Honestly, 8 basics might be cutting it close, especially if you're playing in a tournament setting where you really don't want to risk starting a game without a basic Pokémon in your hand. Remember, having a variety of Basic Pokémon can be crucial to adapt to different opponents. But hey, if you've got a super consistent deck with lots of draw support or ways to fetch those Pokémon, you might be just fine!

8 basics is actually fine. I've run decks with even less and still smashed. It's all about how you build the rest of your deck. Quality over quantity, my friends.

8 Basics? Rookie numbers! You gotta pump those numbers up. More basics = more fun, and who doesn't want to start the game with their favorite Pokémon smiling back at them from the draw?
