Card Pop!: Difference between revisions
Editing wording a bit.
(Added a note about lack of in-built IR on the TCG 2 cartridge. I have a copy of the game and the cartridge's PCB does not include an IR transmitter + receiver like the JP version of the TCG 1 cartridge has.) |

'''Card Pop!''' (Japanese: '''カードポン！''' ''Card Pon!'') is a multiplayer feature in the video games {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]] | '''Card Pop!''' (Japanese: '''カードポン！''' ''Card Pon!'') is a multiplayer feature in the video games {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. This can be used to briefly connect two games using infrared technology, causing each game to receive a random card. | ||
==Hardware== | |||
In the Japanese version of {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game|the first game}}, the Card Pop! feature uses the built-in infrared technology included in the cartridge itself. In the American and European versions of this game, as well as in the [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!|second game]] (only released in Japan), the infrared communications port of the [[Game Boy Color]] is used instead for this feature. | |||
==Overview== | |||
When two games are connected via infrared, each player will receive a random card. A player cannot Card Pop! with the same partner save file again until both players have used the feature with fifteen others, causing their partner's ID is overwritten in both save files. If the save file is deleted, all Card Pop! data is deleted, so whether a new save file can Card Pop! with another game's save file is unaffected by the players the previous save file performed Card Pop! with. | When two games are connected via infrared, each player will receive a random card.
