Come on, some of you out there remember this, right? Riiiight?
This game worked as so: you collect Pokemon cards, travel around the world, and play the card game with people. Sure, the premise is ridiculous, but the premise for this sort of game doesn’t really matter, because the point is to be able to make virtual decks and play virtual cards.
I rocked at this game, by the way. My “Bulbasaur Rainforest” deck was basically a guaranteed victory as soon as I pulled out Gyrados.
As per usual with the games I post, the music is awesome. Have two songs that are made of win:
First, the Club Master Duel theme, which is some of the most epic sounding music you will ever hear come out of a Game Boy speaker:
…and second, the Imakuni theme, which is weird and which you will probably hate until it grows on you and you start humming it at inopportune moments:
Back when I was into playing around with MIDIs I orchestrated this and called it “Imakuni’s Theme: (Pikestaff’s Version)” and made it my theme song because I totally snatch things like that.
Anyways, music aside, this game was seriously fun and I would buy a remake. Yep. Not even kidding.

I played the card game, but not the video game. Since I was at the age when everyone played the card game, playing the video game didn’t make much sense to me.
Yes, I did own this game. Yes, I sucked at it. Yes, Imakuni was weird and his music was catchy.
