ゲームセンターThe Arcade
Three games you can only play here.
Not because they are locked. Because every one of them runs on Japanese Pokémon data that nobody else has bothered to publish in English: City League results, eight thousand cards of translated text, and a market in dollars.
メタドラフト
Meta Draft
Draft six Pokémon. Score off real City League results.
Fantasy sports for the Japanese tournament meta. Pick six Pokémon under a budget, then score every time one of them shows up in a City League top eight. The Japanese meta runs months ahead of the English one, so the people who play this are reading the future.
Built on City League top-eight results. Nobody has run a fantasy league on a TCG meta before.

Yomi
Read the Japanese card before the clock runs out.
A Japanese attack or ability appears. Four English answers. The clock gets shorter every round and one miss ends the run. Play it twice and you will start recognising kanji you have seen on a hundred cards without ever knowing what they said.
Runs on eight thousand cards of human-checked Japanese to English text. That corpus exists in one place.

The Price Ladder
Two cards. Pick the one worth more. Do not miss.
Real Japanese market prices, in USD, one pair at a time. The pairs start far apart and close in on each other until you are calling a coin flip between two cards worth almost the same. Everyone gets the same fifty pairs each day.
Japanese market prices in English, which is the thing this site exists to publish.
PlayYou do not need an account
Every game is playable in one tap and your scores follow this browser. Sign in and they get claimed onto your handle, so the board shows a name that links to your binder instead of whatever you typed. Nothing is required and nothing is lost.
The scores are real
Your browser never sends a score. It sends the answers it gave, and the server replays them against the questions it issued and does the arithmetic itself. That is more work than trusting a number, and it is the only reason a leaderboard is worth reading.
