This page here will take you through the Step-by-step way to play Pokemon, the card
game. I have a few cards so I could tell you people how to play actually looks kind of fun. From e-mails I have received, this game seems tothe game and it
definitely be worth your time and money. It is very easy to learn how to play and
even has some indepth strategy for more advanced players. So here we go.....onto
step one. Some attacks may put these effects on a Pokemon. Only an active
pokemon can get these problems. When a pokemon is returned to the bench, these
effects are removed. Poison: Identify a poisoned pokemon by putting a poison marker
on it. A poisoned pokemon gets 10 damage after each player's turn Confusion: Turn a confused pokemon up-side down. Whenever
a confused Pokemon attacks or tries to retreat, flip a coin. If you are trying to
retreat, flip a coin. If it is heads, the pokemon retreats, if it is tails, it
doesn't. If you are attacking, flip a coin too. On heads the attack works
normally, but on tails, the pokemon does 20 damage to itself. Paralysis: Turn a paralyzed pokemon on it's right side.
When a pokemon is paralyzed, it cannot attack or retreat. It recovers after
it's players next turn. When it recovers, turn it right-side up. Sleep: Turn a pokemon on it's left side when it is asleep.
A pokemon that is asleep cannot attack or retreat. After each player's turn,
flip a coin. On heads, the pokemon wakes up and returns to it's right-side up
position. On tails, it remains asleep and you must wait till after the next turn to
wake it up. These
are the basic rules to playing Pokemon. There are more advanced rules but I could
probably go on for a long time on those so I will let you learn those by reading them in
the official rule book or learning them from another friend. If you have any Pokemon
cards and want to know the current prices of them, be sure to visit the Pokemon Card Price
Guide. There is a link at the top of the page. Well, ja mata ne.
Step 1: Have an opponent and a 60 card deck.
Shuffle you deck and put it in front of you face down. Draw 7 cards, this is
your hand. Look at you hand and if you do not have a Basic Pokemon card in your
hand, show it to your opponent and shuffle it back into your deck and draw a new hand of 7
cards. Because you did this, your opponent may draw 2 more cards. Repeat this
process until each of you has a Basic Pokemon card in your hand.
Step 2: You and your opponent choose a
Basic Pokemon from your hand and put them face down in front of you, these are you active
pokemon. You may play up to 5 Basic Pokemon from your hand. Now take 6 cards
from the top of you deck, don't look at them. Place these in front of you.
When you knock out an opponent's pokemon, you get to take one of these as your
prizes. Now, flip a coin to decide who goes first. Then, flip over all active
pokemon that you and your opponent have played.
Step 3: Now either you or your
opponent will begin his or her turn. Follow these steps during your turn:
Step 4: This is probably the most
complex part of the game, attacking. To attack with a Pokemon, declare it as an
attacker to your opponent, and your opponent declares a defending Pokemon. Each
Pokemon has at least one ability to attack, and these usually require Plant, Fire, Water,
Electric, Psychic, Fighting, or Colourless power. Colourless power can use any type
of energy, but the others have to be of that type. Choose the ability you want to
use. Read what it does and how many points of damage it does. For each 10
damage done, put a counter on the pokemon that the damage was done to. When the
damage exceeds the HP of a pokemon, it is knocked out. For example, a pokemon with
50 HP with 5 or more counters on it passes out. If a pokemon has a weakness to the
type of attack done, double the damage done. When a pokemon gets knocked out, put it
and all cards attached to it into the owner's discard pile
Step 5: Sleep, Confusion, Paralysis,
and Poison.
