DO NOT BOTHER - Game is predetermined!!

Do not even think for a moment you’re in control of who wins or loses. The game is predetermined — without a doubt. That is very annoying considering there are basement dwelling players that are really into this game and spend a lot of money on it. And those are the ones who think there is minutely any strategy to winning. It’s actually laughable to think about that!!! The AI knows as soon as you hit “play” who will win. And if the player who is not meant to win is somehow ahead, a key card will be given to the other player to make sure they win. I’ve played well over 7,000 games and it is clear to me it is biased. I would download a solitaire game — it is more likely you will win than Pokeman TCG!!!

Remember playing with Pokémon cards when you were a kid? Well this is exactly that.

I have loved the TCG since i was a kid even though i stopped collecting for awhile, finding this game almost a year ago reignited that passion and taught me I’ve been playing the game wrong since I was a child.

I feel there should be a way to earn more packs in game even if it means paying real currency (if the option exists I’ve over looked it) but thats literally my only complaint.

Best way to learn how to play and it’s free!

I am an adult learning about Pokémon for my 6 year old. I created an account and have been learning step by step for free no strings attached. For other adults and kids this is a significant factor in choosing the right apps for fun screen time. Not only is it teaching strategy but some math on the fly too. I also like that the Pokémon stuff you buy in the store comes with online codes you redeem for free to help your game. I am still new but I am beginning to understand the fascination with Pokémon and a great way to play a card game I can enjoy with my kiddo.

Please don’t ever change the free part it’s much better than many other apps because it is free.

no balance no matchmaking

You will have a stage 1 pokemon with a couple energy able to do maybe 30 damage while having around 90 health by turn 2 or so. Your opponent will have 3 pokemon all with horribly ugly and multicolored artwork and 200 to 300 health and with one of them ready to hit you for 100 damage by turn 2.

You will be thrown into the deep end right off the bat against players with all the rarest cards while you have nothing.

99% of the cards are useless because everyone uses ex cards which take only a fraction of the effort to set up and have tons more health and damage compared to standard cards. For a card game, having so many interesting cards be utterly useless due to powercreep is a travesty.

There were cards that countered ex cards and could bring some semblance of reasonable gameplay back to the game, but now there’s gx cards, V cards, tag team cards, all basically the exact same thing as ex cards but with bigger damage and health numbers for no reason, with even more brightly colored ugly artwork, and since they technically aren’t ex cards, the cards that counter ex cards do nothing at all anymore.

It is not a fair or balanced game, plain and simple.
