More info on the Game

100s of cards to collect, RPG-style adventure and turn-based battle, Battery back-up, Link cable support for two players and for Game Boy and Game Boy Color. If you’ve ever played the actual Pokèmon card game, you’ve got a keen sense of what the Game Boy game is all about -- you battle other players with cards from your own deck, fighting against other players’ Pokèmon. Before each battle, you put a couple of your own cards on the playfield as “prizes.” Each time a player takes out another player’s Pokèmon with attacks, that player gets to take one of the other player’s prize cards. When one player’s prize cards are snatched, the match is over.

The whole point of Pokèmon Trading Card Game is to build up your own deck of cards with extra cards and booster packs. Each game you play gives you the opportunity to win more powerful cards and booster packs -- the more you progress in the game, the stronger your deck will be. Cards consist of Pokèmon creature cards, power cards, move cards, evolution cards. You determine the strength of your attacks by how many power cards you’ve attached to that specific Pokèmon -- water for water Pokèmon, fire for fire Pokèmon, etc. Each player takes turns discarding creature and power cards, building up their Pokèmon cards on the playfield. Knock out the Pokèmon and you snag another card for your deck.

The game may sound complicated at start, but luckily you’re offered a detailed tutorial at the very beginning of the game. You actually can’t progress until you’ve gone through this tutorial match -- you can’t screw up, since every move is fixed. Once you’ve hit through the rigorous training, you can finally pick your starting deck (one of three) and build it up through matches.

The best part about Pokemon Trading Card Game is the ability to hook up two systems together and battle a buddy -- sure is a lot more organized than hauling your cards all over town to duke it out with your friends.

Pokèmon Trading Card Game will hit the shelves this April.
