The player begins their adventure at [[Mason Laboratory]], where [[Dr. Mason]] gives the player the choice of taking along one of three different Pokémon Trading Card Game decks: {{TCG|Charmander & Friends Deck|Charmander & Friends}}, {{TCG|Squirtle & Friends Deck|Squirtle & Friends}} or {{TCG|Bulbasaur & Friends Deck|Bulbasaur & Friends}}.

The [[player character]], {{GB||Mark}}, has an ambition of becoming the world's greatest Pokémon Trading Card Game player, but his rival, [[Ronald]], has a similar goal. Ronald duels the player at certain points in the game to test the player's cards; being defeated by Ronald is an indication for the player to improve his or her deck, whereas victory results in the player receiving a {{OBP|Promotional Card|GB1}}.

The object of the game is to defeat eight [[Club Master]]s (comparable to the [[Gym Leader]]s), earn their [[Master Medal]]s (comparable to [[Badge]]s), and then defeat four [[Grand Master]]s (comparable to the [[Elite Four]]) and the {{pkmn|Champion}}. The Club Masters' decks correspond to the {{TCG|type}}s of Trading Card Game cards; however, because there are eight Club Masters but only seven distinct types in the game, two of the types are repeated: {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Grass}}, split in the form of a "Rock" and a "Poison" user, respectively.

The game contains pre-recorded data on all 228 cards featured (including Lv15 {{TCG ID|GB|Mew|1}} and Lv64 {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Venusaur|13}}). Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player through normal gameplay; [[Card Pop!]] must occur between players in order to complete their album without the use of cheats, as this is the only way to obtain the aforementioned Mew and Venusaur cards.

Cards can be obtained through booster packs from four expansion sets including {{GB|1|Colosseum}}, {{GB|1|Evolution}}, {{GB|1|Mystery}}, and {{GB|1|Laboratory}}, or by defeating specific challengers (for example, each defeat of the Grand Masters will award the player with a set of legendary {{TCG ID|GB|Moltres|1}}, {{TCG ID|GB|Zapdos|1}}, {{TCG ID|GB|Articuno|1}}, and {{TCG ID|GB|Dragonite|1}} cards). Among the aforementioned four expansion sets is a fifth set, the {{GB|1|Promotional Card}} set. However these cards can only be attained by defeating players such as [[Ronald]], [[Tomoaki Imakuni|Imakuni?]], and the [[Grand Master]]s, defeating three [[Challenge Hall]] opponents in a row, trading with [[Ishihara]], and [[Card Pop!|Card Popping]].
