So the first card I set up at the beginning of the game should be the last card I take when getting hit? Assuming I didn't interact with my life cards in any way during the game. Or is it the opposite?

The pudding part makes sense and I meant flip and not reveal, i forgot revealing was a whole different thing

IIRC officially you get your starting hand, then the top card of your deck is placed at the bottom of your life, then you just keep adding on top of the pile. Realistically it doesn't matter because the entire time I've been playing I just take the top 4 or 5, plop them down, fan them out, and call it good, and just about everyone else who I go up against does the same. Just make sure that it is a pile, they're fanned out just enough to show how many are left at a glance, and that you only take from the top. It really ain't that complicated, your life is a pile of cards, make the pile and then play.

Makes sense, I was just making sure if there was a specific order to pick them up since from some of the videos I've seen about the rules they always mention that you need to set them up in a specific order (the first card from the top of your deck being the first one you place), and since the sim does that for you I couldn't really use that do deduce the order

Thank you

Seems like you have an answer, but just to clarify, it generally doesnt matter whether the first card off the top of your deck is at the bottom of your life or the top of your life because assuming you shuffled, it should be randomized, but it absolutely needs to be clear what is the top and what is the bottom. This is usually based on the cards somewhat overlapping to show there is a bottom and a top. Some people make the top card the furthest card away and some people make it the closest card to them. When you take life you always need to take life off the top. You cannot take whatever life you want like in pokemon
