Are You Playing the Pokémon Trading Card Game?

A rarely mentioned topic on our site is the TCG-side of Pokémon, but I think it’s more than worth talking about occasionally. Pokémon recently announced details about the English release of the X&Y TCG expansion which will be coming on February 5, 2014. Fairy-type has been added to the cards, as well as a new Mega Pokémon mechanic.

Personally, I’ve always been more of a “collector” type when it comes to the Pokémon TCG. My three sisters never had any interest in battling when I was younger so even if I had made a competitive deck there wouldn’t have been any way for me to test it out. Luckily, children growing up in this online era have the Pokémon TCG Online game in case they have no interested siblings or nearby events. I don’t have much time for it, but I do really enjoy the TCGO game so if you haven’t checked it out I recommend that you do!

Looking forward to reading the comments about what you’re doing TCG-wise right now 🙂

ps- After I wake up (almost 11PM in Tokyo right now… I’m sick and tired) I plan to post an article about… POKEMON Z. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

  1. I’m learning through the online trading card game. I think it can become too expensive for me if i was to become a competetive card game player for real. It’s fun, but the video games are better.

    Reply
  2. I know how to play, but I’ve only play one real round. It’s fun, however I only collect due to having no one to play with…

    Reply
  3. I used to have some cards (still do I think) and some brown token thingies
    But the excitement of opening up a booster pack and finding a special card >

    Reply
  4. I used to collect the cards simply because it was a another way to get OFFICIAL cool art of my favorite Pokemon, my brothers had a few friends we battled with. I tried the TCGO and couldn’t really get into it.

    On an unrelated note, I really don’t see Pokemon Z as happening, Ever since it was announced X and Y were based off ideas being represented by graph plots, and how Zygarde was a balance between Xerneas and Yveltal, I’ve been thinking the next game would be Pokemon 0 or Pokemon Origin.

    Reply
  5. I’m taking a bunch of cool pictures of all the Pokemon cards and card mechandise that I’ve saved since I was 9 years old to 12 years old. I am now 22 and never gonna sell them lol. All in mint condition. I wanna pass them down to my kids whenever I have them.

    • or they could end up releasing Pokemon Z with RayquaZa as the green mascot instead of Zygorde lol and have it be an updated hoenn game with kalos pokemon in it as well. I’d be here for it lol.

      • HURREN IZ ALREDDY CUNFURMD
        I’ll tell you how
        1. Zygarde has aura breaker and Rayquaza has airlock (both break the other members abilities)
        2. Take honedge
        Cut off dge
        Replace E and N
        Add another N at the end
        HURREN CUNFURMD

        Reply
        • rotlmfao. not to mention, the trainer ” N ” saying his name aloud sounds like “hoeNN” so HURREN CONFIRMED! His green hair – emerald confirmed!!! Befriending Rayquaza as his next dragon lmfao – hurren confirmed!!

          Reply
      • Too bad Cloud Nine didn’t get the massive upgrade Sturdy got in Gen V. If it did, then Air Lock would be a threat for sure.

        Reply
        • IMO since the guide did say “regions” which pretty much means Hoenn is a given, and one completely new region, I’ll say the possibilities will be:

          XZ, YZ
          or Pokemon Z

          and then either
          Pokemon Jade, or Emerald 2, or some kind of updated Hoenn game.

          Reply
        • A/Z is another possibilty. A for Alpha and Z for Omega. Arceus would be the mascot for Alpha and Zygarde would be the mascot for Omega. Yes, Zygarde is the Order Pokémon, but for all we know, Zygarde and Arceus could be related. Zygarde is the snake of the underground afterall.

          Also, the Creation Trio’s signature items (Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb, and Griseous Orb) are found in Zygarde’s room. Not only that, but we have Arceus’ plates scattered all over Kalos just like in D/P/Pt (BW and B2W2 had most of them in the Abyssal Ruins). Finally, the Shiny Creation Trio were the last event Pokémon distributed (in North America and Europe) for Generation V, so I see an Arceus event going on once Pokémon Bank is released.

          This A/Z Theory came from my brother he’s the one who should get the credit.

          Reply
          • If there was an in-game event with the Shiny Creation Trio, they would have been distributed in Japan, which they weren’t.

          • I assumed Japan got them. I thought they get everything before everyone else (if we get it at all). If that’s the case, then why were they distributed in the first place?

