A caller reads the clue card while players race to collect the matching picture card. Each pair is filed by its opening kana in gojūon order.
Each checklist tile keeps two separate upload wells: the larger left well is the reading card (読札), and the right well is the matching picture card (絵札).
This page documents all 45 Original / Kanto pairs. English Pokémon names and a short English clue stay visible; the full Japanese verse is preserved in the research record without crowding every tile.
