The Pokémon Trading Figure Game is scheduled for release in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia in fall 2006, and in America and Japan in 2007. The two-player game is played with collectable Pokémon Trading Figures made by Kaiyodo. More than 40 figures will be available at the initial launch.

Starter sets
Both starter sets, Flamethrower and Riptide, are planned to include three Pokémon figures with bases, one Pokémon trainer figure with base, a two-sided playmat with a green 6-on-6 arena on one side and an orange 3-on-3 quick start arena on the other, a two-sided collector's sheet with a how-to-play guide on one side and a figure checklist on the other, a rulebook, and three trainer cards.
Booster packs
Booster packs are planned to contain two random Pokémon figures without bases. There are four tentative packaging designs, featuring Pikachu, Charizard, Groudon, and Feraligatr.

Pokémon
- Charizard
- Pikachu

- Groudon is also likely to become a Pokémon Trading Figure, since it appears on one of the booster pack designs.

Mechanics
The objective of the game is to be the first to land on one's opponent's Goal space on the playmat. To do this, players move Pokémon figures around on the playmat itself, although how this is managed is as of yet unclear. Besides the Goal space, the playmat tentatively has a Pokémon Center space, a bench, and a battlefield.
Bases
Pokémon figures can be removed from their bases. The exact purpose of this is as of yet unknown, but it could be to allow evolution or simply to switch between black and white bases so the two players' Pokémon can be distinguished.
Spinning
Each figure has a spinning mechanism and a number of colored areas it can land on. Both players will spin Pokémon and they will have a battle. Blue beats all and the Pokémon dodges. Purple beats White and any Purples with fewer stars, and gives the player's Pokémon special effects. White beats weaker Whites, and will knock the opposing Pokémon out, forcing it to move to the Pokémon Center space. Red is a miss and loses to everything else. Any ties result in nothing happening.
Trainer cards
The purpose of these are as of yet unknown. They are not expected to be the same cards from the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