      • I’m pretty sure the only reason we didn’t have pokemon grey was because of the negative connotations of grey. I mean there is literally no colour more boring. That being said they might want to cash in again on double sequels since there will always be those that find it necessary to buy both copies.

        Reply
      • Anything is possible. At this point anything is possible. We just don’t know what GF will do. I’m thinking either Hoenn remakes or gen seven will be soon. If gen seven, I suspect it will be similar to gen 2 in having the capabilty to travel to the previous region.

        Reply
    • Dear Whoever down voted me,
      Feel free to down vote whenever. However I’m pretty sure when BW2 were announced you were pretty sure that a “gray version” was the next big thing. W comes before X and Y, as Z comes after. So, W could be a prequel. Aside from that it was a joke. But at least I know you read my comment! Thanks for the acknowledgment!

  6. When the TCG online first began, I played like crazy. My parents never liked the idea of buying trading cards when I was a kid, but when I saw this…
    After they updated the game so that you had to download it, I couldn’t be bothered to start the 3 leagues all over again. Now I am more of a collector. Just opening free booster packs.

    Reply
  7. I will probably start playing the online trading card again soon since I already have a nice deck built in that game and won a few matches with it lol. But I prefer to just dishing out my old cards and having my little brother build his own deck with them and battling with me physically. I took a bunch of pictures of a bunch of trading card merchandise that I’ve owned for over 10 years now. Sorry if the pictures make the page load slow lol, just don’t refresh. click the links.

    this first pic is of my 3 binders/books of cards that i’ve managed to hold all these years. the blue book is the thickest – and stores all of my common/uncommon cards. The middle book was a special southern islands set i had got for christmas when I was about 9 or 10. The little red thick book has all my rarities and promos. And the bottom pick is a of a bunch of packs opened that I had saved lol.

    The second picture is the inside of my trading card league booklet that I used to attend physically at Toys R Us every saturday morning after Pokemon aired on TV (good times). The top left pic is of some photo cards that came in the southern island set.

    http://s12.postimg.org/vr9eq0vjx/photo_5.jpg

    The third picture has the bottom pic being the half of a playmat. The other person would connect their playmat to yours and you would battle. The top pic is of a tutorial of the TCG elusive Ancient Mew card.

    The fourth pic is an inside look at some of the cards in my southern island set

    The fifth pic is of a GS poster I just found in one of the books that I will definitely be hanging up in my room in about 15 mins lmao and to the right is inside the badge book – i had almost made it to 3 badges lol

  8. Now that I think about it, the last pack of cards that I bought in Disney world had a beautiful Altaria card, but it had a typing emblem I had never seen before. I think it was dragon.

  9. I’ve always loved collecting Pokemon Cards as a child but what really set my Pokemon Card collection was the start of the Gen 5 cards

    I bought a single booster pack for fun but what I found was a holographic Zekrom (the big black one) and I was enthralled with the feeling of finding rare cards at random and
    soon I’ve spent over 70 bucks on booster packs

    and now I’m a mere few cards away from completing the Unova Pokedex including different forms

  19. My only exposure to the TCG was the cards my two cousins had. They gave some to me and my brothers since we got into pokemon, sadly we had no use for them since we didn’t really get into the TCG as well as we did with the games, they looked neat though. I don’t really plan to play the TCG anytime soon, but I do like the artwork used for the cards themselves.

  20. I loved collecting them but I think when I was actually playing I didn’t do it right xD.There are times I miss having the cards and thought of collecting them again but for now I may just stick with the video games 🙂

        • is that a b/w? I wanted to get boxes of the region base sets, I really enjoyed the artwork of diamond and pearl base set, heartgold and soulsilver base set, and black and white base set. (I could have completely gotten the names of these wrong.)

          • Yeah, it’s BW. It’s the newest yet. The Reshiram that’s the picture for this article is the art for one of the packs.

  28. It all started one day when a neighborhood friend appeared and showed me a Pokemon card. I was baffled by all of these different creatures! So baffled that I persuaded my dad to take me to Walmart to buy my first Pokemon Cards. Before that, my friend gave me my first official Pokemon Card. An Unown J (as shown in one of the pictures below). Inside of that tin mentioned earlier I found an Infernape Lv. X, Charizard (Electric/Steel), etc. My friend was interested in that Infernape Lv. X and he got it. I knew he took it. He invented lies like “Oh my cousin has it and he broke it.” Didn’t believe a single word. He didn’t want to budge so I had to resort to calling my dad so I could get it back. Turns out, it was indeed in his possession. Lets just say he wasn’t a good role model. Eventually, he moved away and I haven’t seen him since.

