Become a Trading Card Game Master with the New Pokemon Weekly Video Series


To update: Episode one is now live! Join Pokémon TCG player Ellis Longhurst in the video above to learn everything about how to build a deck, including a detailed look at which types of cards, and how many of each, you should consider adding to your own creation.

Original article (Tuesday, February 2, 2021 at 15:00 GMT): If you hope to learn all about the Pokémon Trading Card Game, or even if you just want to brush up on your knowledge, The Pokémon Company has you covered.

Starting this Thursday, February 4, a new weekly video series will teach you everything you need to know about the popular card game. The series will be called ‘Top Deck Academy’ and will air on Pokémon’s official YouTube and Twitch channels each week.

The videos will introduce prominent members of the Pokémon TCG community and “introduce new decks, teach viewers how to create their own custom decks, offer tips for developing strong strategy, and much more.” While anyone interested in the game is encouraged to give the series a watch, beginner and intermediate players will naturally get the most out of this; Deck building and strategy can be tricky without a little guide at first, so this could be a great teaching tool.

We’ll be sure to update this post when the first video in the series drops this Thursday, so be sure to keep checking back if you want to see it.

In the meantime, we’ll keep dreaming of a reboot of the Pokémon TCG on Switch and staring at our beloved and brilliant Charizard. Oh, the memories.
