BoardGameGeek entry

The Pokémon Trading Figure Game (also referred to as the Pokémon TFG) is a collectible miniatures game similar to HeroClix. It is designed by Pokemon USA and based on Satoshi Tajiri's Pokémon media franchise.

It was released in Australia in August 2006, followed by releases in Europe and Southeast Asia later that year. The trading figures will be released to the United States and Japan in 2007. There is speculation that it will have an Organized Play system similar to the Pokémon TCG, but this has yet to be confirmed by any of the companies distributing the game. The first set released is called "Next Quest". The game seems to be played in a luck/strategy format that resembles the boardgame Risk with most actions being controlled by a spin mechanism on the figures. The figures are larger than most other figure games, highly detailed, and meant to introduce this type of game to younger players while holding the interest of older fans of the Pokemon series.

The upcoming 10th anniversary United Kingdom mall tour will feature an introduction of this new Pokemon line.

[edit] Next Quest set

The "Next Quest" set is made up of 42 figures and 8 cards. These pieces are divided into four levels of rarity: white star (extremely rare), black star (rare), black diamond (uncommon) and black circle (common).

Two starter sets are available for this collection, entitled "Flamethrower" and "Riptide". Each starter set contains four figures, as well as the following:

Double-sided play mat (for 3 vs 3 or 6 vs 6 figurine play).
3 trainer cards (Max Revive, X Attack, X Accuracy, or Switch).
A full-color poster of the 42 figurines in the Next Quest set, with checklist boxes for collectors.
A rule book.

There are also four different booster packs available; these do not have individual names but are identified by the four different images on each packaging: Pikachu, Charizard, Groudon, and Feraligatr.
