Pokémon Trading Card Game is the video game incarnation of the popular Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG). There are currently two games in the series. Both the series and the card game are based on the famous Pokémon video game series. Mimicking the style of the original Pokémon video games, this series featured the protagonist, Mark, that wanted to be the best at the Pokémon Trading Card Game. He would then travel between areas collecting cards and challenging Club Masters (equivalent to Gym Leaders). Upon defeating all of the Club Masters, he would face the Grand Masters (equivalent to the Elite Four). Afterwards he would fight his rival Ronald for the title of Champion. Winning would win him the four Legendary Pokémon Cards: Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno, and Dragonite. Each of the Grand Masters built their decks around one of these cards. Ronald uses a deck containing all four. The first game in the series was released in Japan for the Game Boy Color on December 18, 1998. It was then released in North America on March 31, 2000 and in Europe on December 8, 2000. When the game is played on a Super Game Boy, it features enhanced colors during battles, making it look almost identical to how it looks on a Game Boy Color. A second Game Boy Color game, Pokémon Card GB2, was released in Japan on March 28, 2001. The game was not released in North America nor Europe. A feature introduced in this game was the ability to play as a girl, similar to Mark, named Mint. The game noticeably parallels the quests in the actual Pokémon games. Players must defeat the 8 Club Masters, similar to Gym Leaders, and then the Grand Masters, parallel to the Elite Four, before finally the player's rival, who has become the Champion. Additionally, the collecting aspect is present, with over two hundred different cards available, some of which were created for the Game Boy game though most previously existed as real cards. Cards can be traded with in-game NPCs, or other copies of the game. The game is far less linear than the main Pokémon games; the player is free to challenge the Clubs in almost any order, though there are some restrictions. Battles are of course Pokémon card battles, essentially the same as the physical Trading Card Game, with the player able to create decks using the cards they have. Winning a battle rewards the player with extra cards to use, while losing incurs no penalty.

Pokémon Card GB2: Team Great Rocket is Here! was the second video game based on the popular Pokémon Trading Card Game. It is a Game Boy Color-exclusive sequel to the first game. It features characters from the first game, as well as a second island to travel to that expands on the first game, with a focus on the Team Rocket expansion. The game was the second in the Pokémon series to allow players to choose the gender of their character after Pokémon Crystal, which features the returning male protagonist name Mark and a new female character name Mint as an alternate protagonist. The game was never released outside of Japan. This game contains every Japanese card released through the Team Rocket set, including some Japan-only promotional cards, and the "GR's Mewtwo" promo card.

  • just found this game today it owns, where has it been all my life.

  • Excellent game, but I always wondered why all the characters were stomping as if they had to pee.

  • I loved this game as a kid! I wish I still had mine. Unfortunately my stepmom took mine away from me long ago when I was grounded and then couldn't remember where she hid it once the grounding was over. That was back in 2001. Still to this day I haven't found it.
