Learn How to Play the Pokemon Trading Card Game: Reading a Pokemon Card

[Donaldcomic]

Okay Big question i have. Actually two!

One: So the white/Colorless energy cards can be any energy card of your selection?

Two: On your Blastoise card, for the attack Hydro Launcher. Theres two Water Energy's required and two White/Colorless cards! for the two colorless cards, you can still use any energy card you want? So you could have four water energy's on him and that would work?!

[PrimetimePokemon]

@Donaldcomic The white aka colorless energy cards mean that if an attack has these you can use any type of energy card to satisfy the attack cost, so in Blastoise's case you could use 4 water energy cards or 2 water and 2 of any other energy type.

[Donaldcomic]

@PrimetimePokemon thank you very much i was really confused about that! :)

[RaichuPandza]

Why the heck is that Steelix basic????

[PrimetimePokemon]

@RaichuPandza It is an SP Pokemon.

[arby324]

@PrimetimePokemon i have a stellix that does 100 damage

[TheTorresLFC09]

primetime when you bulled a deck can you use reverse cards and promo cards?

[PrimetimePokemon]

@TheTorresLFC09 You sure can.

[TheTorresLFC09]

@PrimetimePokemon and holos?

[PrimetimePokemon]

@TheTorresLFC09 Yes

[WheeYe0N]

hey.How do you measure the extra damage when the weakness only show the energy sign? Can the active pokemon attack without energy cards?

[PrimetimePokemon]

@WheeYe0N When the weakness isn't stated it is x2, unless there is no symbol at all then it is zero, and Pokemon can attack without any energy cards if one of their moves don't require energy.

[Nintendolegopspfan10]

How many times can you evolve a pokemon or attach an energy a turn?

[PrimetimePokemon]

@Nintendolegopspfan10 one each

[joshua123ldrago]

better than expertvillage

1. ITS NOT BORING

2.I LEARNED ALOT!

[PrimetimePokemon]

@joshua123ldrago thanks!

[emilioepic]

Hey I still dint understand but can someone reply to me try to teach me how plz

[NguyenVanThock2185]

@emilioepic Find your local comic book shop, talk to someone there. Odds are they have a pokemon night at a shop near you.

[4293172]

Do you have to evolve the pokemon if you have the card to do so?

[PrimetimePokemon]

@4293172 you don't have to if you don't want to

[broadcastrandomizer9]

Can you use the same energy for the colorless energy and the one you have to use to attack? For example, can you use 2 psychic energys for an attack cost of 1 psychic energy and one colorless energy?

[PrimetimePokemon]

@broadcastrandomizer9 yes you can

[tox921]

i get all this but what determines who wins the game??

[PrimetimePokemon]

@tox921 the first person to get all their prize cards wins, or if your opponent runs out of basic Pokemon or cards you win

[elpueblano009]

what happens if I don't have any energy card in my 7hand or if I ran out during gameplay? do I pick a card from the or skip my turn?

[PrimetimePokemon]

@elpueblano009 if you don't have enough energy to attack, you just can't attack that turn, you can still evolve Pokemon, retreat, use trainers, etc...

[PrimetimePokemon]

@pokeboy68 Emerging Powers, it comes out on August 31st

[PrimetimePokemon]

@pokeboy68 I probably will when the new set comes out on August 31st

[PrimetimePokemon]

@pokeboy68 same to you

[4lyfShivi]

i dont undestand

please help prime time

[TheChillarmy]

When you use an attack that requires an energy card, do you have to discard that energy card? (Such as with that Weezing and Smog)

[EmpoleonRider]

When you make the video where you actually play the game can you use you're Kingdra deck?

[PrimetimePokemon]

@EmpoleonRider I could try

[Eeveeloutions911]

How rare is a Shiny Star on a Card PLZ RESPOND

[thezebracakes]

@Eeveeloutions911 really rare if it by the name,if its oddly colored its really fuckin rare

[pokemontrader1231]

primetime pokemon,i am willing to trade for a typloshion prime if u have.

[SenourLucas]

Hey Primetime! I was wondering if when you are playing, can you discard cards in your hand if you want to. Thanks!

[PrimetimePokemon]

@SenourLucas you can't sorry

[SenourLucas]

@PrimetimePokemon Thanks Primetime!

[dabestpokemonfan]

dear primetimepokemon can you please make a video of how to protect your pokemon cards please?

[PrimetimePokemon]

@dabestpokemonfan I will try to make that video in a couple of weeks

[halieccboo]

how is steelix a basic pokemon? i always thought it evolved from onix :S

[PrimetimePokemon]

@halieccboo if it is an sp Pokemon it is a basic Pokemon

[wrencgo]

@PrimetimePokemon what does sp mean?

[PrimetimePokemon]

@wrencgo special Pokemon

[wolfdruidkiba]

@halieccboo it does

[halieccboo]

@wolfdruidkiba i said evolved from not evolved into.. i assume a basic pokmon evolves into something.. and im pretty sure steelix doesn't have an evolution.. or does it? idk. but i got confused.. its all good.. since its sp

[jessetrupiano]

Great video :) you should do a video on misprints

[PrimetimePokemon]

@jessetrupiano thanks, and that is a good suggestion

[FujiBuns]

@jessetrupiano ? misprints???

