Customer Review: Pkmn Trading Card Game (GBC)
Summary: 4 Stars
This game was the classic sequel to the Win95 CD-Rom version of the game. The young adults who were fans of the TCG when they were kids would love this game. For the new fans of the TCG, this could be a history lesson on how it all began. The game follows a similar pattern to the rpg-style Pokemon games: 8 gym leaders and one final Champion. This game has high replay value due to its gbc-link compatible fighting and trading system. And collectors can enjoy the challenge of getting all the cards.
My rating: 4/5
Description of Pokemon - Trading Card Game
Your goal in life is to become a Pok?mon Card Master. In order to do that, you must pick a deck from three starter packs of cards based on Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur and travel to the eight card clubs and defeat their leaders. Along the way, you will challenge many players to collect new cards and the helpful Professor Mason will aid you by giving you cards as well. While becoming a card master is a laudable accomplishment, the real goal of the game is to collect all of the cards over 200 in all. If you want to collect all of the cards, you must play human opponents in the Pop mode to get a chance to earn rare cards. All of the complexity of the real-world game has been captured here. Play POK?MON TRADING CARD GAME and become a Pok?mon Card Master.Pok?mon Trading Card Game is a Game Boy Color title based on the popular strategy card game from Wizards of the Coast. Fans of the existing red, blue, and yellow versions of Pok?mon will find this game to be less redundant than earlier Game Boy Pocket Monster offerings. This game is more of a hybrid of its predecessors--mixing strategy card gameplay and role-playing game elements--with highly successful results.
The story in Pok?mon Trading Card Game is basically the same as that of the original Pok?mon titles, only with new character and feature names substituted. Instead of Professor Oak, players meet Dr. Mason. Gym Leaders are named Club Masters, battles are duels, and so forth. Learning the card game is a breeze thanks to the inclusion of comprehensive instructions and an in-depth tutorial. Although some minor changes have been made, the method of play is virtually identical to the original card game, and just as addictive. While much shorter than the Pok?mon games, the gameplay here doesn't involve random and repetitive battles, and follows a less linear path.
Although Pok?mon Trading Card Game would seem to turn a social experience into a solitary one, it allows for and encourages interacting with other game owners. Duels can be fought between players via a game link cable, and cards and decks can be traded using the infrared communications port. The most interesting (although somewhat dubious) feature here is the "card pop!" option, which generates one new card for each player when communicating wirelessly; the catch is that you can't "card pop!" the same person again for a while after doing so, thus limiting the feature's appeal. --Joe Hon
Pros:
- Easy-to-learn and highly addictive gameplay
- Features cards exclusive to the Game Boy
- Excellent game link and infrared communication port options
- Package includes limited edition trading card
- Relatively short game compared to Pok?mon Game Boy titles
- Very limited appeal outside the Pok?maniac crowd
