It overall is a really good game especially if you are like me and love Pokémon.  This game seems to start off right were the first one left off and has just about all the same cards as the fist one and new dark Pokémon cards and all the card that you would fine in the R booster packs.  Well like I said before it starts off that you have just won the legendary Pokémon cards and out of the blue an new team (witch is noting more than the Team Rocket we all know and love) attack and still all the cards from all the clubs and your cards alone with them, and its your job to get those cards back and in doing so bring down this new threat. Given that you can fine all the card to do it you can make all the same deck you made in the fist one and save them to a new very handy computer that your character has on his person at all time and recreate it as long as you have the cards to do so witch really come in handy case there are some people in the game that flat out refuse to duel you if your deck doesn't have 4 of a certain card or only one kind of energy in it. So the game is constantly forcing you to use diffident cards and you go out and obtain new cards and learn new combos with those card keeping the game new and fresh.  With the mix from the old cards and the new one you can really make some really good deck that can do some really broken stuff but note that the game also know how to use the new and old to do the same thing and I found myself learning from the game from time to time. Well like the first one after betting the boss of an element (color) they award you with a new coin but you can now use in dueling witch are also needed to access new Ares with new rules of dueling. Unlike other ones I have played this is completely translated but there is one card I found that just has no name, I know the card to be gamble but when you obtain it has no name and show as a blank in the deck builder but other than it not having a name everything else seems to be in place. There was one place in the game were I needed to have four of one card in my deck to duel this guy and I only had three needless to say I had to go back and duel and lot of people to get more packs before I ever got the card I was looking for. The game is pretty straightforward with no real puzzle other than making a new deck that fix within the guidelines of someone you need to bet to progress the story. In closing I would like to give you a tip on making decks. After I obtain dark dragonairs I use them in most all of the other decks I made just changed the energy and the other Pokémon in the decks case with them being colorless and making it easy to get evolution cards to hand they really came in handy.

I was really excited to see this review. I loved the first one as a kid, and never understood why they never made another. I haven't touched a Pokémon tcg in years, but I might actually try this one.
