The '''Pokémon Trading Figure Game''' is a two-{{player}} game played with collectible Pokémon Trading Figures made by [[Kaiyodo]]. It shares some characteristics with other {{wp|collectible miniature games}}, such as {{wp|Mage Knight}} and {{wp|HeroClix}}. It also shares similarities with the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], using similar terminology and the same type and rarity symbols. It was released in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia in fall 2006, and North America and Japan in 2007. | The '''Pokémon Trading Figure Game''' is a two-{{player}} game played with collectible Pokémon Trading Figures made by [[Kaiyodo]].

Following the initial test phase in the European and Australian market, the TFG's American transition was plagued by delays. Coupled with the cost of the figures and an arguable lack of support within the [[Pokémon Organized Play]] program, the TFG was officially discontinued on June 2, 2009 following an announcement by Organized Play director Dave Schwimmer. Only one expansion, {{TFG|Next Quest}} was released, and a second, {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, was announced, but remained unreleased. An {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}} was also set for release in 2009 as stated by [http://go-pokemon.com/ go-pokemon.com], but like Groundbreakers, this also was unreleased. | Following the initial test phase in the European and Australian market, the TFG's American transition was plagued by delays.