    Anyway, thanks to him, I slowly started collecting cards and all of a sudden, I found out about the games. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl was out at the time and was the only one left used at GameStop. Pokemon Pearl was my first Pokemon game ever and I have been hooked ever since. Here are the best cards I have at the moment and the rest not shown (a ton) is behind all of those good cards and in tins.

If we’re gonna get community members in the game’s plot as a gym leader, E4, Champion, or whatever, we should probably just ask who’d be want to and then that person can pitch their idea for the certain character they want to put in with all the info that should be included for that certain character and whoever the people who’re developing this game like the most will be put in

  76. Little off topic but no where else to ask, someone messaged me on gamefaqs and asked me to hatch an egg because my shiny value is 463, while his is 525, can anyone explain to me what he means…?

    • it dosent makes sense of any way, or is he sayin u have much more probabilityes to hatch a shiny,or something i cant understand…

      Reply
      • it’s like, eggs have specific shiny values, which another owner out there also has, but you have to find that person with that shiny value for them to get the shiny and hatch it for you or themselves.

  78. so i’m breeding a Swinub should i go for Adamant for a powerful physical attacker or Careful to build a powerful wall that can dish out decent blows

    • Go for the adamant nature and add ice shard for priority since gliscor and ryperior and hippowdon are already defensive

  79. well, I had a grand theory about obtaining the coupon for the lumoise boutique, there is a lady in Cafe Woof who will only be impressed with you if you manage to keep your furfrou trimmed for 15 days straight, which means it stays in your party the entire time, I completed that today only to get pearl strings -.- i guess on the plus side my furfrou is level 80… now to find another way of getting the coupon!

  82. Wow! The transition from 2D to 3D was beautiful!! I go to B2/W2 to check something really quick and I put X & Y and W2 side by side. The difference is over 9000!!! The little protagonist looks so different and way smaller than in X & Y. I simply cannot believe it. So beautiful!

  83. The PC box looks so crowded that I can hardly tell which Pokemon I’m looking for! I’m so used to X & Y and it’s awesomeness now that I have seen B2/W2. Imagine playing X & Y and then playing R/B/Y 0.o

  85. I personally think that Hoenn remakes/sequels are very unlikely because:

    1: Hoenn used to have the exclusive Regirock, Regice and Registeel but since BW2, Hoenn now has no Pokemon that make it exclusive anymore.

    2. Too much water. Surfing on a Lapras in Hoenn would be great but there’s just too little land compared to how much water after the 6th gym. You have to surf this water for the 7th gym, climax of the story, 8th gym, victory road, Rayquaza, the regi’s puzzle and I think but I can’t remember, the Battle Frontier.

    3. Even though Hoenn is mentioned in Pokemon X & Y, there’s no point in saying that has any relevance because EVERY region is mentioned in the game.

    4. A new region is mentioned in the game by a person in a hotel differently each time you speak to him before he gives you the strange souvenir. He mentions a town, a facility and a champion and always ends by saying “oh, never mind, you’ll see it in due time” or something like that. And after you receive the strange souvenir, he mentions that he doesn’t come from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh or Unova.

    5. Bad enemy team/s. Team Magma and Team Aqua’s plots were quite stupid and I know people will tell me that there’s no logical point in enemy teams in games in general but if you think about it, Team Rocket’s, Team Galactic’s, Team Plasma’s and Team Flare’s plans all made sense and with each team, the plot has been getting better and better. After Team Flare, bringing Team Magma and Team Aqua back would be a step backwards.

    6. The dead Battle Frontier. I know I’ll really get insulted for this because people liked the Battle Frontier and I never really used it because I didn’t see the point but the reason I put this point up is because Pokemon has gotten ridden the Battle Frontier for 2 generations now and it’s been replaced by facilities that do the exact same thing as the main facility of the Battle Frontier, the Battle Tower.

    In conclusion (and this is only MY OPINION), for Hoenn to have a decent remake/sequel, it would have to replace it’s enemy team and increase it’s landmass and since it’s wild Pokemon found would be changed as well to keep it within generation 6, this would make an almost entirely new region which wouldn’t be Hoenn.
