Towards the end I crafted a Fire/Psychic deck that I really liked, but I put in Electric-types in place of Fire for the Articuno battle and in place of Psychic for the Dragonite battle. For the rival fight, I put my original deck back together... but forgot to replace the Electric energies with Psychic energies, so my Psychic Pokemon were completely useless. And yet, I somehow won!

I started with a Mr. Mime against his Kangaskhan and had a Charmander on the bench with Charmeleon and Charizard in hand, so I just powered up my Charmander until he was ready to solo. I started by switching his weaker Pokemon in and killing them with Charmeleon, and I almost lost him because I wasnt paying attention to his health, but the coin went my way for one and his Jolteon only got one hit of double kick, keeping me alive with 20 HP. Then I evolved into Charizard and cruised to victory.

Comparing this to the NES games weve played thus far doesnt even really feel fair. I mean, we did jump like 10 years into the future with this game, so it just feels a lot more modern. Also, it has Pokemon which is also a plus! Comparisons aside, I really like this game aside from the coin being a jerk. Its basically just combining two things I already like: Pokemon games and the Pokemon Card Game. The terminology is different and there are no towns or routes, but its basically like fighting 8 gyms, an elite four, and a champion, but instead of Pokemon battles you play the card game. I actually did play the TCG with my friends growing up, so its a good little dose of nostalgia as well. Plus, I started with the OG set (the one that came with a Machamp), so I remember all the cards. I really hope they put the second one up because I dont want to spend $60 on a used copy.

Also, Im going to try to get all the cards, but theres a decent chance I give up before finishing!
