While we've gone through numerous generations and expansions since Pokémon Trading Card Game was first released for Game Boy, it still serves as a great way to learn the basics of the TCG. Nowadays at tournaments most of the cards in the game are obsolete, but it's more or less straightforward to adapt new strategies once you understand the fundamentals. Pokémon Trading Card Game is considered one of the best Game Boy games of all time, and is still the gold standard for digital adaptations of TCGs. If you're feeling nostalgic, or you're like Lee and you want a better way to connect with the grade schoolers in your area, you can now play it on the 3DS Virtual Console .


Ultimately, while Walmart's new policy is a good sign for collectors ahead of the holiday season, it's not going to be enough to mitigate scalping across the board.
