As for the Pokemon card game similarities, I'm totally at a loss to tell you how it works. All the cards have a blue back (top left), but the second one (with Junior) had a red back. There are a bunch of facts and figures on the card. The set does come with a small 79-page(!) rule book, but it's all in Japanese.

Jim Cirronella told me: "The 'Legends of Godzilla' is a trading card game similar to 'Magic,' excepting of course that the game incorporates monsters, hardware and locations from the Toho sci-fi universe. There are 300 cards in the regular set, as well as a 145-card expansion set released earlier this year. The starter decks include 60 cards and are the only means of obtaining the 'attack' card sub-set. There are also 15-card booster packs available for both the regular and expansion sets."

By the way, Squirtle, the Pokemon on the left means "Squirrel-turtle". Some may say it means "squirting-turtle", but they are ignoring the tail. Besides, that's what Dulce says and it's her card.
