How well does Pokémon Trading Card Game for Gameboy Color Hold Up? - Tama Hero

If you're here from Jack's video, welcome! This video is my most recent, but last week I uploaded a video that explains the entire history of my channel so if you are curious about what ancient YouTube was like, check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWG8frE2kuw

i dressed as Imakuni? for halloween once - figured if i was going to be standing alone in a corner all night long, at least i'll do it in character

"Yugioh requires a lot less extra steps" Oh, how that has changed exponentially.

I remember everyone just trading the cards for favors and NO ONE knew how to play and also great video!

Ahh, the neverending suffering of having good Pokémon music tracks on spin-offs and never being able to listen to them in the main series of games.

My buddy had the Pokémon TCG GB game, which we referred to as Pokémon Black before Black version was a thing, because of the cartridge colour. I gotta say, I was 5 at the time and we didn't speak English yet (we barely spoke our own language, haha) and this game reeeeally isn't fun if you can't read it.

"When you're young, you don't really need a lot because your imagination does the rest" Great quote... I really miss my childhood years. Nevertheless, I enjoy the new adventures in adulthood.

It's a hard things for kids to get their mind around, even adults at times when it comes to these types of card games. The best cards generally aren't the pokemon but the trainers, having 4 bills and 4 professor oaks is a must. Getting to your power cards quickly is the most important part of any competitive card game, as you've seen without it the game come down to massive amounts of luck. That video game is one of the best games I have every played that could teach someone how to play by the card game rules. Most Yu-Gi-Oh games didn't play by the rules at all.

I just visited my grandma’s house a few months ago and found 3 binders full of cards she kept for me. It was great seeing all the cards I used to play with 10 or 20 years ago.

I replay the TCG game for the gameboy color every now and then. Definitely brings back nostalgic memories!

It’s similar to early yugioh in that there aren’t many ways to search out cards from the deck and do combos. The first couple sets of yugioh were mostly normal monsters with lackluster stat lines, equip spells for each attribute, and then your meta cards like dark hole, swords of revealing light, mirror force, etc

It's worth noting that Dark Duel Stories was developed along side the rules for the TCG in Japan. IIRC, it represents an earlier version of the TCG rules; the dev team was working with an old version of the rules, while the TCG team changed things on their own, and by the time they found out it was too late for an overhaul.

Pokemon cards were a gateway drug to Magic The Gathering.

I played a lot of this game growing up, and now that the second one with Gen 2 cards has been Fan Translated and is longer and harder , it's make me sad that we never got a follow up on modern hardware.

For anyone who doesn't know: There's a sequel, Pokemon Card GB2, with a whole new island filled with gyms, it adds the Team Rocket set, loads of Japan only promos, and even more GB exclusives. The possibilities for decks are so much greater, and there are deck-restrictive challenges which prevent you from just steamrolling the game with a single deck and keeps things interesting. Highly, highly recommend playing it if you never have. It was never released in the US so it never had an official English release, but there've been a couple of patches/romhacks over the years with English translations for the Japanese ROM. You can track it all down if you are diligent enough, though I feel like it's become harder to recently.

I used to watch her when I was extremely young (like 8 or something) but then I moved away from Pokemon. Today I randomly stumbled upon this channel, it it brought be so much joy to see that a bunch of my old favorite YouTubers haven't changed! I haven't felt nostalgia like this in a long time, so thank you for that!

I was so into yugioh, even though most of my cards were fake, instead of bothering my friend with constantly duels i would make tournaments with my stuff animals and switch to the other side of the bed each turn. I even pretended one of my cards was the Seal of Orichalchos and the loser plush would be trapped in their most powerful card.

When I was a kid, the card with the coolest artwork "won" we didn't bother to learn actual rules

Listening to your voice and seeing you turn the cards back and forth to show off the shine is great ASMR :) It really helps my anxiety.

I really love it that you decided to cover this game. Played it a while back and as soon as you played the battle music I couldn't help but hum along. Very good video.
