Pokemon burst on the scene of Nintendo’s Game Boy in 1995 as a role-playing game that allowed players to link Game Boys together and compete against their friends. Second only to the popularity of the Mario Brothers, the fame of Pokemon grew into a gigantic media franchise, spawning toys, books, anime, manga, and a collectible card game (CCG) called the Pokemon Trading Card Game. The card game was first produced by Wizards of the Coast, but later, after so much success, was pulled back under the wing of Nintendo itself. There have been 35 complete sets of cards released from 1998 to 2008! Each containing anywhere from 61-368 cards. Only 8 of these sets, however, are allowed in most tournament or league games.
In this free video series on playing Pokemon, a resident Pokemon Master, Jodi Serge, teaches you how to play Pokemon TCG. You will learn about each kind of card, strategies for attacking, and how damage is dealt. Besides damage, special conditions can affect each pokemon, and Jodi runs through those as well. Knocking out pokemon is key to winning, but other cards change the pace of the game without doing direct damage; trainer cards introduce new stadiums, healing, or effects that alter game play. Learn to catch 'em all here!
