| If you like Pokemon Cards then this is the place you should be. I can tell you where to get Japanese cards as well as American. |
If you want to get Japanese Pokemon cards you should go to either Infinity, located at 86th and Madison in Mannhattan New York. To get American Cards is a very hard thing to say because most places are always sold out. Your best bet is also Infinity, but you can also get them at Software Etc., located at 86th between Madison and Lex(?) or maybe Lex and 3rd. |
| To get American holographs is mainly luck and/or trading and/or buying alot of packs. To get Japanese holograms, however is not so hard. There is at least one in every pack you get, and in some stores there are even pack that contain 5 holograms. In American, there are not as many holographic cards and they are much more rare. As a result to this, Wizards of the Coast (the makers of the Pokemon Trading Card Game and creators of Magic) put a holographic card in every Starter Deck and Theme Deck. |
To get American energy cards is not hard, all you need to do is buy a booster pack and you allready have 2 or three energy cards. As you can imagine, most pokemon cannot run on just two energy cards, so in the Starter Deck and Theme Decks they added enough energy to use every card in the deck, including evolution. To get Japanese enrgy, however, is very hard. It is so hard because energy does not come in booster packs. Instead, you need to get the Japanese Starter Deck, Theme Decks or, the Japanese Master Deck. |
