Excellent Sequel that never made it to the US

I don't speak japanese so getting through this game was fairly challenging, but I enjoyed it enough to figure it all out and beat it anyway. The original Pokemon TCG for gameboy was a great game, and this is basically 2.0 of said game, featuring a new island with new "gyms". Along with new areas and "duelists", you now earn coins instead of medals that you can use instead of the default coin in matches. The computer that contains mail and collection information is now in a portable form and now exists in the standard menu. You can now save up to 5 custom deck builds at any time, anywhere. And featuring a ton of new cards from the rocket set, pop series, and more, there is a lot more deck variety available.

If you like the TCG and loved the first game check this one out, I know there is an English fan translated rom out there on the web, but there is nothing like playing the official game on official hardware, as long as you know the TCG and have access to the internet for card information and guidelines to some of the custom rule sets for later card matches you should be able to figure the game out without speaking Japanese, especially since the menus are laid out almost identical to the first game.

tl:dr If you liked the first game, this is the DEFINITIVE version, better in every way with new content and features galore. You will have to deal with the Japanese language though, whether you speak it or not.

Great game, even today!

This game is an absolute classic. If you're a fan of the TCG, or even just a pokemon fan in general, this game is amazing fun. And with the option to increase text speed, the gameplay is as fast if not faster than many modern TCGs, like Hearthstone.

Plus, the sprites for each card are beautiful, and the limited color palette of the GBC is used to full effect. Especially with an IPS screen, this is one you'll want to add to your collection!

Great deal for easy fix

came not working just like it said. Fixed it in 30 seconds just needed to re-flow the solder on the Rom chip.