[jessetrupiano]

@FujiBuns pokemon card misprints is when there is a printing error in the card, like in the description of the original kakuna card, instead of saying (length: 2.0", weight: 22 lbs) it said (length: 2.0", length: 22 lbs). It was accidentally printed with two lengths and no weight. These cards are rare and have more value than regular cards :)

[videomakerforyuou]

@primetimepokemon u could do a eye view angle that means the camera is at your hand and u can tell what to do and etc

[Machamp151]

Hey if you are having trouble figuring out how to set up a camera during a battle, check out insector07.... He does some cool battles and you should see how he sets everything up... (thumbs this up so he can see)

[PrimetimePokemon]

@Machamp151 okay, I will take a look at it

[Li1xPerohd122]

lucky you have a Blastoise in the H/S series i always wanted one

[bumbarowski]

you didn't say thank you at the end :(

[random3247]

why is that steelix basic? it evolves from onix

[jimbookiller]

could u type, in the description if this is like part two or what part it is. So u can see it from the beginning if u want too :)

[zazoomba]

You're welco- wait... you didn't say "thank you" at the end of this video like you always do.

[randomtuber1000]

It's weird how the game and the cardgame have little in common

[OriginalBloodAce]

Incorrect you can evolve as many times as you want in 1 turn.....says on the play mats you get in those pre made decks.

[coolcoolcoolnow]

i like the vids they help me out a lot :)

[GoingDark2]

it shows level on all cards except heartgold soulsilver cards and base set i think... XD

[GoingDark2]

happy new year!!

[TimidALFONS0]

So i just started playing pokemon with my friend and have won 75% of my battles with the standard deck i bought but i am still confused about something. Can i only attach 1 energy to any 1 pokemon per turn or can i attach 1 energy to multiple pokemon per turn? plz reply asap. anybody.

[Beefdog456]

@TimidALFONS0 You can only attach 1 energy to any 1 pokemon per turn unless another card or effect allows you to put more on

[TimidALFONS0]

@Beefdog456

Thank You! Happy New Year!

[evilpig11]

happy new years primetime pokemon you rock

[meanboy305]

By any chance do you have a Laturn prime for trade

Cuz ill trade you a vaporeon ex?

P.s respond!

[nickjahfarted]

You didnt say thank you at the end

[JulzzTV]

I think this series will be allot better than Expert Village's 'How to Play Pokemon Trading Card Game'.

[Thisisnoturname]

@zschuck1994 Well guess what, some people new to pokemon can't u ass so don't watch the video if you don't need it. :)

[mclovin1876]

@Thisisnoturname says the person who it helped the most :)

[Thisisnoturname]

@mclovin1876 Was that supposed be funny?

[TimidALFONS0]

@zschuck1994

there are different meaning to the word "read" the read he is talking about is how you play/see the card. to a novice they would look at the card and hopefully actually know what the letters say but he would be clue-less to what the energy symbols and pokebodies mean. not everyone knows how to play.

[PokeKid5000]

thx ^^

[PokeKid5000]

happy new year primetime :D

[PrimetimePokemon]

@PokeKid5000 thanks, same to you

[11poketrainer]

POKEBEACH ROCKS!!!!

[ohiokyle]

LMAO, how to read a card. for all those people who can't read, and I'm watching this video because one it's in my subscription and two I wanna see what he is saying to the people

[Pakabu1000]

nice!

[Zachattax64]

ya know what I wanna see, u in a battle! :D primetime pokemon versus a freind.

[morpheas768]

You said: "So thanks a lot for watching, and stay tuned for more videos."

You're supposed to say: "So thanks a lot for watching, and stay tuned for more videos. Thank you"

No thank you in the end?!?!

[ChubbyKola]

Can my EX Emerlad Combusken evolve to a blazkien from platium ?

[GrayFoxTheEnigma]

@ChubbyKola yes

[TheChillarmy]

@ChubbyKola Yes, but in the TCG Championships, all cards up through Platinum Arceus are banned. In the tournament, you can only use HGSS and up, and by the time the tournament comes out, the Black and White set will be out, introducing all new Pokemon.

[gamings12]

to make all those people clear these types dont exist in the card game:

dragon, poison, bug, ice, ground, rock, flying and ghost.

[XxChizuruxX]

@gamings12 well it's not that they don't exist, they're just grouped together into a single type. Normal, flying, and dragon pokemon are colorless. Psychic, ghost, and poison pokemon are psychic. Water and ice pokemon are water. Grass and bug pokemon are grass. Fighting, rock, and ground pokemon are fighting. Electric, fire, steel and dark all have their own energy type.

[Hobbyboy100]

for those who think that weezing is poison the awnser is yes and no. weezing is a poisin type in the game but in TCG there are only like 8 types compared to 16. TCG has any poisin or gohst types as phycic

[Nagalashi]

i'll explain about types fighting and ground are 1 psychic and poison are 1 and dark can go with more than 1 type ok done

[MegaJokaz]

so energy cards are like lands in magic the gathering?

[11poketrainer]

@MegaJokaz magic the gathering wtf!

[MrNintendoHD]

weezing is poison not psychic

[Primetimeseminoles]

@MrNintendoHD hes psychic poison is a move that most grass or psychic pokemon have for instance slowpoke has the same symbol yet he isnt poisen do you get what im saying ?

[TheSlayer23456]

"ill start at the top and work my way down" thats what she said ;D lolz

[Jsmith12292]

No Offence Primetime, But that video was kinda boring.

[BlueMew24]

im pretty sure we all know how to read

[SmithyIris13]

Why dont they make the types of pokemon the same in the card game, as they do in the game? Its dorky to me.

[jamyalfy]

hi there primetiepokemon ur the best

[867pokemonmaster]

One time i had a card that said basic but i new that it had a stage 1 to it do you thin it could be like a error

[wolfdruidkiba]
