New players of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] are presented with a series of tutorials designed to teach them the basics of game play in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
New players of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] are presented with a series of tutorials designed to teach them the basics of game play in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In the Tutorials, players are welcomed to the [[Game Store]] by [[Professor Holly]], who then leads the player through two exhibition {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|matches}} in order to teach them the basic mechanics. After completing these, players are presented with three matches with computer-controlled Trainers from the {{DL|Pokémon Trading Card Game Online|Trainer Challenge}}.


==Introduction==
When given instructions, bouncing green arrows show players where to click or touch the screen to perform the described action. When no specific instructions are given (usually because the player is expected to repeat an actions already described earlier in the tutorial), clicking on a non-highlighted or game specific portion of the screen will produce a brief description for what you need to do next. Cards to be played are highlighted on a player’s turn.
{{main|Pokémon Trading Card Game Online}}
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 two in-game {{DL|Pokémon Trading Card Game Online|Tutorial Mode}}s in order to teach them the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. After completing the tutorials, players are presented with a full {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Match}} with a random computer-controlled Trainer from the {{DL|Pokémon Trading Card Game Online|Trainer Challenge}}'s ''"Gold League"''. If players ''"Play as a Guest"'', they may repeat but will not advance beyond this stage. Players will, however, be encouraged to create a {{DL|Pokémon Trading Card Game Online|Options|Pokémon Trainer Club}} ''User Name'' and ''Password'' after each match. With a Pokémon Trainer Club account, players are directed through the first few matches in the Trainer Challenge's Gold League.


* In order to help new players learn the mechanics of the game, they are directed through the tutorials and initial {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Match}}es before unlocking all game features. Players already familiar with the game may bypass this directed phase by disabling the ''New User Experience'' under {{DL|Pokémon Trading Card Game Online|Options}}.
Players already familiar with the game may choose to ignore the Tutorials.


''NOTE: For those seeking additional tutorials outside of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] itself, a brief description of {{DL|Pokémon Trading Card Game|How to play}} appears on the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] page. The {{TCG|Appendix:Glossary}} also defines most of the Pokémon Trading Card Game terminology. Finally, there are browser-based [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/play-online/tutorial/ step-by-step TCG tutorials] on [[Pokémon.com]].''
==Current Tutorials==
If the player tries to go out of the first tutorials intended way, Professor Holly will say one of the following:
* Holly – ''"Attack your opponent's Pokémon."''
* Holly – ''"Attack using <attack's name>!"''
* Holly – ''"Let's play <Pokémon's name>."''
* Holly – ''"Let's make a different play."''
The player uses the {{TCG|X & Y - Basic Yellow}} Theme deck during the whole mode.

* <Both players draw only one card.>
* Holly – ''"Let's take a look at a {{TCG|Pokémon}} card. Right click on Eevee to zoom in. By the way, Zach will be helping us."''
* Holly – ''"As you can see, {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Eevee|84}} is a {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Basic}} Pokémon that has 50 {{TCG|Hit Points|HP}} and two {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Attack|attacks}}. Click on the playmat to unzoom Eevee."''

* Holly – ''"To use Smash Kick, Eevee needs one Energy of any {{TCG|type}} {{e|Colorless}}. You played a {{e|Lightning}} Enrgy this turn! Attack with Smash Kick!"''
* Holly – ''"Smash Kick did 10 {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Damage|damage}}! Rattata has 40 HP, so 30 more damage is enough for a {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Knock Out}}. Click anywhere to continue."''
* <Zach's Turn.>
* Holly – ''"Eevee has a stronger attack requires more Energy. Attach another {{e|Lightning}} Energy."''

