I freaked out when I found out Pokémon duel was THIS

Are you telling me that pale white abra I got when I was 5 which I broke the same day I got it was actually rare as hell??

The funny part about the spinner luck is that a caterpie can beat a rayquaza if rayquaza hits that red space lol.

Huh. Ya think this was remade into Pokemon Duel? What an *original idea!* No, that's impossible. I haven't seen a * single comment* about that...

forgotton until January 24, 2017.

It was good that they adapted this into pokemon duel witch wouldn't be as expensive to make

99.7% comments are Pokémon duel 0.2% other

These figures are sick as heck. I'd collect these instead of cards....

You spin me right 'round baby, right 'round. Like a record player right 'round!! Couldn't resist. :)

they should bring these back as actual figures without the spinning

So this is pokemon duel but in real life

It's like the app Pokémon Duel

OMG THIS IS WHAT POKEMON DUEL IS BASED FROM

I came back to this video for a reason. Pokemon Duel. But seriously, it's been 2 years that I knew about this.

Pokemon Duel: *Exists* Pokemon TFG: Am I a joke to you? Also Pokemon Duel: *Is going to end in 2020*

They could have opted for a single die (a 6- or 8-sided die would have worked) created for each Pokémon with the same probability for attacks, misses, etc. as the spinners. That would have satisfied the figure collectors, but kept them applicable for gameplay. I would have loved it.

Just so you know, this was revived in the app Pokémon Duel.

Wow I never knew about this game. Wish I would've gotten some of the figures. I bet they are hella expensive now online :(

Pokemon duel is shutting down and I'm here watching this video all sad as history repeats itself...

Time to 3D-print the unmade sets.

I had no clue this was even a thing, but now I want to play out really badly. This could make for a good Wii U game if you think about it too. Like amiibo could be used as figures to play with or something. I dunno, just a thought

So Pokémon duel before Pokémon on mobile

I like how almost every comment says how it inspired Pokémon Duel.

"Dungeons and Dragons miniatures: Canceled in 2010" welp, looks like everything in my local game store is counterfeit then

There is now a mobile version of this H u h

They should re-release this. It sounds awesome! I'd play it. I mean, I collect the cards (And once played it against myself...), and this'd be awesome. Like, they could make blind packs similar to the card booster pack that contains 2 figures and a pack of cards, or just card packs themselves. They could sell 2 board (Or mat, doesn't bother me) types; one for more casual play, and one for competitive play. The attack rings could be customizable with different attacks, and instead of luck based spins, each player took turns using the attacks on the base until one of the Pokémon was knocked out. The rings would just show what attacks that Pokémon had. The attacks on the ring could just pop out, and be interchanged with the other figures.They could be traded, as the name would suggest, along with the cards and attacks. The cards could be played in battle to either help your figures, like Potion or Defender, and some could work against your opponent, like putting the Pokémon to sleep or confusing it. The figures could be used for playing the game, or just collecting, like many do with Pokémon cards. Themed boosters could be released, similar to Steam Siege with the card booster packs. Several different attack rings could be kept, and the figures could be removed from its ring and put on another, so you wouldn't have to get out the attacks and put new ones in. I mean, the figures would come with a set attack ring so they can attack when the game is played. I am out of ideas now, so you are blessed in this way. I barfed out way too many ideas then intended. But it does sound like a good idea, right???

Pokémon Duel: Figures Reborn

I saw this video about a month ago and now I am on a full on hunt for these figures. I have about 20 now, most of which from the 3rd set. I love how random the pokemon choices and unique the sculps are!

The new app Pokemon duel is just a remake of this lol I had to rewatch it to make sure, but it totally is

THEY NEED TO BRING THIS BACK D:

They brought it back it's now called Pokemon duel

R.I.P Pokemon duel you will always spin in our hearts

Imagine a modern Pokemon figure game like skylanders.

Nooo Psyduck was one of the cancelled characters! D:

"Warhammer can be up to 100$ per side" You gotta up those numbers. Those are rookie numbers.

Well actually my friend in 7th grade sold me like 6 of these for like a dollar each! So I gladly bought all of them and they're displayed in my shelf until now.

Daaaaaaamn, and they had Natsume/Sabrina

Okay. They look fun but true, it's expensive. I want someone to make an online version. no rigged spinning, no costs of expensive figures, ALL THE FUN

Watching this in 2019 and just realized this is nearly identical to Pokémon Duel

Welp, with all the “Pokémon duel’ comments, I can officially say that this comment section has not aged well, and that we’re back to square one on playing the TFG

Bring these back with amiibo functionality(while not actually being apart of the amiibo line), drop the spinner gimmick, keep the awesome quality of the figures and build either a new and fun figures game to get in on what is now a nearly empty market or a skylanders-like game around them. I think this could sell. People go completely bananas over amiibos. Give people special edition figures of Misty, Red and Cynthia and they'll go ape.

