The objective of the game is to be the first to land on one's opponent's Goal space on the playmat. To do this, players move Pokémon figures around on the playmat itself. Each turn, a Pokémon can move from one adjacent spot to another as many times as it has [[Move Point]]s (MP). Besides the Goal space, the playmat tentatively has a [[Pokémon Center]] space, a bench, and a battlefield. Pokémon start on the bench, and move to the Battlefield. If they lose a battle, they go to the Pokémon Center spot. They do not return to the bench until another Pokémon is sent to the Pokémon Center. | The objective of the game is to be the first to land on one's opponent's Goal space on the playmat.

These are not the same | These are not the same {{tcg|Trainer card}}s from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], though there are some similarities in their design. These are used with Trainer figures, which are spun to make sure the Trainer card works, to enact various effects in the battle. These cards were released in English, Italian, German, and French. | ||
