How to Play The Pokemon Trading Card Game | 2021-2022 Season | Part 1: Setup and Basic Rules

*UPDATE FOR 2023* Please note a lot do the cards mentioned in this video are no longer legal for play due to rotation. Rotation is something that happens every year that removes older cards from the available card pool so players utilize the new ones. It helps keep the game fresh and provides an easier entry point for new players. You can find more information about rotation, what cards have been removed, and other useful resources in other videos on my channel. If you have any questions just ask and I’ll be happy to help! **UPDATED FOR 2022**:    • UPDATED for 2022: How to Play the Pokemon ...   We're starting a new series that talks about how to play the Pokemon Trading Card game!
