The new Pokemon Trading Figure Game lets you collect and battle with awesome Pokemon figures! We review it right here.

The Pokemon Trading Figure Game is the next big thing for Pokemon fans! It's a Pokemon board game where you collect plastic Pokemon figures and battle with your friends! Each player builds a team of six Pokemon, a Pokemon Trainer and three Trainer Cards to try and get a Pokemon across the battle arena to their opponent's goal. When two Pokemon meet, they battle by spinning! Each Pokemon is on a spinning base with a bunch of different attacks on it. You give them a spin and compare attacks to see who wins. Here's the 411 on the attacks:

White: Basic attacks - the strongest one wins and KOs the other Pokemon.

Purple: Special attacks - they always beat white attacks and compare stars to see which purple attack wins. Purple attacks do strange things if you win.

Blue: Defensive moves - they beat every attack, but they don't do anything.

Orange: These are a miss and they mean you lose, unless your opponent spins blue or orange!

The Pokemon Trading Figure Game is a board game that lets you battle with awesome Pokemon figures and cards!

There are 38 Pokemon to collect, eight Trainer Cards and four Pokemon Trainers too - the Trainers let you spin them to play one of your three cards to power-up your Pokemon, but if they miss it's the end of your turn!

The figures look terrific, the game is fun to play and the Pokemon are balanced so you can use any Pokemon you want and still be able to win - even Pikachu vs. Groudon! Unfortunately, some figures are fragile and a few don't spin well. Those are the only things wrong with this fantastic Pokemon game!
