Did/do you ever play this, either the original or on 3DS Virtual Console? If you play the TCG, how does it compare? Would you like a new version?
I've never gotten into the TCG but I do like the idea a lot. I've tried playing the TCG Online but it's too much for my iPad to handle. I did play the GBC game but never completed it and play it from time to time on VC but am still yet to complete it. That said, I do think it's a great game, I love the places you visit and the NPCs and the adventure you're on! It is a shame that you can't trade on VC though.
I would absolutely love a new version for 3DS that incorporated StreetPass, SpotPass and trading! It would be a great way to get the TCG experience but keep things all in one place, be considerably cheaper and have the extra fun of being incorporated into a game story! I won't hold my breath though, I've a strong feeling that they won't release a sequel as the TCG ecosystem is so vast and I would assume profitable!
