The Pokmon Trading Card Game (ポケモンカードゲーム, Pokemon Kādo Gēmu, "Pokmon Card Game"), abbreviated as PTCG or Pokmon TCG, is a collectible card game developed by Creatures Inc. based on the Pokmon franchise. Standard gameplay cards include Pokmon cards, energy cards, trainer cards, and stadium cards, a variant of trainer cards. Pokmon cards contain data about the creature's type, attacks, ability, and HP as well as any special effects the cards have on the game. Basic (unevolved) Pokmon can change into their evolved forms during the game by playing subsequent evolution cards in the deck. Energy cards can be attached to Pokmon cards to power up attacks, and trainer cards can be used for different effects on the game. Card effects often rely on elements of luck, such as dice rolls and coin tosses, to decide an outcome. Counters are stacked on top of cards in play to indicate damage dealt, and players may choose to put their Pokmon cards on a bench to switch to a different attacker.
The game was originally released in Japan by Media Factory in 1996 as Pocket Monsters, which was based on the Pokmon Red, Blue, and Yellow Game Boy video games. Beginning in 1998, Pokmon trading cards were released in North America by Wizards of the Coast, which was known at the time for producing Magic: The Gathering. Wizards of the Coast released one demo set and eight expansion sets of cards for the first generation of Pokmon as well as nine expansion sets for the second generation of Pokmon. In June 2003, publishing rights were transferred from Wizards to The Pokmon Company. Since the release of EX Ruby and Sapphire in 2003, the Pokmon Company has handled publishing for every English-language expansion of the series.
Competitive challenges have been a part of the game since its early inception in Japan. Wizards of the Coast handled early tournaments during the Pokmon Trading Card Game League era, during which local competitions were held at American venues such as Toys "R" Us. A wide set of prizes, including Pokmon badges and Pokmon cards, were offered as prizes during this time. Competition has continued since the Pokmon Company assumed the role of publishing in 2003.
The Pokmon Trading Card Game was developed in Japan, based on the 1996 Pokmon Red, Blue, and Yellow Game Boy video game by Nintendo.[3] It was first published in October 1996 by Media Factory in Japan.[4] In the US, it was first published by Wizards of the Coast, towards the end of 1998 to capitalize on the US popularity of Pokmon.[3] Over the next five years, Wizards of the Coast published more than a dozen expansion sets for the game, allowing the company to sell millions of cards and earn more revenue from Pokmon than they had from Magic: The Gathering in its first 10 years.[3] Hasbro bought Wizards of the Coast in September 1999 for $325 million dollars based on the strength of the Pokmon license.[3] In 2001, Nintendo created its affiliate Pokmon USA, Inc., so that it could recover the US licensing rights to the game.[3] In June 2003, Nintendo transferred the publishing rights from Wizards of the Coast to The Pokmon Company.[5] Wizards sued Nintendo on October 1, 2003, and accused the company of poaching employees and violating its patent; the lawsuit was settled out of court.[3]
Players begin by having one player select heads or tails, and the other flips a coin; the winner of the coin flip will decide who goes first or second. (Dice may be used in place of coins, with even numbers representing heads and odd numbers representing tails; dice are also primarily used in official tournaments organized by The Pokmon Company). The player going first cannot attack or play a Supporter card (powerful Trainer effects card) on their first turn. Players shuffle their decks and draw seven cards, and then each puts one Basic Pokmon in play as their Active Pokmon. This Pokmon is the one that is actively attacking and receiving damage. If a player does not have any Basic Pokmon, they must call mulligan, shuffle, and then draw another hand until they draw a Basic Pokmon; the opponent may draw one additional card per mulligan. Once both players have at least one Basic Pokmon, they can play up to five more Basic Pokmon onto their Bench, and then take the top six cards of their deck and place them to the side as Prize cards.[6][1]
