Pokemon TCG
By Khrista Cendana Posted May 31, 2019 In Education News
How can Pokemon TCG be educational for kids? Can adults play the game? What is the
negative side of playing this game? This article will explain the basics of what the game is
and how it can be an educational tool.
What is Pokemon TCG? TCG is short for trading card game. The game became quite popular
in the late 90s. I was still a kid in elementary school, but during that time, I remember the
game being introduced when Pokemon began airing on television. Pokemon TCG is a twoplayer
game but it can also be a battle between four players. It involves a 60-card deck;
imagine a 52-card deck but with Pokemon cards. It’s a strategic and critical thinking game
that involves getting the right cards in your deck to beat your opponents, and it may seem
very complex if one doesn’t know how to play.
The Pokemon TCG Teaches Education
It’s harder for adults to find peers who play the card game of Pokemon. Here are some
tips and advice for adults:
Look for a store that sells Pokemon trading cards and see if they host a tournament for
adults.
Invite your friends who play Pokemon TCG, and if you don’t have any friends who play,
introduce them to the game.
You can go online and install the Pokemon TCG for the computer to play with someone

Top Issues With Pokemon TCG
There aren’t many kids or adults that plays the game.
Stealing: This issue is not included in the above link, but when Pokemon became a
popular hit, there was a lot of stealing in school when kids brought their cards in
hoping to trade or battle.
Older cards are worthless because the game has been updated over many years now.
Limitation: Certain cards are forbidden in a tournament like the old sets.
Is it easy for anyone to play the game? I think Pokemon TCG is easier to play than Magic
the Gathering, Yu-gi-oh or many other card games. Pokemon TCG is still strategic and
requires critical thinking, but Pokemon is more fun to play, I think. Learning to play it will
take a few days. I started playing the game because I saw some of my classmates playing
the game in school. I was watching them play and a few days later, I bought some cards
and began collecting since I watch the anime. I wasn’t really good at the game, and I just
collect the cards. Anyone can play the card game; it isn’t just for kids. It’s more of a learning
tool for kids as they can try and read hard words, do basic math, and practice strategic &
critical thinking. Not only that but they can do research on a certain card if they want to
trade or even start selling at a young age. The game is helpful to kids who are interested in
Pokemon, while for adults, it’s a way of either having fun or trying to gain profit from
certain cards.
