    I got a Pocket monsters card and I need help translating it. I know my kana, but not enough kanji.

    あなたの場にいるポケモンを一匹選ぶ。コインを2枚投げ、「おもて」の数X2のダメージカウンターを、そのポケモンからとりのぞく。

    ありがとうごあざいます。

    Choose a Pokemon that’s in front of you. Toss two coins – for each that comes up heads, remove two damage counters from that Pokemon.

    Kanji used:
    あなたの場 = あなたのば = “your place”, which I’ve elected to translate as “in front of you”
    一匹 = いっぴき = “one animal” – 匹 (ひき) is the counter for small animals
    選ぶ = えらぶ = “choose”
    2枚 = にまい = “two [coins]” – 枚 is the counter for flat things
    投げ= 投げ = “throw” – this is the written equivalent of the て-form
    「おもて」の数 = 「おもて」のすう = “number of ‘heads’ ”

    Suggest you find yourself a good kanji dictionary – it’ll let you look things up. I’ve got imiwa? on my iPhone and iPad, though I’ve also got Spahn and Hadamitzky’s Learner’s Kanji Dictionary (it’s the slightly slimmer version, which has only the Joyo kanji).
