Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Figured that with the release of TCG on the GB/GBC NSO service, we could do with a dedicated trading & battling thread. So here it is! As this game on NSO has full online battling and trading support, this thread is dedicated to those looking to fill out their TCG GBC decks and do some battles with fellow card fanatics. Also, since Card Pop! is a thing that is fully supported in this NSO re-release, you can also use this thread to find people up for a Card Pop! Note that there are two cards that are only obtainable via Card Pop!, as stolen from Serebii... https://www.serebii.net/tradingcardgamegb/cardpop.shtml Venusaur (PXX) Quote Mew (PXX) Quote Let the Children’s Card Games begin!

Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Yeah, a bunch of us need to get together and Card Pop around. Hopefully, some combinations of players will get those 2 cards, and then we can trade the eventual duplicates around. I can't start until Thursday though.

Posted August 8, 2023 I'm gonna take this opportunity to put a PSA out there. Because it's very easy to get into a situation where 100% completion gets really difficult. There's an NPC in this game, who at some point, will ask for all your unused energy cards, if you refuse, he'll leave and you won't get the Promo Slowpoke. (You can totally cheese this with the rewind feature, rewind, make a deck with nothing but 60 energy cards, as long as you have at least 1 unused, you can still get the card). Whenever you get a club medal, for the love of all that is holy, save your game immediately! Your rival, Ronald, has an annoying habit of ambushing you for a Children's Card Game Duel, and if you lose to him, you miss out on a card. As well as Ronald, make a habit of checking the Challenge Cup Venue after each club medal you get. Challenge Cups in progress will go away if you get another medal, and they have some promo cards too. If you do miss any of these, you can still get them after the credits, but it's a long, slow, and random process. Just get them the first opportunity you get, trust me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe one day Serebii's site will be made to work on these new fangled mobile phones. And yes, I'm looking at something hardcore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 9, 2023 Apparently once you make a haymaker deck you dominate everyone. Which sounds promising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 10, 2023 Yep, you can get a cool 240 energy cards about 15 minutes after you boot up the game Make a deck that contains all of your energies (and 1 basic Pokémon) Talk to the dude to the right of Dr. Mason, and he'll give you 10 of each energy because you're pathetic. Shove all those energies into another deck. Repeat until you can't make any more energy filled decks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) With save state shenanigans, I can easily duplicate this and send it to anyone who wants it. Unfortunately, it seems you can't actually get the Phantom Venusaur because of a bug in the original game's code. So Mew is all you can get.

Anyway, I have to say this game is actually pretty cool. Don't have any memory of playing it back in the day, but have put a few hours into it on Switch and it's definitely growing on me. Thought it was absolutely atrocious initially, mind you (came very close to giving up on it actually ) but once I better understood what the hell was going on a bit more, I started to enjoy it. Soundtrack helped a lot too!: Calm down composer! We've only paused the game. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ironically though only 2 of them can actually evolve! Because apparantly Surfing Pikachu and Flying Pikachu are not actually Pikachu... or some junk. Anyway, just got my 4th Medal. Got jammy with the water gym leader getting no extra Basic Pokemon at the start of the match, so I beat them in two turns Edited August 12, 2023 by Dcubed 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worst case scenario, @Dcubed just got the first Challenge Cup card, so he could theoretically duplicate one for you.

Posted August 12, 2023 Just now, Glen-i said: The first Challenge Cup happens after your third club medal, so it might not be too late Oh. Not whoops then. Pretty sure I only have 2 medals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: I'm still only at 1 medal, I probably should stop making stupid Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged references and get cracking, huh?

Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Yeah, make sure that you save immediately after each Gym Leader, before you get ambushed by Ronald and his offer of a Promo card... As always, Mario & Luigi offers the correct advice Edited August 12, 2023 by Dcubed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Accurate depiction of Dcubed after that Seriously, I'm legit impressed. Winning in one turn is one thing, but losing to a CPU in one turn is really, really amazing! Edited August 12, 2023 by Glen-i 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) I just pulled off what must be the single greatest comeback in all of Pokemon TCG history... From this... ... to this! Video capture of the last 30 seconds here (If Twitter/X decides to stop crapping itself)...
