy as he expected from someone who was on vacation, so he constantly punished me, only making everything worse for me. I decided to spend my time alone in the street, just crying and laying on the ground, hiding from others. I paused the huge project I have started at the start of summer and wanted to stop it completely, after all, I didn't find any more reasons to even live... Again.
Thankfully, I got better. Can't thank anyone for helping me or anything... Working in my project helped me and the start of the classes again made me feel more relaxed and free, my dad didn't like to see me working on my stuff either, so I couldn't do much in my house, but as classes are a joke, I worked everyday during classes.
Eventually I got to be with my original friend when he left her girlfriend, now I see him a while each month or so.
Present and what I learned:
Currently I find myself feeling just fine, I mostly feel alone, but that's not a new thing.
I am working in my project and plan to present it as my TFG in June, but it's being a bit hard to do so...
For now, I feel a bit scared, I think my only friend has found out that I am trans, I tried to convince him that I am not... But I think it was no use, he hasn't messaged me since friday, but as I don't have WhatsApp, I don't know if he stills connect to talk with others, but what I know is that he is EXTREMELY trans and homophobic, that's why I'll never want anyone to find out, but now that he kinda found out, I might get completely alone these days, at least I had him for around 14 years, as I think I was 3 when we first ever met, the only thing that I hope is that my father doesn't notice, since he is also really transphobic...
But thanks to my experience in TCG, I learned more about society and what having relationships actually mean, I liked it despite the bad outcome. Now I am way less shy and nervous than what I was, my friend group made me finally realize I don't belong anywhere, it will never matter how much or how many times I try making any friends, I will always be the problem and I might not deserve any friends at all. I have to embrace how I am right now because if I try to live with the dream of having a cool friend group and be appreciated, I will never be happy because I just can't have it. No one will ever want me, best I can hope is to help others in forum pages like this one on the internet, even if I feel I am not ever being helpful at all...
Maybe someone I know will someday read this? Chances are no one will ever, but if someone in this story does and is able to identify me or themselves, note that I love you, I forgive you all for everything and I miss you. I don't want you (and vice versa) cause you are mentally harmful for my life, but I appreciated everything you done good, specially you, Gino.
Also, sorry for writing so much, this is the first and probably the last time I ever tell all this to anyone, don't feel pressured to read it, but I hope it can help or interest someone out there.
I don't think anyone would read this seriously, at the very least, only some fragments will be read, but if anyone does, feel free to ask if you wave any questions or feel curious about it, I wouldn't mind talking a bit more about it.
Pokémon TCG changed my life so much! My competitive journey might not be the best or most interesting one, but I have a long history with it (long in terms of lots of events in relation of time, as I couldn't participate for long.).
Pre-TCG:
Actually, before actually playing the game, I liked to collect the cards, mostly fake, since I couldn't afford original ones, my dad bought one or two packs for me in this era, which where I was around 5 to 12yo, but he considered it a scam, since... Well, honestly they are expensive AF, 5€ for 10 card where 9 are bulk... It's just not worth it, but I enjoyed collecting the fake ones, I also managed to get some legit cards using the fake ones, the most expensive one being a golden switch from UltraPrism in a pretty good state, which I discovered years later that was legit.
I started by collecting the fake cards a lot when I was younger too! I traded with my classmates, and got into the TCG when a Grade 4 (I was grade 2) gave me a Tepig in a after school care, that got me interested in the cards, and I started watching Pokémon XY in the mornings before that. My parents bought me and my brother the fake cards from the $2 shop until I really liked them and learnt the difference between the real and fake ones and started really getting into collecting. I got one of the Pikachu world collection cards from a friend back then, I remember I accidently folded it in half when a teacher told me to put it away, so I put it in my pencil case!
The beginning of my journey:
In 2024, when I recently got 16yo, I went to an anime convention with my only friend from my childhood, I was cosplaying as N (which costed me a lot! The entire outfit was around 80-90€ plus the accessories, mostly designed me with my 3D printer and made manually by me, I even had an emergency kit with me to use to repair the cosplay anytime! I enjoyed it and LOTS of people took photos with me.). I usually spent some money on the stuff there each year, this time I had 50€ of my own that I was seeking to waste, I was searching mostly for hand-made products, the only worth to buy, but in that particular event there weren't much things...

I haven't cosplayed and I don't really want to, but N is a nice choice! Nice Squirtle pull! That Jolteon guy is a shame though, fighting and begging and scamming!? Not nice at all....
So that's the story of the Mimikyu! He must have been really nice, glad you found nice people there!!
