Are old Pokemon cards still playable?
Absolutely! Old Pokemon cards are definitely still playable in casual games. If you're just having fun with friends, you can mix old and new cards with no problem. The only catch is in official tournaments, where they might not be legal due to the constantly updating rules and formats. But for a stroll down memory lane or a casual match, those old cards are golden.

Yep, they're playable, but good luck convincing anyone to let you use that ancient, overpowered Charizard in a serious match. For nostalgia's sake though, go for it!
In my experience, pulling out those old cards can be a blast for casual games. Brings back so many memories, and it's fun to see how the game has evolved. Just don't be that person trying to sneak a banned card into a tournament, okay?
No way, keep up with the times! Old cards are just that, old. New decks, new strats.
