Prove me wrong.

It is a simulated Trading Card Game and not an RPG. Yugioh or Duel Masters or whatever are also no RPGs. At least I don't know any game of them which is an RPG.

Eh, it's debatable. The World Championship style ones don't count, but games like the Pokemon CCG for Gameboy or Yugioh Spirit Caller do have their own stories and progression systems, so you can definitely make an argument that they're RPGs.

Except that's just a minimum of what an RPG has. Every single thing would be an RPG then. Story does not automatically make an RPG and every game with a story or even many games without a story have a progression system. Having some RPG elements does not immediately define something as an RPG. I also don't say some sports games are RPGs just because you can train stats and reach a goal or that Catherine is an RPG because it has a story, even character development, which is important and you need to find out ways to progress. So it is not an RPG.

Pokemon CCG is sooo broken though. Just load a deck with Charmander, it's evolutions, and a ton of Fire Energy, with a couple potions. You'll keep reshuffling until you get a Charmander on your first turn, and then the enemy is just toast.

No one would play Charizard like this if you mean the Classic Edtion one but with Double Energy which is burnt and used for a quick move, before it needs Fire energy - in case there is enough time for a "before", but then it does need them any longer. And against a quick-efficient deck even that des not help. I have a deck with only 12 Pokémon and this one is only about quick and efficient moves. The winning chance is very high, I even had it in the real TCG.
