In case this seems confusing, allow me to make it simple - Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) came out with the Base Set of Pokemon Cards, sold lots of packs of these cards, then decided that the cards would look better if they added a shadow to the background
Because those characters have their own stories and motivations, who you choose to travel with often says a lot about how you like to play the game
You may also notice that fake cards feel flimsier than their authentic counterparts
However, a significant portion of their business is also dedicated to Trading Card Games (TCG)
It was also fairly easy to teach my child who now has a deck built from my sample cards
There are many Pokemon with powerful abilities and attacks, for example, Kingdra with his attack Hydro Splash to hit your opponents Active Pokmon for a respectable 130 damage for just 2 energy cards
