Life is imitating art, and it is imitating life again. Pokemon started out as a video game, went to a card game, now there is a video game about the card game? Come on its just like: The making of: The making of: Titanic! I have had just about enough pokemon for one life time

Boring

My 9 year old son says this game is boring. "All you do is find something, press A, find something, Press A. That's all you do."

My child hated it

Pokemon the cardgame is a dull game based on a hyperactive cartoon and obnoxious fad. I reluctantly purchased it for my young boy and he didn't care for it. Kids will want it because it is Pokemon and they gotta have them all. Parents will cringe when they must purchase it, knowing that it will sit under a bed after the craze goes.

I can't believe nintendo is giving us this junk!

Okay, the card game's a rip, so why waste [the money] to buy a computerized version that "trains" you to play the game. If your a parent, just buy your kids the cardboard kind, if they absolutely need it, because it will only interest them for a small amount of time, before they move on to more interesting things. My advice: Skip it all together. As if the card game wasn't bad enough, nintendo gives us this crud. Trust me, I know from experience, pokemon cards are great dust collectors, and this game is no different.

This Game Stinks

The first time I got this game I didn't like it very much. Then I let one of my friends borrow it and he never brought it back. Then I got it again in hopes of beating some people. So I walked into the Rock Club to defeat the master there and he told me I had to go find his pupils first. So I found two of them and I still can't find the others. I even went on a cheat website and I followed where it says she is and she's not there! This game is really boring. I mean really. Playing the TCG in real life is way more fun.

not the greatest game in the world

There are 3 games to play, but for one of them you need 2 gameboys and 2 cartridges. For another one, you just walk around through buildings and do absolutely nothing. In the other one, you just make a deck but it has to have 60 cards in it and only one deck has 60 cards in it. This game is really confusing, especially if you don't have the instructions. Don't buy it!

Pretty good as they go

Not one of the best poke toys out there, but this is one worth buying, but maybe not for the real young'ens out there.

This is one of the worst Pokemon games ever! At the beginning I thought it was going to be really kool, but the only good thing was that I got a free Holo Promo Meowth Card. The game gets really boring after a while, and is really lame. Only get this game if ur on a quest to collect all the Pokemon games, like me.

Playing cards is confusing, but not always difficult.

The controls in this game are confusing, because you can't tell what the messages or options mean. However, if you want to play this kind of game, I recommend reading the instruction manual daily. Why? Because the rules are completely forgettable. Otherwise, this game may not be worth playing, unless you have a partner to help you play it.

This game is ok, but I can only give it 3.5 stars; the cards in it are not what are in the actual game. Kids are taught how to play a game, that is pretty good. It teaches you how to play. I'm ok with that. What I'm not ok with is that kids who play this game before the cards will rely on cards you can only get on the gameboy, not in the real game. Other than that, it's cool!