* Holly – ''"Attack your opponent's Pokémon."''
* <Zach's Turn.>
* Holly – ''"Oh no! Eevee got Knocked Out, and Zach took a Prize Card! Good thing you've got a Pokémon on your Bench! Click anywhere to continue."''
* Holly – ''"One more attack should Knock Out Zach's Meowth, and since he doesn't have any Pokémon on his Bench, you'll win the game!"''
* <Attack and win game.>


===Tutorial===
;Tutorial #2
When given instructions, bouncing green arrows show players where to click or touch the screen to perform the described action. When no specific instructions are given (usually because the player is expected to repeat an actions already described earlier in the tutorial), clicking on a non-highlighted or game specific portion of the screen will produce a brief description for what you need to do next from [[Zach]] or [[Ella]]. Cards that are playable are highlighted in a light blue color on a player’s {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Turn}}. A list of available actions are listed along the lower right side of the screen above the player’s {{DL|Pokémon Trading Card Game Online|Avatar Creator|picture or Avatar}}.
Intro:
* Holly – ''"Good job! My daugter, [[Ella]], is going to help me teach you some more advanced rules."''
Match:
* <Player begins a Two Prize card match.>
* (Ella) – ''"My mom is a good teacher, right?"''
* Holly – ''"Remember, the player who goes first can't attack on their first turn. Make sure to select End Turn when you can't attack."''
* <Ella's Turn.>
* <Continuous Tumble seems to be scripted to not knock out the player's Pokémon.>
* <Your turn, then Ella's Turn.>
* Holly – ''"Make sure you have a Pokémon on your Bench in case your Active Pokémon is Knocked Out!"''
* <You use an attack.>
* Holly – ''"Ella just drew the Stage 1 {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Evolution card|Stage 1 Evolution}} for {{TCG ID|BW Promo|Jigglypuff|65}}. Now she can evolve it into {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Wigglytuff|79}}! Click anywhere to continue."''
* <Wigglytuff knocks out your active Pokémon.>
* Holly – ''"You just drew {{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Raichu|28}}. Now your Pikachu can evolve, too! Drag Raichu onto Pikachu."''
* Holly – ''"Raichu has enough Energy to attack. Attack with Thunder Shock!"''
* <Thunder Shock's coinflip is scripted to always flip tails.>
* Holly – ''"Ella's Wigglytuff is close to being Knocked Out. She can discard two Energy to {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Retreat cost|retreat}} her Wigglytuff. Click anywhere to continue."''
* <Ella's Turn.>
* Holly – ''"Watch out! Raichu took more damage from {{TCG ID|BREAKthrough|Sandshrew|75}}'s attack because it's weak to Fighting-type Pokémon! Cick anywhere to continue."''
* <Holly says the above message even if Sandshrew fails to deal damage.>
* Holly – ''"Now that you know how to retreat and evolve your Pokémon, you're ready to play on your own. Let's see if you can win this game!"''
* <Eventually Win Match>
It is possible for the player to go out of their way to lose the match. Even if they do so, the game advances to Tutorial #3.
After match:
* Holly – ''"Great job! Let's see how you do against other Trainers. Defeat them to earn a booster pack and a powerful {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}}{{tt|*|used to be a Pokémon-EX at release}}! Good luck!"''


* [[Zach]] – ''"You start each game with an {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Active Pokémon}}. Right-click {{p|Oshawott}} for a closer look."''
;Tutorials #3, #4 and #5
* Zach – <"Stage", "Hit Points", and "Attacks" are highlighted> ''"{{p|Oshawott}} is a {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Basic Pokémon}}, which means you can start the game with it. It also has 60 {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hit Points}} and two {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Attack|attacks}} that do {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Damage|damage}}!."''
Players are then presented with other computer-controlled Trainers from the {{DL|Pokémon Trading Card Game Online|Trainer Challenge}} and play against them without assistance.
* Zach – ''"You can attach one {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Energy card|energy}} each {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Turn|turn}}. I’m attaching a {{TCG|Metal Energy}} {{ene|Metal}} to {{p|Eevee}}. Click anywhere to continue."''
* [[Calvin]]: ''"My name is Calvin. Looks like we're up next..."''

* <A Four Prize card match with only 40 cards starts.>
 
* [[Otis]]: ''"I'm Otis. You've made it to the final match. Good luck!"''
* <A regular match starts.>
 
;Revisiting the Tutorials
* Holly – ''"Welcome back! Your next opponent is ready for you. Hit the Play! Button to start."''
If the player had already completed the Tutorials:
* Holly – ''"Welcome back!"''
 
;Finishing the Tutorials
* Holly – ''"Congratulations! Here's your Pokémon-GX. Let's head over to the Collection to open your booster pack."''
