Pokémon Puzzle Challenge & Trading Card Game Coming to 3DS Virtual Console

Two Gameboy classics will be making their way to the North American 3DS Virtual Console in November, Pokémon Puzzle Challenge (November 6, $4.99) and  Pokémon Trading Card Game GB (November 13, $5.99). Fans of these games should be happy to see them return on a modern console 🙂 Personally, I loved the TCG game and will definitely be picking it up next month and replaying it! Definitely recommend for those of you who might have missed out!

Check out the above trailer and tell me what you think in the comments!

  1. um… hi.. just checking.
    by “opting in” to receive messages from pokemon, is it just checking that box at the bottom of your “Edit Profile” page of your pokemon trainer club account that says something about getting information and news?
    Is that how you get the newsletter for the code? because i’ve checked that box a long time ago and i haven’t received any newsletters… only the monthly “Nintendo News” …. i don’t think i’ll get the code…
    is anybody able to give me an extra US/Canada Code they might have? 🙁

  7. I really hope they use Steven’s 3D model in the Champion fight instead of a stupid artwork VS Screen. I wanna see him throw out his Pokeball like in the demo ;~; He stands so cool

  9. It’s going to be SO awkward going to GameStop and saying “uhm…I’d like to move my reservation from Smash Bros. to Pokemon, please…” I don’t think I can do it!

      • it’s not good markieting move it’s shitty move like everything they doing, they even told they cannot patch XY for ORAS because they are afraid they will mess up the game bunch of amateurs not game company!

        Reply
          • probably yes, but still they adding stuff and next taking it like amateurs, they are big company and they can’t made ‘miracles’ with bunch of developers… in XY we should get patches with more clothes, interactive following us pokemons, newer pokeballs, even maybe patch with johto ones ect… ehhh I slowly getting to conclusion I’m playing these games just because of being fan while those games doesn’t deserving my time…

  18. Finally changed my Disqus cause I was so sick of looking at me from like 2 years ago (i’ve changed way too much)
    Not on a unrelated topic, I wonder if we really do get something if we play everyday…?

  20. Official Site revealed Mega Steelix and Mega Glalie
    Steelix Mega Evolves into Mega Steelix. The cells within its body, crystallized by the energy produced from Mega Evolution, are stronger than any mineral and able to withstand any temperature. It moves incredibly slowly, but its strengthened body is also impervious to damage, and it lashes out at foes without flinching.

    The excessive energy from its Mega Evolution gushes out of its mouth, blasting away and destroying its jaw. It is no longer able to close its mouth, and the freezing air it emits becomes far stronger. It tosses foes into its gaping mouth, expelling a burst of chilled air to freeze them instantly.

  21. What about primal archeus. The god of the universe fully restored to its full power with the abillity of collour change making his typing neutral to attacks from other pokemons and making his judgement abillity alway super effective xd

    • although Arceus God of creation did create everything i doubt it would get a Primal, but a Mega isn’t out of question i would like to see its omnipotent self with thousands of arms
      Primal Regresson needs better defining if you ask me, to avoid excessive Megas Legends
      everyone forgets how its even done, in the new world there was a abundance of natural energy that Groudon and Kyogre sought after and absorbed and became the form that the ancient Hoennites deemed Primal Groudon and Kyogre
      it makes sense since natural energy would flow through the land and seas
      but saying things like primal Arceus, Regis Regigiggas or any other legendary would be kinda incorrect
      also Genesect wouldn’t go primal but more of a “Un-Modified Form”

      Reply
      • ofcourse you have a point there but we must not forget that arceus went to sleep after it’s powers were severly weakened and he was badly damaged. When he finally woke up from his deep sleep he didnt posses al of his powers so a primal revelution would kinda make sense since his form would be taken back to the prime of his time making him again comleet. But a mega would also be possible i guess since he can’t get any stronger due normal evelution and thus he would be to be used at full potential.

  22. So I was playing the demo and I noticed that there is a replacement to the rustling grass in BW in the form of the Pokémon hiding in the grass and you can hear their cry. HAMAAAAZING!

    Also, does that mean that Swarm will increase your chance of hearing cries like in RSE?
