Nope, not officially. Japanese cards are cool for collecting or casual games, but don鈥檛 bring them to a tournament expecting to play.
Absolutely, but with a twist! You can totally use Japanese Pokemon cards during casual play with friends who don't mind. However, if you're hitting up official tournaments or events, they gotta be in English. So, keep your cool Japanese cards for friendly matches and make sure you've got English ones for the big leagues.
