I've been a fan for years, and know how to play considering I've been playing TCGO on and off since late gen6. I just want to know how I could get into it in person? Is it much different than online?

    For getting into the tcg I would get an elite trainer box and some packs that will get you started and you will need stronger sleeves from game genic or dragon shield

    Dragon shield is stronger and more expensive

    Game genic shuffles better and cheaper

    Hope this helps

    I would start by going to your local game store and seeing when they have events, then I'm sure the staff will be glad to help you with a deck, I recommend getting into either Dragapult ex or Gardevoir ex, since they'll be the top-tiers in the next format and are already good now. There are also several PTCG streamers on Twitch and YouTube that'll be glad to help you as well.

    I recommend starting with a deck like dragapult ex or raging bolt/ogerpon ex, or charizard ex. Charizard ex is a powerful deck, and very easy to use. Raging Bolt/Ogerpon is also pretty strong, and also pretty easy to use. Dragapult ex is a good deck, one of the top in the meta rn, and takes a bit more skill to use. You can find deck lists online, and then tweak them to your liking, or come up with one yourself(I recommend at least looking at deck lists online for inspiration)
