Pokemon Trading Card Game 1 and 2 Combo Cart (Gameboy Advance GBA)

This was my first ever custom-cart purchase, so I had no idea what to expect. I had never gotten an chance to play TCG2, and having a portable English version on a cart felt like the right way to play.
So far, it has been amazing. I'm using a Nintendo DS to play the GBA cart, so the native screen size is a bit small, but that's expected. No issues with rom/emulation so far, everything working as intended. It is also wonderful to have save states on these older games, especially with some of the less "fun" randomness. (10 Heads coin-flips in a row?!? Absolutely bonkers. I gave it an honest, legitimate try for 2 hours before giving in and save-scumming. =p)
The only nitpick I have is that when opening in-game menus, and when opponents are thinking, there is a not insignificant amount of slowdown, made noticeable by the music hitching/tempoing down. Not a huge deal for me, but it is there. It could be because I'm not playing on a GBA, but I still think it bears mentioning.
Overall, I still think this is a very worthwhile purchase! Definitely will be shopping here again if the need arises.
Amazing! I could not be happier with the product. Thank you RetroGamers!!
Great quality and works perfectly. No complaints
I'm glad you enjoyed the game. The Pokemon Trading Card Game series is one of my favorites. We are actually going to offer Pokemon Trading Card Game Generations Edition. Its a Pokemon ROM hack that adds more Pokemon cards from newer Gens. Check it out soon. We will probably list it within the next few weeks.
Ok so this game has both Pokemon Trading Card Game 1 and the English Translated version of Pokemon Trading Card Game 2. I put over 50+ hours into both games already. The really cool thing is it has SAVE STATES. Just press L and R while playing and you can access the menu to do save states and load states. Thats super handy. You can basically save during a card battle! haha
