The Card Game for Game Boy
 You may have heard about the new
Pokémon card game released here in the States by Wizards of the Coast. In Japan, that
card game has become so popular that they re-released it as a Gameboy Color title,
Pokémon Card GB! Of course the Gameboy version has added a few things to make 1-player
gaming a little more interesting, but other than that it's pretty much Pokémon TCG. Your
goal is to become a Pokémon Card Master by defeating others in Pokémon Clubs around the
overworld map. You'll be able to buy items, learn new abilities, link up to challenge a
friend, or challenge club members to battles as you progress through the game. |
 To everyone's dismay, none of the
characters from the original game (i.e. Ash, Brock, Misty, Professor Oak, and Gary) are in
Pokémon Card GB. Hopefully if and when this game is released here in the U.S., Nintendo
will bring back some of these familiar faces. The good news is, however, all 150 Pokémon
can be found in card form throughout the game. There are also a few familiar sights as
well such as link clubs, PCs to store your decks, etc. |
 The cards in the game are
slightly different from the U.S. cards, but are similar enough to understand and use. Your
1st battle is also a tutorial for those of you who have not had the chance to play the
addictive card game. The strategy is easy to pick up, yet challenging to master so there
should be a good deal of replay value to the game. |
 Due to the massive popularity of the card game here in the states, Nintendo has decided to release the game in the states! Check the Release Dates section for the latest date. |
