5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Yet
In this game it is much more like reality. People make fair trades and only trade realistically. This is the best, most fun, and most challenging Pokemon game yet. Not to mention you get a free holographic Meowth when you buy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Whut I think :P
This game is pretty fun if you feel like playing the Pokémon card game while on a roadtrip or somewhere where whipping out a table or a surface is very convient. I feel the game runs a tad too slow though

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Chance, April 12, 2000

This review is from: Pokemon - Trading Card Game (Video Game)
Pokemon Trading Card is a wonderful translation of the original card game. It has a very informative tutorial along with a step by step walk through. Most adults might think that Pokemon Card Game might be a simple based mostly on luck such as Go-Fish. But give kids today more credit. They are more intelligent now than ever. So this game is extremelly complex. Therefore, this is an excellent opportunity for adults to find out what all the fuss is about. GOOD LUCK!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gameboy Pokemon TCG is really fun!, May 9, 2000

This review is from: Pokemon - Trading Card Game (Video Game)
This game is awesome! There are so many things that it includes its awesome. You can get all the promo cards, regular set cards and other cards that aren't even available in real life. This game sort of follows the regular pokemon game, you have to go around to "clubs", just like the gyms, and fight leaders. You also get 2 booster packs if you beat someone. You can battle certain people in Dr. Mason's lab to get just energys, and you can have your own decks built. You save lots of money to have MORE fun to play it on the Gameboy. If you have a link you can duel your friends. If you don't have a link, you can still actually trade like in real life. You loose the card you trade, but you will get one back from your friend using the COMM port. There is also something called Card Pop!, where you each get a card but you don't loose any. The graphics in this game are also pretty amazing for being on the Gameboy. The cards look exactly like they do in real life. This game follows all the rules except for one, and that is if you don't have basic cards in your deck, you just re-draw and nothing happens. This is a really great game, and I suggest you get it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good translation of the card game, May 1, 2000

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Pokemon - Trading Card Game (Video Game)
I find that this Gameboy game gives a good translation of the Pokemon CCG mechanics. While it does feature some cards that aren't available in the real card game, it does capture many of the elements quite well.

I like how each win is rewarded with booster "packs" of cards - allowing you to build more decks. Sometimes you need to play opponent's more than once but it is a good way to work out the kinks in your own deck.

I also like that it allows you to build and save decks of your own, as well as to build the decks that you faced at each of the various game centers.

I only gave it four stars because, like any game you play against a computerized opponent, your opponent's can only "think" and "play" under preset rules. A living opponent would prove more of a challenge. Then again, find a friend with their Gameboy and a copy of the game and a cable link AND then you can battle a living breathing opponent.

It sure is cheaper than hunting down the cards. If only they'd expand this in a future version with more of the game cards (more stuff from Fossil, Jungle, Team Rocket...)

If you want to play the Pokemon trading card game but don't want to have to collect a lot of cards, this is your game. This is also a great tutorial for the real game, even though the rules are different here and there. You will be able to develope the head to head card skills you'll nead for the real game. You can also get plenty of cards strictly for gameboy. I hope you enjoy this game just as much as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good game. :-), November 3, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Pokemon - Trading Card Game (Video Game)
This is an exelent game for anyone who is a fan of the pokemon tcg or pokemon in general. There are a viriety of people you can duel with a viriety of difaculty levels. There isalso the chalenge of building a great deck and colecting all the cards. For maximum play, get a link cable and a friend to hook up with. You can duel, trade, and card pop!

This review is from: Pokemon - Trading Card Game (Video Game)
This game is real fun. It is very similiar to the real life version but the graphics aren't as good. But it's game boy, not N64. You can save money on cards if you play this instead of the real version. And you could also fight against trainers any time you like. This is one of those alone games where say you are on a road trip, and instead of just sitting in the car, they can play this. Instead of spending your fortune on packs of cards, you can spend less money for this game.

This review is from: Pokemon - Trading Card Game (Video Game)
This game is really worth the money. If you love the card game, but you don't want to shell out a ton of money just to find one card, then this is the game for you! Can't find that Charizard? In this game, you have the option to start out with Charizard. That is almost reason enough to get this game. Buy it. Now.
