>>24778923After I saw this posted, I actually did. Took me a night to beat (lots of fast forwarding tho).
I'm so mad at my child self for not realizing how broken and retarded the pokémon TCG was (is) back then. But with the knowledge of value I acquired from mtg and hearthstone, MAN is this a joke.
Bill - draw 2 cards for free? ok
Computer Search - discard 2 to draw ANY card? alright
Professor Oak - lal
Back when I was a kid, trainers were shit. Powerful stage 2 mons and energy, that's what you need! Nope. I cleared the entire game on the back of a single Squirtle. If it's your only basic, you always draw it, so you energy, maybe defender, attack/pass, and draw the entire deck on turn 2 on the back of computer search, bill, challenge! (they always refuse), energy search (effectively acts as 2 cards to thin your deck) professor oak. 8-10 energy more than enough. Discard all your energies before you get to pokémon breeder and blastoise? No problem! Energy retrieval, super energy retrieval. Discard breeder and blastoise? Use the card that sends 3 cards from pile to deck (can't recall name). The point is to get to Blastoise and pump 60 damage a turn from turn 2. So you should have 2-4 breeders/blastoises depending on how paranoid you are (they can be in prizes). Add some potions, super potions, defenders, plus powers (did I mention trainers are FREE?), and you got yourself the final raidboss that can't be stopped. The phantoms are a joke. 50 wins at the machine is a joke.
This card game is a joke.
