Nope, the basic rule in Pokemon TCG hasn't changed. The player who goes first can't attack on their first turn. It's all about strategy from the get-go! You gotta plan your moves, maybe set up your bench or play some Trainer cards instead. Think of it as a head-start to strategize!

Yes and no. The core rule about not attacking on the first turn if you go first has been consistent. However, there have been minor tweaks and rule clarifications over the years, so always good to check the most current rulebook or updates for any nuances.

Honestly, who attacks first isn't the big deal. It's all about that epic endgame. Focus on building your deck to adapt and overcome, no matter if you're first or second.

Actually, the whole 'can't attack on your first turn' rule is what makes it interesting. Makes you think more about your first move instead of just going all in with an attack. Adds a nice layer of strategy from the start.
