As many of you are probably already aware, two months ago I decided I wanted to create my own version of the Pokémon TCG in order to create a more fun experience for players itching to get to play in a diverse metagame. After two months of hard work and testing, I've finally created enough cards to be able to release the game to the public! I'll be releasing new expansions about every two weeks, so the game will always be fresh and exciting.
(Note: if you want to read over the thread I mentioned above for more history on this project, it can be found here. http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/thread-more-input-needed-see-post-126-does-pokemon-need-to-go-back-to-basics)
Unfortunately, it was very hard to put together a team of artists who could pump out realistic-looking cards fast enough to create great-looking cards. Instead, cards look like this:
Not the prettiest, but it allows me to make a lot of cards in an efficient time frame. I do not want to hear any comments about the design of the card blanks/skeletons. This project is done completely for free and completely on my own time, so this is the best I can realistically do.
In order to play with these cards, print off the cards you want to use, put them in sleeves in front of rotated/un-needed cards, and you'll have a realistic-feeling deck ready to use! Playing the game is literally as expensive as buying 15 sheets of printer paper! Of course, you'll also have to find a friend who's into the game. You guys can use this thread to organize games with other members over Skype/Redshark if you want, too.
Here's some more background and information/rules on the project:
Because I plan to promote this project on multiple sites, I created an intermediate Wordpress page to hold all of the card images and spoilers. Click here to go to it!
Please use this thread to discuss the information above, the cards, what the metagame would be, what decks you want to use, what good engines for the game would be, and anything relating to this project in general!
If this project takes off and everybody expresses a lot of genuine interest in it, I'll see what I can do to make it PB-sponsored and be able to have some forums on here to discuss the cards or something.
