I love the Pokémon TCG. I don’t have hundreds of dollars to spend on cards so this is a nice way to enjoy the game. I use to play the original app and it was good. Match making was always quick. They had tournaments, trades, but could be very grind heavy and not to mention unlocking coins to get packs took a while. They decided to over haul the app in 2021 with a brand new engine. It looked promising.
I download the app, boot it up and all my old cards are gone. My old strategies and decks are gone. That was disappointing but I was excited to start a new meta from scratch. Your avatar model looks a lot better and I like the customization options. The game isn’t completely pay to win as you unlock gems and use the gems to by packs or pay for a season pass. If you get a season pass you unlock booster packs and rare cards. Each season they give you a new deck and the decks can be pretty good. Match making is quick, it’s easy and enjoyable.
There are two styles of casual which nets you experience and coins which can be used to unlock more customization choices for your avatar as well as cards. Then in competitive mode you can unlock ladder rewards which include cards and exclusive outfits for your avatar.
Downsides are that making friends is very unintuitive and is a feature that you have to dig for to know it exist. There are no tournaments (yet) and I hope they add more features. But aside from that the game is fun. I play periodically through out the day or when I’m bored and it’s fun. Check it out.
