Upon login into [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] for the first several sessions, players are welcomed to the [[Game Store]] by [[Zach]] and [[Ella]], who then lead them through a series of in-game tutorials. After completing the first two tutorials, players are presented with two full {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Match|matchs}} first against Zach and then a random computer-controlled Trainer from the {{DL|Pokémon Trading Card Game Online|Trainer Challenge}}. If players ''"Play as a Guest"'', they may repeat but will not advance beyond this stage. Players will, however, be encouraged to create a User Name and Password after each match. Finally, players are directed through the first few matches in the Trainer Challenge's Gold League.
