Pokemon Trading Card Game - Part 1: Intro & Grass Club

Due to the heat wave we got hit with, I couldn't bring myself to fire up a RPG, so I decided to try something different. Note that I do have this on GB, and I can play my GB version on the operator, so if I have bad luck getting the cards I want/need, I can default to that.

Here, I opt to start with the fire deck (a rarity, I know), because fire is a fairly strong type in this game. It revolves around discarding energy cards for extra damage, but it will usually have enough power to one-shot many common enemies. Water is very energy intensive, so I don't like starting with that, plus they did the entire Squirtle line dirty in this game. Grass needs a lot of trainer card support, so I don't want to start with that either.

With our fledging fire deck in hand, we set foot into the Grass Club to try to take advantage of our typing. As a result, we are able to burn through them fairly quickly and nab our first medal. Sadly, I need to do an extra match against each trainer here since we are very limited for cards. I will do the grinding off camera to try to keep things a little entertaining for you guys.

As for this project, this is something I want to do when I want to relax and have down time. It is not going to be a priority project, so I want people to manage expectations accordingly. And maybe, just maybe, we can get Crimson or some of the other Stormbringers to play this in PVP.
