It is getting late here, so I'm going to try to keep this post brief. So, the question is "Are older Pokemon cards better than newer ones?" The straight answer to this question is NO. However, lets dive a bit deeper!
It seems that as new sets of Pokemon cards get released, the energy cost for more powerful attach is going down. For example, a near-base-set Haunter card requires two energies to deal 50 damage, but can can only deal damage while the defending Pokemon is Asleep, whereas a much newer Diamond and Pearl set Ledian can deal 50 damage for 2 energies AND has the choice of retreating after the attack. Better? Oh yeah! But don't worry if you have cards from several sets ago, the change in energy cost is very gradual, for the most part.
So, even though old Pokemon cards are fun to collect, most of them are not the best for battling. If you disagree, though, leave a comment and lets start a friendly discussion! Thanks for reading!