These figures are actually well sculpted and still look fresh and new today. I never knew about these till now. In my opinion it seems like a fun game, although what if they incorporated these figures to the Pokemon Rumble series. Think about it, if they were used in Rumble U or Rumble World (since the 3DS can now can read amiibo figures) it would've made the game more interesting and probably great marketing. But that's just my opinion. :D Thanks Jwittz for showing us fans some lost Pokemon History.

7:11 instead they should have encouraged people to practice spins. That could have been part of the technique to play the game.

Oh, so that's where pokemon duel came from...

Imagine this Pokemon wiiu Every Pokemon has an amiibo, some more rare than others, like legends This game would be like the coliseum and gale of darkness games but with custom character options The amiibos would be your Pokemon in the game, so you'd have to buy them in order to progress, the game would come with a card for a free one of your choosing however, it would be limited to starters only plus pikachu and eevee. Also blind bag Pokemon amiibos as a cheaper cost and a lower quality, causing kids to do what they do with the cards, trade them This would also mean randomized stats with every tap, so say you want to try and get a better nature, reset that game and slap that charmander back on until you get the one you want and save it. Also this data would be saved to the amiibo and could be taken to a friends house for multiplayer battles. This would also mean that maybe an amiibo that worked similar to a memory card would be used to have your trainer in your friends game, maybe it looks like a generic female or male figure or just a trailer card The blind bags would be cheaper but also less quality than the pikachu figure for smash And similar to how there was limited edition ones, there could be shinys too Since it's a blind bag you could feel that you may have gotten a Latios but you pull it out and it's a shiny! Whattttttt Weirdo idea that I just got at 2am thought I'd share it

If Bakugan can have a tournament scene, I don't really see how this couldn't considering the things never opened and, if you missed when rolling the thing out, your turn ended.

Wow, some of these figures are insanely beautiful. I wish Pokemon Duel would rely a little less on in-app purchases, it was great fun for a while. It's just too much gatcha.

oh my god theres an android version of this i was a part of the beta for and completely forgot about its called "pokemom duel"

They made a game of this! It's called Pokemon duel search it up its the exact same

This game is actually available on the app store and it is free. Ot has the golden moves and everything. The game is really pretty and super fun check it out.

Had to do a double take but that Rayquaza TFG pic is from my collection website! that's awesome glad I could help the video lol

I love how it says, "Game: Skylanders Swap Force" in the description.

Pokemon duel is literally this game. Now I want to collect these figures. WAS THIS NINTENDO'S PLAN ALL ALONG!?

Still faster than Brawl

It's 2020 now and I still have the Charizard and Treecko figures from the first set that came with Red. They broke off of the spinners years ago, but they still look great. Definitely better than a lot of the Pokemon Minifigures from earlier in the games' span, but those ones still hold a special place as well.

they made this a mobile game pokemon duel

they brought the pokemon TFG back as a Mobil app today

I'm realizing that Pokémon Duel is literally this game, just in mobile format.

And now we have Pokémon duel and it's literally the exact same game except it's digital so you can lv up and don't pay for fig packs

All they need is a seperate spin base for the current MonColle figures and this might go on

Someone should start a petition to bring these back.

They have an app called Pokémon duel that's the same thing

I remember those. And I still have my Heroclixs. Great video.

RIP pokemon duel we will miss you

When a pointless 40k mention is made, Alfabusa is near to make an equally as pointless comment.

Is it just me, or do the poses and quality on these seem better than what they're doing for amiibo.

I somehow got one of these out of the box in some vintage toy store. it was heracross and I still have it this day looking cool

Me:Wait the TFG... My brain:the f***ing game Me:wow.

omg this is a mobile game! I had no idea that this was a physical game! It's called Pokemon duel.

Holy... So the crystal figures are rare?! I opened two of the Random eggs, and got 2 Crystal Charizards in a row around 8 years ago. The exact ones in that picture. Not knowing what the figures were actually for, I've kept them simply among all my old pokemon things. Would these figures be worth anything if I sold them?

There is another Pokèmon game, that a lot of people don't know about. I briefly mentioned it, in my Pokècollection video. It's the Pokèmon, flip the chip game. During the time of Pokèmon Gold and Silver, there were a lot of chips, that came with Pokèmon figures, Trainers and all. Each chip had up to 3 stars, (which were the highest amount), and some, had a low as, 1 star (which was the lowest). They also had some Pokèflippers, to flip the chips with, hensing the name, of the game. You and your opponent, would place the Pokèmon chip down, with one star facing up. You can either flip at the same time, or one at a time. The one with the highest stars would win. You can also put extra chip, on the top of your flipper, as your secondary Pokèmon. The game rarely caught on to the public, and was discontinued, just before Generation 3. If you have these flippers in your home, then you have a rare and valuable game, that very few Pokèmon collectors have.

