I just got the last of the pokemon cards I ordered on ebay in the mail yesterday. Aaand, a package from a friend with some awesome new cards, sleeves, and a deck box! I put together an updated fairy deck and can't wait to play with it. ^_^

I haven't seen the new mewtwo card but I do have a mew, it's pretty adorable! Some of my cousins had the same problem as you Poet, that their parents wouldn't let them play because of their religion. I always thought that was a bit ridiculous but I'm not really one for extremes. When I started playing again a couple months ago it was a bit hard to get back into the rules because they don't actually give you a rulebook when you buy a starter deck anymore! It was the online TCG game that actually taught me how to play since I was a bit confused about evolution rules and whatnot. ^^;
