As stated in the trailer, two people play their Pokémon cards against each other. The winner is decided by comparing the element of each Pokémon. At the back of each Pokémon card, its respective element is shown, as well as a list of which elements win or lose against it. | ===Main gameplay=== | ||
As stated in the trailer, two people play their Pokémon cards against each other. The trailer implies that one Pokémon from each side is played at a time. However, the Fireproof and Waterproof Pokémon cards (explained below) are an exception; they are not mentioned in the trailer, but the card text indicates that a player can use them together with other Pokémon. | |||

In the trailer, it is also implied that both players should keep their own Pokémon cards hidden in their hands during gameplay, and that they should say "Jo-Kén-Pokémon!" out loud together when they reveal the element of their Pokémon to each other at the same time. | In the trailer, it is also implied that both players should keep their own Pokémon cards hidden in their hands during gameplay, and that they should say "Jo-Kén-Pokémon!" out loud together when they reveal the element of their Pokémon to each other at the same time. | ||
===Fireproof and Waterproof=== | |||
The Fireproof and Waterproof Pokémon cards include a short text explaining that they are supposed to be played alongside another Pokémon (to protect against a Fire or Water opponent, respectively). | |||

It is unclear if a player is allowed to play a Pokémon card (other than Fireproof and Wateproof) together with both a Fireproof and a Waterproof cards on the same turn. | |||
Arguably, it may or may not be possible to simply play a Fireproof card and a Waterproof card together (with no other Pokémon), or two Fireproof cards, or two Waterproof cards, based on their exact wording: ''"play simultaneously with another card"''. | |||
===Winner taking loser's cards=== | |||
In Jo-Kén-Pokémon, there is no known official rule about the winner taking the loser's cards. However, some other {{wp|Tazos|Tazo}}-related games by Elma Chips encouraged people to compete and take each other's collectibles based on the game results. | |||
For instance, although the Pokécard (Portuguese: ''Pokécarta'') is a separate Pokémon-related card game by Elma Chips with its own rules, its game trailer specifically states that the winner takes the loser's cards. | |||