JUST BECAUSE my favorite hobby from my teen years was mentioned in this video (and a hobby most people aren't familiar with), I'd like to provide some information from someone who followed Star Wars Miniatures closely. Star Wars Miniatures was not cancelled because of a decline in the miniatures hobby overall. The game was owned and ran by Wizards of the Coast, who originally purchased the license around 2000. The previous holder of the license, Decipher, used it to publish a collectible card game. Wizards' primary reason for purchasing the license was simply to keep it out of the hands of a different company, for fear of a competitor for Magic. In spite of Star Wars' popularity, Wizards was not very interested in capturing the market of tabletop gamer Star Wars fans, and the games they produced were mere excuses to hold on to the license. They never devoted a lot of development resources to their Star Wars RPG and miniatures game products, yet the staff they had working on them still managed to turn out pretty good products that a lot of nerds (like me) bought and played. In 2010, their license expired and they simply chose not to renew the (inevitably expensive) license; my guess is at that point they were confident no Star Wars card game would detract from the Magic the Gathering market. Fantasy Flight Games, a devoted RPG/miniatures game producer, purchased the license that same year, and have since been churning out RPG and miniatures games in much higher quantity AND quality than Wizards of the Coast ever did. As sad as I was to see the game I was so heavily invested in end, I have to say overall it was for the better. FFG's RPG system is much more creative and fluid than Wizards', and each of their miniatures games (X-Wing, Imperial Assault, Armada, and Legion) have much more detailed figures than the ones Wizards produced. Today, 'Star Wars' minatures (not 'Star Wars Miniatures') is alive and well, selling tons of product and being played by a large number of players.

Maybe nintnedo could release a wiiu/3ds version and you would use the touchscreen to spin your figure?

I just want these gorgeous figures.

I’m glad Pokemon brought this game back in the form of Pokémon Duel

i wish i had known this before pokemon duel came out. I LOVE pokemon duel, and would have loved this.

the mobile version was lit

OOOOOHHHH i remember these. I had the Chimchar one. I lost the base though so now it just has a little stump on its foot lol.

I wish they had done more with the TFG, as I remember playing the Demos of this on my PC, and I had much more fun. I am glad Pokemon Duel brought this idea back into play.

I realized that when I was 4 I had these, but I`m pretty sure they are ripped apart now.

Nintendo should plan a Pokemon TFG game for the Wii U that uses Amiibos where you can collect the figures, can store up to six figures on a team at a time. If you put a seventh Pokemon on the game pad, you have to choose another Pokemon to replace it with so you can't just download the Pokemon, and sell it on ebay to get an easy dollar. Then you can use use that team to play against other players either on an offline campaign to practice or level up your figure; or you can play online against other players with their traded figurines.

I remember seeing these at the back of a Pokemon World magazine like 8 years ago or something. Looked awesome, but the only place I ever saw them sold was at an airport in Germany.

Wow. Now I have to see if you did a follow up when Duel was released. Kinda hope they do Pokemon Amiibo now. Those figures are super cool.

I remember seeing the unreleased sets at Comic Con years ago as a kid.

Why is misty wearing the exact same suit as Zero Suit Samus? Coincidence *_ITHINKNOT_*

Wait, this is Pokémon duel.

Chadtronic actually got a rare starter set from series 2

i had a full deck back then it was typically the school’s gambling addiction... still have the figures but some of them wont spin anymore, luckily pokemon duel exists so me and my friends are absolutely mad lads at these games

Duel duel duel We get it people! I loved these figures, and I got a good chunk of the original run. Would love to track down the harder to obtain figures.

the 6v6 IS Pokemon duel

For some reason of the third generation Pokemon trading figures is hella common in 2020 but the first and second generation are really rare

this video came before pokemon duel so don't ask why it wasn't mentioned

They should re release these, they are really nice looking. I want Houndoom and Xantu

Watching this again after I got into wargaming (including Warhammer). Honestly back when I was a kid I probably would find this game cool but now that I’m older I feel as though Pokémon wouldn’t really work that well as a TFG or a wargame, BUT seeing an old FE commercial where they had figures of FE classes that people picked up and moved I think if they made a Fire Emblem wargame (or TFG) it would work so much better and I now want that)

I had this game back in the day

Now Pokemon Duel exist which is quite like the Pokemon TFG and even the figures in Duel look like the ones in TFG.

lol i have some figures from the first set in my house idk why probably my older brother got them as a kid, tho they re mostly broken

Oh so this is Pokémon duel Even though everyone is saying that

I remember getting the groudon one from a darkrai Lv.X tin way back in the day and having no idea what it was for but just glad I got a cool groudon figure. I’m sad to know that there was an entire game with many more figures and ultimately canceled

Have you heard of the Pokémon Battling Coin Game? They were released in CD cases and only had the first generation of Pokémon. Both players would have a team of Pokémon and pick one of their Pokémon and spin their coin, the highest damage would win the fight
