"The Timeless Dominance of Pokémon Trading Card Game on Game Boy Color"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Verge
The Pokémon Trading Card Game for the Nintendo Game Boy Color, despite its simplicity and age, remains one of the most engaging entries in the Pokémon series and an unmatched introduction to the world of pocket monsters. The game's mechanics, modeled after the mainline Pokémon games, require strategy and understanding of card interactions. With the recent addition of the Pokémon Trading Card Game to the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service, it provides a great opportunity for newcomers to try the game without the learning curve and financial investment of the digital platforms. The game's limitations and small card pool encourage players to learn and master the cards, making it a refreshing and complete package compared to modern microtransaction-driven games.
