Image: Nintendo LifeWelcome, Trainers! It's time to embark on another journey into the wonderful world of Box Art Brawl.Before we head out, however, let's visit the lab and recap what happened last week. It was the DS' River King: Mystic Valley that we put under the microscope and, surprising nobody, the awful European variant came dead last. Things were pretty close up the top, though, with North America taking 46% of the vote and Japan claiming 41%. Well played, NA!After a healthy dose of Pokmon content this week, we thought it was only right to keep the creature catching going. This time, we're looking at Pokmon Trading Card Game for the Game Boy Color. Originally released in 1998, this RPG swapped the video games' usual turn-based battling for the rules of the card game and, for the TCG fans out there, it works really rather well!Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube797kWatch on YouTube There are just two covers to choose between this week, with the North American and European designs facing off against Japan. Let's catch 'em both! A rare source of fun or just an uncommon?Legends Z-A! Champions! TCG Sets!Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let's check out the box art designs themselves.North America / EuropeNow this is a classic, no? Sure, a lot of the design is taken up by that promise of the limited edition card inside, but if you've ever looked at the back of a Pokmon card, that central Pok Ball is an iconic. The design mirrors the card back pretty faithfully (the ball opening upside down and all), and we like the small energy icons thrown in there for good measure.JapanThe Japanese design is a lot... uhh... shinier. Rather than mimicking the back of a trading card, this variant has an actual card on it, boasting the cool off-white Pok Ball design that used to adorn the rear of Japanese trading cards. The energy symbols are a lot more prominent in this one, though we're not quite sure why there's a giant shining 'Pocket Monsters Trading Card Game' symbol in the middle. It kinda feels like it dominates the composition a little, no?Which region got the best Pokmon Trading Card Game box art? (69 votes)North America / Europe67%Japan33%Thanks for voting!