Play alternates between players who may take several actions during their turn, including playing additional Basic Pokmon, evolving their Pokmon, attaching an Energy card, playing Trainer cards, and using Pokmon abilities and attacks. After Trainer cards are played, cards are discarded by effects from Trainer cards or Abilities, and after Pokmon were "Knocked Out", they are put into the discard pile.[1] A player may also retreat their Active Pokmon, switching the Active Pokmon with one on the Bench by paying the Active Pokmon's retreat cost of a certain number of Energies. At the cost of ending the turn, players may use one of their Active Pokmon's attacks once the prerequisite number and types of Energy attached to that Pokmon is fulfilled. Effects from that attack are then activated and damage may be dealt on the defending Pokmon, which may modify based on the defender Pokmon's type weakness or a resistance policies, and/or by any other effects on the defending Pokmon. Players alternate attacking until a player wins either through one of the above win conditions or by concession.[7][1]
Pokmon cards depict one or multiple Pokmon from the Pokmon franchise, one to two elemental types, one or more attacks and/or an Ability, and a certain amount of HP. Basic Pokmon are Pokmon that have not evolved and can be played directly onto the Bench; they have Stage 1, Stage 2, and/or special mechanic evolutions. Each player may have up to six Pokmon in play: one in the Active Spot and five on the Bench.[7]
Most Pokmon have attacks that require a certain amount of Energies to use. Attacks deal damage to the opponent's Active Pokmon and sometimes deal additional damage to their Benched Pokmon; they may have additional effects like drawing cards, inflicting Special Conditions (Asleep, Burned, Confused, Paralyzed, or Poisoned) or altering the opponent's deck and/or board state. Abilities, previously called Pok-Powers and Pok-Bodies until 2011,[8] are not attacks, but special effects on Pokmon that may be activated once or multiple times during their turn, such as drawing additional cards or switching the opponent's Active Pokmon with one of their Benched Pokmon, or can be passive, i.e. they remain in effect as long as the Pokmon with the Ability remains in play.[1]
The other type of Pokmon cards are Evolution Pokmon. In contrast to a Basic Pokmon, Evolution Pokmon cannot be directly put into play; they must be placed on top of the corresponding previous Stage Pokmon to evolve it, and they cannot be played onto a Pokmon the same turn that Pokmon was put into the Bench or during the player's first turn. Stage 1 Pokmon evolve from Basic Pokmon, and Stage 2 Pokmon evolve from Stage 1 Pokmon. As a Pokmon evolves, it gains HP and their attacks change, usually becoming more powerful.[8] Over the years many different variations to the standard mechanics have been added, the most prominent of which are the signature feature of their respective expansion series.
Other Pokmon attributes include Owner's Pokmon,[20] Baby Pokmon,[21] Crystal Pokmon,[22] Dark Pokmon,[23] Light Pokmon,[24] Team Magma's cards,[25] Team Aqua's cards,[25] δ Delta Species,[26] Pokmon Prime,[27] Pokmon SP, Restored Pokmon, Team Plasma cards,[28] Ancient Trait, Ultra Beasts,[29] Single Strike,[30] Rapid Strike, Fusion Strike,[31] Ancient,[32] and Future cards.
Trainer cards perform various effects to affect the game, including but not limited to: drawing cards, healing Pokmon, discarding Energy from opposing Pokmon, or retrieving cards from the discard pile. Before the Diamond & Pearl series, all cards that were not Pokmon or Energy were considered Trainer cards. Afterward, Trainer cards were subdivided into three categories, Item, Stadium, and Supporter. Item cards directly affect the battling Pokmon and include the subcategory Pokmon Tool cards to attach to a Pokmon and provide for different effects. Stadium cards provide global effects both players can use, usually once per turn. Supporter cards have considerably the strongest effects, but they are limited to one per turn.[1] Starting with Scarlet & Violet, Pokmon Tool cards are considered as a separate category from Item cards; existing Pokmon Tool cards have received errata to conform to this change.[33] ACE SPEC Trainer cards have powerful unique effects but only one ACE SPEC card is allowed in the deck.
Energy cards are attached to Pokmon in play to power their attacks. Only one Energy card may be attached per turn, unless a player has an effect that specifies otherwise. There are two categories of Energy cards: Basic Energy and Special Energy. The nine different Basic Energy types which correspond to Pokmon card types are Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Psychic, Fighting, Darkness, Metal, and Fairy.[34][35] The Dragon type does not have a corresponding Basic Energy card, and instead uses multiple types of Energy cards. Basic Energy cards fulfill costs for attacking and retreating and don't have additional effects, while most Special Energy cards have additional effects. Most attacks require a certain type and amount of Energy. If the attack has a Colorless Energy requirement, that requirement can be met by any Energy card.[1] Any amount of Basic Energy can be put in the deck, but only four of each special energy can be put in, just like Trainer and Pokmon cards.
