Originally released in Europe in the year 2000 for the Game Boy Color, the Pokémon Trading Card Game is now available via the Nintendo Switch Online store, as too is Pokémon Stadium 2.
As someone that was a huge fan of the original Pokémon Trading Card Game (and that owned the complete Base, Jungle and Fossil sets that the game was based around); this is huge news that the game will now be accessible on Nintendo Switch, and should bring a whole new audience to what was the first video game adaptation of the real life Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Pokémon Stadium 2 meanwhile was first released in Europe in 2001, and although it wasn’t quite as successful as its predecessor Pokémon Stadium; it did go on to sell over 2.5 million units worldwide, ranking it inside the top 20 best selling video games on the console.
Both games are officially available now via Nintendo’s online subscription service.
