Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Get this

Install this plugin

Enjoy playing Pokemon TCG online with anyone you want with all the cards in existence.

Note that LackeyCCG is not a game in itself, it's just an engine that sets up the table for card games, and the plugins just adds the cards, their descriptions in text and pictures of the cards themselves, so you don't just have some bland text on a card. Also it adds some shortcuts like flipping a coin or adding/removing damage or poison or confuse, etc.

You still have to physically move the cards with your mouse, add damage with your mouse, click on "next turn", calculate damage yourself, and be fair to your opponent by not looking at his hand (you can click on any group of cards and reveal them to all players, or just yourself, or just someone, this is used mainly when a card has that effect, you being able to see hidden cards temporarily etc).

So basically it's just like playing card games on a table in real life, just using a computer interface.

Message me if you're interested for some games, I'll help you set it up and everything.

Also, it doesn't play just Pokemon, but most popular card games as well.

EDIT: fuck it I'll just post this as a separate post, more people need to see this :)

I am extremely interested in this...I used to love that game, but stopped playing because I lost the game itself...and there was not enough people to play it with...Ill grab that when I get home, and I would be interested in playing some games...Any other card games of this type you play that are on here?

[–]RomansRedditAcc 0 points1 point ago

Lackey had like 15-20 tcgs the last time I tried it, MTG and LOTR were pretty popular.

[–]Skydragonace 0 points1 point ago

Is the WoW game still played on there? I used to love playing that, but the Pokemon TCG was, and always will be, my first love. <3

[–]RomansRedditAcc 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think that was there as well. I only ever played MTG though.

[–]Skydragonace 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

fair enough. I could see how MTG would be insanely popular on there...When I get home I will take a look at this.

Imakuni? scared the shit out of me as a child

Me too. His music creeped me the hell out when I was kid..

[–]JediMstrMyk 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Scared me even more because after the first time I faced him and lost, my whole game got erased just after. So every time I'd head into that "pokecenter" like area and I heard that music, I just dipped the fuck out.

The only reason I learned how to play the actual trading card game.

[–]ChocolateCyanide 2 points3 points ago

I remember when I first got this game in middle school. I was showing it to some kids, trying to look cool. Their response while watching me play was "Do you just press "A" the entire time?" I think I said "Fuck you" and continued to compete against that weird fucker in the bodysuit who was around. what the fuck was up with him?

[–]sat0pi 1 point2 points ago

I actually imported this way back in the day... So fun.

[–]horrorinpureform 1 point2 points ago

Check our SNK vs Capcom : Card fighter's Clash for the NGP, it is another ridiculously fun card game.

[–]Digitalmodernism 0 points1 point ago

I was gonna say this. Amazing game. Maybe better than the pokemon one.

[–]Tatious 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Fuck. yes. I JUST found all my old gameboy games and this was amongst it. This and pokemon pinball were the shiiiiit.

Protip: Exeggutor + Venusaur + Double Energy = UNLIMITED POWER

[–]rnappi 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thats limited. It is only 0-160 power because of the 4 double energy card limit and the venusaur doesnt help since that only lets you move grass energy.

[–]ViralInfection 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually, double energy cards "Doesn't count as a basic Energy card.", you can attach 4 of them and unlimited basic energy cards.

As for Venusaur, you use he's special power to stock up energy cards before you swap out Exeggutor. (0-80, 50% chance each flip). Also keep in mind that Charizard has the most HP in this game of 120.

The double energies help you get past the 4 initial energies attached quickly. Remember each turn you're most likely attaching another energy to Exeggutor.

You end up taking out every Pokemon in one turn after a couple of turns. Keep a couple potions and super potions around to help heal exeggutor if he gets damaged.

I played this game way too much... the downside of this tactic is you have to wait for each coin flip to animate :(

[–]crawsex 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You didn't truly complete this game until you mastered the Zapdos combo deck. 4 of the gameboy-only Zapdos, no energy, using only scoop-up and the Zapdos poke-power to finish off your opponent. You should be able to win in the first time nearly every time, but you can always wait until your starting Zapdos has 40hp left before you combo off.

It took me ten years to beat this game, but when I did, I felt amazing.

[–]ApollosEpiphany 1 point2 points ago

This would be a pretty excellent 3DS game with augmented reality cards. (Optional, of course, so that online play was also feasible.)

[–]InvaderPhantom[!] 1 point2 points ago

I was like 6 when I got this game and I had no idea what I was doing, but I still loved this game. I still have it!

[–]iWatchNewGirlonFOX[S] 1 point2 points ago

I loved this game so much. I got so upset when someone stole it. Seriously, who would steal this game?!

Me. It was worth it. I'm never giving it back

[–]Skydragonace 0 points1 point ago

Ya, I was going to say, I would too...but it has already been taken, and I can't steal from a fellow thief..that would be wrong...I'd verse him for it, but it appears that my game has also been...misplaced...Hmm.

[–]Jdawg529 0 points1 point ago

I got so upset when I let a friend play this and he "accidentally" deleted my save data. As soon as I turned the game on I was like "You son of a bitch!"

[–]iWatchNewGirlonFOX[S] 0 points1 point ago

My favorite tactic was all one type decks with 20 or so of energy cards

[–]brosco128 0 points1 point ago

Such a great game. I always wished a new one would come out for the DS or something. I lost my copy a while ago. I have the ROM on my computer, but its not the same. While I was younger and far more religous, I used to desperately pray to God that I would get heads/tails in different situations. It was a life or death situation, for real.

http://www.pokemontcg.com/ and now you can play that game online with millions of fans like your self.. If you have extra cash and what not!

I don't agree that it's better than Gold, but it was great. I'm a fan of the actual series more though, despite how fun the spin offs are. Speaking of which, I need to beat the Mystery Dungeon games. Those are badass. I always got stuck at the last dungeon though. XD

best part about this game: easy to get all the cards.

[–]Grafeno -4 points-3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I find this very hard to believe if you actually owned blue, gold and sapphire. I downloaded this game (Pokemon TCG, GBC version) to play on my smartphone for these times when you want to play something on your smartphone, like when waiting in line or travelling. Of course, I ended up playing it non-stop for 2 days in a row, completing the game. I had great fun, but it was done very quickly and it was very easy aswell. I love the game and I understand the craving for circlejerking that this subreddit has, but there's no need to wrap it in such a hard to believe package :)

[–]iWatchNewGirlonFOX[S] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Some keywords are probably. Mostly because I enjoyed TCG more than the actual series itself.

[–]Skydragonace 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I can't say I played this more then gold, because that game was my favorite, but this game was extremely high up there...honestly, I never cared for saphire.

Android or iOS? If android can you send me the link to get it?

[–]Grafeno 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Android, google Gameboid, it works with standard gameboy roms (Posted from my Samsung Galaxy S ;) )

[–]CunningStunts -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

And yet you get downvoted for pointing out the obvious fact that this game can be completed 100% in 15 hours making the title nothing more than a circlejerking exaggeration in 99% of cases. Oh reddit, you slay me sometimes.
