Is it worth to get into the Pokemon TCG at this point? Me and my friends wanna get back into it but we aren't sure where to start, is Generations good? What the hell are EX cards how is Mega Evolution added? It's been forever since I picked up a pack.

Generations is a good set for collecting. I'd get BREAKpoint boosters to start out, but that's just my opinion.
EX cards are powerful pokemon that are always basic, but when they are knocked out, the opponent takes two prize cards. Most decks run them, but there are counter cards like Regice.
Megas always evolve from EXs, and when you evolve them, you either have to end your turn or waste the pokemon tool slot to evolve it.

I advice you to wait, you can just play pokemon tcg online in meanwhile
this meta game is fun but definitely not worth to waste real moneys on it

and actually EX cards are for losers and noobs, they ruined this cardgame to me and I hope they will fix it with sumo
many cards have BULLSHIT attack cost, or retreat cost or BULLSHIT effect while others are just fucking useless... ect just play tcg online for a 3 months and you will see

Pretty sure if you want to get back in you buy singles for good decks.

I suggest you and your friends buy the Mewtwo vs Darkrai Battle Arena decks. They are decent decks with a ton of good cards that you can use to make your own original decks with after getting back into the groove of things.
What would be a good line to choose if I just want to collect?

Generations has a lot of cool cards and has a ton of box sets to purchase and more are to come.
Red and Blue Collection (3 box sets released of 4)
Mythical Collection (6 box sets released of 11)
Red and Blue Collection feature a Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, and Pikachu card (Pikachu isn't released yet). And each have 4 Generations packs. They cost like $25.
Mythical Collection each feature a mythical Pokemon card (Mew, Celebi, Shaymin, etc.) and 2 Generations packs. They cost like $13.

What the fuck is sumo? Is that the name of the next card set?
Wait for neo-standard, lot of garbage cards/decks are leaving. (Primal Clash to Steam Siege)
Pokemon TCG is not a good tcg
Quake Punch Toxicroak.
That's all you'll need

Packs are unreliable. Buy singles.
