From what I've seen to make fg off pokemon is to play the card game can anyone break it down how it works

The PTCGO codes (that you can trade) come from physical trading card game packs. The vast majority of packs you can earn in-game are locked and therefore untradeable.

I should specify- you have to redeem the codes and mark the packs in-game as tradable to trade them over JSP. Codes on their own are illegal trades.

Hmm so if I bought one pack in real life how many packs is that online ? Like one for one

It's exactly 1:1. There's a physical card with a code in every pack.

Seems most packs go for 25 fg and I'm assuming physical packs are like 5 bucks right

You're close. Most brick-and-mortar stores sell them for $3.75-4.00 plus tax. Some online retailers have them around $3.00/pack, but shipping is a factor.

Damn seems most cost efficient to just buy fg D:

Per dollar, you're correct. I enjoy collecting and playing with the physical cards (and dabbling in the online game), so the code cards are a byproduct.
