  • Celebrate the passion and depth of the Pokémon Trading Card Game community with “How Do You Play” a new three-part documentary series that focuses on three unique stories from the Pokémon TCG fandom.
    Throughout the episodes, you’ll meet a teacher who discovered a way to bond with her students through the Pokémon TCG, a longtime Pokémon fan who turned his childhood love for the Pokémon TCG into a profession and a way to give back to a new generation of Trainers, and a family that has found connection and competition as they support their son and his dream of taking part in the Pokémon World Championships. Each episode helps demonstrate that the Pokémon TCG community is a place where anyone and everyone can play as they want.

    This is so emotional. I am literally in tears. Gifting Pokémon cards to young kids for free even he and his family doesn’t have that much and sharing his love for Pokémon with young kids to make them happy is incredible. I want to have a career involving Pokémon even though my parents think it’s not a career. I just want to make kids happy and make them smile by sharing my love of Pokémon with them.

    The kid at 6:02 is going to grow up and remember the kind man who just casually gave him a $100 Charizard card. I hope that kid takes good care of it. This video was so heart-warming, makes me glad that I've decided to join the hobby. Starting collecting more in 2020, and ever since I've accumulated quite an awesome personal collection that I will cherish till the end of time.

    Wow this was an amazing video and seeing the kids smile was really priceless. Huge respect to Edgar for giving the Shiny Charizard VMAX, don't think I didn't see it hahaha. Actually blew my mind giving a high value card for a kid to smile having a card of its favorite Pokémon and I respect that a lot

    Why can't I get a Pokemon documentary? A Pokemon helps give a path to follow and teaches us inclusivity, diversity, and equity. Be kind and help others as you pursue your dreams. I'm 27 nearing 28 in a couple of months, and still love Pokemon to this day since 1997/1998.

      I'm not from America and didn't have the chance to get the card, but my friend was able to get a code for it and then decided to give the card to me

    I can appreciate what this man is doing for these kids because he sparked some sort of kindness in their hearts that they won’t forget.
    I recently got out of the Marine Corps but when I was in I developed a pretty bad smoking habit when I was deployed. I kept this up for about a year and then one day I couldn’t catch my breathe walking up the stairs to my bedroom.
    Along with my mother begging me to stop smoking and me deciding it was time to get my self back on track I decided that every time that I wanted to buy a pack of smokes, I would buy a pack of Pokémon cards.
    My mom would also help me buy packs because she saw that opening the packs made me happy, and it helped me get over whatever I was angry about from the Marine Corps. My girlfriend also helped me and would buy me packs whenever I would get the urge to buy a pack of smokes and she would be just as excited as I was opening them.
    I started doing this about a year ago and today I have well over 1,000 cards (maybe a little less than) and I just won my first tournament with my Charizard VStar deck last week after someone broke into my personal vehicle and stole my Leon Charizard deck that I was learning to play the game with.
    These cards saved my life in the long run and I will never forget that no matter how old I am, no matter how much people make fun of me, or no matter how much weight I put up in the gym, I will always be grateful for the people who helped me along the way just like these kids will.
    I wasn’t planning on crying today, but I did. And I’m glad that it was a Pokémon story that did it.

    This is so sweet is so nice you did this to show small guys who are involved in their little communities and impackt. I remeber when i was little boy in Poland we ddnt had money for cards and I loved to look at all the packs in stores and wondered whats inside. I recently given away special art Gengar to a kiddo at Manchester Card show and he was so happy ... I saw myself again. I love how cards bring people together. This is great series.

      It actually does make sense. Most collectors are adults, and you can charge them retail price. But if a kid comes along once in a while, you can give them a card. The kids don’t care about the value, and would love something cheap and cool for free.

    Hey you know what would be awesome? If the PTCGL worked. See it worked before SV was released. I have a very capable gaming machine. But you guys changed something when SV launched and that killed PTCGL on my computer. And your customer support was worthless. Wouldn't help at all and just said they knew about problems and I should watch social media for further info.
    Well now Paldea Evolved is out, you've patched the game yet again - still nothing!
    I've done everything I can find online - several reinstallations, different internet, mess with settings... everything short of removing my anti-virus and security settings on my internet. Because no other game I've ever played has needed that.
    I love the Pokemon TCG, I've been collecting since Base Set. The original base set! But not everyone can afford to travel to events. So PTCGO was awesome! While it had faults and bugs over the years, it always worked! I could hop on and play whenever I wanted!
    But PTCGL? It worked for about 3 weeks prior to the release of SV and then broke and no one from the company seems able or willing to help.
    I have a Nvidia 2060 super, 32gb of ram, a Ryzen series 8 core processor. I can streak 4K video, and play almost any game in high settings at 1080p 60FPS.
    PTCGL wont even get to the LOG IN SCREEN!
