The card battling Game Boy games don’t feature world movement like the main games. One big difference though is they’re all available right from the start. Club Masters have themed decks though, like the different types of Pokemon Gyms in the main games. It’s a lot like the Pokémon Gym Challenge in the RPGs but with a few changes. Mark will need to defeat the eight Club Masters and then win against the four Grand Masters to become the Champion. The story starts with the player character, known canonically as Mark, as he learns the rules of the game, picks his first deck, and decides to try to become the Champion. There are no villains to worry about in the game’s story. The game has a fairly simple story, even compared with Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow. It was cards instead of actual creatures this time but the trading, collecting, and battling were just as addictive as before. The game featured digital versions of cards in a brand-new universe for players to conquer with their Pokémon. Pokémon Trading Card Game was released in Japan in 1998 and came to Australia, Europe, and North America in 2000. The Game Boy Color’s Pokémon Trading Card Game cartridge changed all of that. It felt like too much to learn and take in, and that was before strategies and winning against other players was taken into account. It looked complicated when I tried to learn through reading the instructions included in boxes of cards.

But I didn’t know how to play the card game. I liked looking at them, collecting them, and referencing the visuals when playing the graphically limited RPG entries on my Game Boy Color. It showed people how to play the card game so card collectors could become players, if they weren’t already, and people only involved with Pokémon outside of the cards could see what they were missing. The Game Boy Color spinoff served an important purpose though. I remember my school even banned card trading and battling after having to diffuse arguments and deal with trader’s remorse after recess. Pokémon cards were in schools across the world. The card game was already ridiculously popular. It also provided yet another revenue stream for Nintendo while also giving fans another way to enjoy Pokémon. This built additional awareness around the already popular card game. One idea in particular that was especially brilliant was Pokémon Trading Card Game for the Game Boy Color. The mainline RPGs were the most popular but unique ideas, like Hey You, Pikachu, and twists on existing formulas, like Pokémon Puzzle Challenge, gave fans of Pokémon more options for games when looking for ways to enjoy the franchise on their Game Boy and Nintendo 64. Nintendo and Game Freak pushed for a variety of games to pull more people into the franchise’s powerful gravity.
