I would like to claim this game for achievements ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I've gotten started with some basic story progression achievements. I'll post my list of intended achievements so far, later.

Here is a work-in-progress list of potential achievements.

By comparison, original game has 37 achievements, worth 425 points.

-Story Progression Coins
1. GR Coin
2. Grass Coin
3. Fire Coin
4. Water Coin
5. Lightning Coin
6. Psychic Coin
7. Fighting Coin
8. GR Grass Coin
9. GR Thunder Coin
10. GR Fire Coin
11. GR Water Coin
12. GR Fighting Coin
13. GR Psychic Coin
14. GR Colorless Coin
15. GR King Coin
Note: These coins are all unlocked automatically as the story progresses.

-Optional Coins
16. Ponyta Coin [Win 10 times in the Challenge Cup]
17. Horsea Coin [Win 10 times in the Rocket Challenge Cup]
18. Jigglypuff Coin [Buy for 500 chips at the Game Center]
19. Dugtrio Coin [50 consecutive wins at the machine in Dr. Mason's lab]
20. Gengar Coin [50 consecutive wins at the machine in the GR Island Challenge Hall]
Note1: The Arbok, Raichu, and Lugia coins require the link feature to obtain; therefore, these are omitted from the achievement set.
Note2: These coins all take a bit of time to unlock, i.e., you must "grind" for them.

-Optional/Unique Battles
21. Defeat Ishihara
22. Defeat Imakuni? [Black]
23. Defeat Imakuni? [Red]
24. Defeat Pawn/Knight/Bishop/Rook/Queen
25. Sealed Fort Battles (9 Opponents)
Note1: Perhaps make reference to Ishihara probably referring to the Pokemon CEO of the same name. And reference to Imakuni? having a real-life counterpart.
Note2: What about the Grand Masters? Supposedly, you need to use the link feature to participate in the Pokemon Dome tournament?
Note3: Maybe include Aaron, and completing the 4 Steps of his Training

-Completion
26. Complete the Album
Note: Need to check which cards, if any, require link feature to obtain. Also to check which cards, if any, are permanently missable (check challenge cup prizes)

-Other
27. Achievements for defeating Ronald as part of the story
28. Achievements for Participating in the Challenge Cups during the course of the story
29. Achievements for making various card trades with NPCs

Figured I could/should update the forum post to say that the set is live. I do hope everyone enjoys the set!

Two cards are only available through the Card Pop! feature, which requires linking: "Lugia" and "Here Comes Team Rocket!". Also, there are three coins that also require linking to obtain. As such, obtaining these cards and coins is not part of the set. The coins are the following:
Arbok Coin: Awarded for winning the Pokemon Dome Tournament.
Raichu Coin: 50 wins in link matches.
Lugia Coin: 100 wins in link matches.

Thank you for listing the missables in such a clear fashion, too often on this site those are overlooked/ignored.

@StingX2 Yeah casinos in Pokemon games are mostly frustrating in my experience lol. The best way to earn coins in TCG2 is definitely the coin flip combo game.

@TonyStarc For sure! I know how it feels to get into a game and discover that there was a missable way back that you already passed over.

This is a great set, thanks to the author. I wish that other games would follow your example of clearly showing which achievements are missable.

I'm really having a hard time on some of the character challenges. The Leave Alex Friendless one is brutal.

I'm not sure if this is the best way of doing this but could this hash be added?
