Pokémon Trading Card Game Online/Guided Story

So as to not overwhelm new players of all age levels with the complexity of the full game and in order to assist less experienced players in learning basic game mechanics, all players are initially directed through a set of in-game Tutorials and then the beginning set of es in the Trainer Challenge before all game features are accessible.

Upon logging into the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, players start their adventure at a virtual "Game Store", where Trainers Zach and Ella welcome them. Players begin by playing through two in-game Tutorials with a simplified Basic Blue Starter Theme deck and its TCG Water and TCG Colorless  Pokémon against Zach and Ella before slowly unlocking a Basic Yellow Starter Theme deck and its TCG Lightning  and TCG Colorless  Pokémon against five additional computer-controlled Trainers. These seven Trainers uses a variety of different TCG Deck (Deck) and TCG Type (Pokémon types) and often use TCG Pokémon (Pokémon cards) with attacks that apply TCG Special Conditions, thus introducing players to a variety of basic game mechanics. Advancement through the in-game Tutorials does not require players to a given.

Next, players compete against another set of computer-controlled Trainer characters from the Trainer Challenge. Players are provided with four Starter Theme decks, each representing one of four Starter Pokémon types — TCG Fire, TCG Grass , TCG Lightning , and TCG Water. Player proceed sequentially through the Trainer Challenge as they matches in three in-game "Leagues". The full set of features in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online is not unlocked until players have won a match against the first several Trainers in the Gold League. Once the full feature set is unlocked, the Trainer Challenge may be pursued at the player's own pace or bypassed entirely.
