The Team Rocket set introduced 'dark' Pokémon cards, such as this Dark Raichu. The sequel featured the same set of cards as the first game, plus the Team Rocket set of cards from the TCG and a few more, which increased the overall available number of cards to 445. The Game Boy game included cards from the TCG’s Base, Fossil and Jungle sets, with a total of 226 cards available for kids to collect.Ī year after UK and US fans were enjoying the game, a sequel came out in Japan in 2001 titled Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR! This game saw an expanded story mode involving the evil organisation stealing not only cards, but capturing people too. Instead, it took place in a world closer to our own, where the Pokémon card game was the only thing that mattered. Though it used a few assets from the mainline Pokémon video games, the Pokémon Trading Card Game video game wasn’t based in the same world - or even a world where Pokémon were real. A few years after the Pokémon TCG made its tabletop debut in 1996, a Game Boy Color game based on the card game came out in Japan, which the UK and North America eventually saw in 2000. Pokémania hit the world in the ‘90s, sparking a Pokémon TV show, trading card game and collectables galore.
