Pokémon Trading Card Game is a Gameboy game based on the card game by Wizards of the Coast. The game only features cards from the base game, the Jungle expansion, and the Fossil expansion. The game came with a promotional Meowth card.
Story
A contest has been announced. Anyone who can beat the Grand Masters will win the four Legendary Cards and earn the title of champion. Mark wants to be the champion, but so do many others, including his rival, Ronald.
Gameplay
The player is presented with a map showing all the locations in the game. The player can go to any of them and challenge any player to a game by talking to them. The rules of the game are the same as the rules in real life.
There are eight clubs on the island, each with a Club Master. The player must beat each of the Club Masters and earn their medal. Along with allowing the player access to the club's decks, all the medals are needed to challenge the Grand Masters.
Each of the Grand Masters has a deck built around one of the Legendary Cards. If the player beats each Grand Master, they must defeat Ronald who is using a deck with all of the Legendary Cards.
Aside from earning medals, there are several other events for the player to participate in. Every once in a while, a tournament is held with a rare card as the prize. A collector living to the northwest will occasionally trade a rare card. The player will get the chance to battle Ronald as well as Imakuni?
Connectivity
Pokémon Trading Card Game can connect with other Gameboys with the same game. Using a link cable, players can battle or trade cards. If they both have a Gameboy Color, they can use the infrared port to do a Card Pop, giving each player a random card.
Legacy
Sequels
Pokémon Card GB2 was later released in Japan.
