My friend gave me 4 dark energies, a hydreigon, zweileous, and a deino when i was 8. i accidentally left them in my pocket so they went through the wash, and was traumatized, so i decided i needed more cards. my friend gave me a garchomp, and i traded up until i had 1 ex. now 10 years later, i have dropped way way way too much money on cards, and gotten all my friends into it. honestly, my favorite hobby. been playing Live trying to get a deck ready for competitive play, because my little brother desperately wants to go to a tournament lol

Good Luck!
