I always thought the Pokémon TCG GB game art was fantastic as a kid. Replaying the game as an adult, the amount of care and detail that went into recreating the original cards is ridiculous! It manages to be both faithful to the original art yet super readable on the GB/GBC. In my opinion, adding an outline to the Pokémon does a lot of the work and is the smartest decision they made. Thank you very much for going deep into this topic. Turns out, they went even further than I thought! This was a great video on a great game :'D

A little known fact: Pokémon Gold and Silver actually are compatible with the Super Game Boy. It works more like Pokémon Red and Blue did, with areas being given the same color palette rather than the more colorful Game Boy Color graphics. Also, at night, everything turns a dark shade of cyan/teal, which looks really unique. It's a really interesting and unique way to play, and I definitely recommend it to everyone. Edit: A lot of people are talking about how they want to see this for themselves, but they don't have a Super Game Boy to try it with. Most Game Boy emulators are able to emulate the Super Game Boy pallette, so you might want to try that.

At 9:40, I thought of Dark Golbat and how it has a similar issue as Charmeleon, where colors of the Pokemon actually 'bleed out' into the background. Dark Golbat is a worse offender though, because it's purple and blue are very apparent unlike the Charmeleon's small zone of red pixels. Although I don't know a single player that would use Dark Golbat. It's such a bad card, and I don't think the AI uses it either.

Wow, I played both the different GB games of Yugioh and both games of TGC pokémon so I found the whole video very interesting. Now I understand why I felt there was something off/different with the second game of Pokémon in regards to the art of the cards. Also, I cannot believe that was the reason behind the attacking cards being face down in Yugioh the whole time! For a limitation of the game, it was an extremely clever way to overcome it. I would have never notice, it looks very like an artistic choice mostly.

I told everyone in my family I wanted a pokemon game for my Gameboy and they totally didn't coordinate. I got 3 copies lmao. Seeing anyone talk about the GB game always piques my interest. I love the ken sugimori/early TCG art and I'm glad to see such a tasteful analysis videos.

Not sure if you mention this in the video because I'm commenting before watching but on top of the graphics pretty much everything about this game is great. It translates the card game to such a tiny screen without hindering your ability to see all the info you need to easily. The music is great, too. Especially that menu theme. A little niche, but for me, easily in the top 10 GameBoy games

Wow, that was an extremely abrupt ending to the video! o_O Anyway: I've been playing Pokémon TCG quite a bit lately, and I agree that the art looks good. It's probably much more impressive if you know what the original cards look like, though, since they are emulated so well. I've owned a few Pokémon cards as a kid, but the only graphics that seems familiar to me are the energy cards and the Ponyta one. Nice video. It's a shame that the sequel didn't come out in English, and I'm also disappointed that there are no Pokémon TCG games for GBA, Switch or other handhelds.
