The Pokemon Trading Card Game is a collectible card game based on the Pokemon video game series, first introduced in Japan in October 1996, then North America in December 1998.
The game is centered on the concept of the Pokemon battle. All Pokemon have attacks and Hit Points (HP); by doing damage to the opponent's Pokemon equal to their Hit Points, the player can knock them out and send them to the discard pile.
There are three different ways to win a game:
- The first type of win condition is to retrieve a set of "prize cards." A number of cards (usually six) are set aside from the top of each player's deck at the beginning of each game. Each time a player knocks out an opponent's Pokemon, he or she adds a prize card to his or her hand. Pokemon-ex cards, introduced in EX Ruby and Sapphire, are more powerful than their non-ex counterparts, but allow a player who knocks them out to take two prize cards instead of one.
- Second, a player loses if his or her active Pokemon (the one currently conducting battle) is knocked out and he or she has no other Pokemon in play.
- Third, a player draws a card from the top of the deck at the beginning of his or her turn, and therefore loses if there are no cards remaining in the deck at the beginning of the turn. This is a trend common to most trading card games.
