How come we cant have the OLD cards just for CASUAL play?

Is there an exploit everyone would manipulate to rake in rewards? If that's the case why not implement a game type for those cards ONLY? I think it'd be amazing to have the super old sets in the game, heck just in my collection to look at XD like the original base set charizard, Blastoise, alakazam, etc... as a matter of fact we need Zam back in the card game like yesterday, especially now that he has a mega evo, why was he ever discontinued from the card game in the first place? Sooo much cooler than like 98-99% of the pokes they come up with now, piles of trash and ice cream cones are not pokemon!!! Lol

The Abra line was discontinued from the TCG for fears of provoking Uri Geller's litigious nature.

Whilst the older sets such as Base Set and Jungle in the game would be nice, the fact of the matter is that they'd be incredibly underpowered compared to today's cards. Take Charizard from Base Set for 100 damage you have to have 4 Energy attached and discard 2; with Blaziken in Primal Clash you can do 100 damage for only 2 Energy and discard 1.

I don't even know what that is! Lol but it makes me mad

 

And I realize 99% of the cards would be severely underpowered but I don't see what's wrong with that, especially if you made a custom gameplay where you could only use cards from the first few sets, or you could just use them for the fun of it, or pro kids could use them for an added challenge, but as long as it's not OVER powered I don't see how it could hurt

 

Also I think that charizard might still be semi viable in the right deck (most likely a complete niche deck) considering the attack cost is basically 4 of any type of energies with his ability

 

Edit: had to do a search on abra lines ban, couldn't find much but apparently my "fellow" Christians deemed him a centerpiece of why POKEMON is the devil -.- I really really hate the idiotic things people of my religion come up with

 

Edit #2: looked up some videos and apparently this psycho who thinks he's psychic tried to sue pokemon over this year's ago.. but lost, so I still don't understand why he was removed (from the bit of research I did it seems like no one really does lol) I find it even more strange that he was only banned from the card game and not the handheld games O.o none of this makes sense, saw some people say his design consists off cryptic and offensive messages, say they put the star of David on kadabras head to represent that dudes Jewish herritage but I don't think they realize he has a 5 point star and not a 6 lol it's nothing like the star of David, also they said the patterns on his stomach could be formed into a swastika which is also nonsense for 2 reasons, there's 3 "lightning bolt like" shapes, making a swastika would consist of two, also overlooking that the Germans stole that symbol (and turned it sideways) from Japan where it was a symbol for good luck... all so perplexing
