Absolutely, you can play Japanese Pokemon TCG cards in America! The main thing to remember is that during official tournaments, it’s a general rule that all cards used should be in the same language as the tournament's host country. But for casual play among friends or at local game stores, most folks won't mind if you use Japanese cards, as long as you can provide a translation or understand the card effects yourself. Just check in with the folks you're playing with first!

Yep, you can, but good luck finding someone who can read them if you don’t speak Japanese yourself! But seriously, for casual games, it's totally fine. Just have translations handy for smoother gameplay.

Only if you wanna show off your cool collection. Otherwise, stick to English in tournaments to keep things simple.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, but make sure you're ready to translate.
