That's a really good insight thank you. It does largely reflect my experience getting back into the game . literally decades after I first picked it up. We have a few pre-made sets, three from the Battle Academy training set (Pikachu, Armarouge, Darkrai) $45 and one my brother was able to find at a retail store (Team Rocket Mewtwo) $90 AUD. I have some Chinese decks that were cheaper, so all in all we have eight decks that were about $150 aud. It's not something she can buy with her own pocket money, it's definitely christmas or birthday gift territory. The fun of building your own deck with singles is probably a bit further down the track, so far we've only mucked around with swapping like for like (like an ampharos in the Pikachu deck, and a rotom for a pachirisu).
