Pokémon TCG Online 9+

I want to take the time to rate this app before I put in this new update since I never took the time to do so. This app is absolutely positively amazing. You don’t need to put money to play you can play with people online you can play the computer you can build your deck when booster packs you can buy decks from earning points you can trade with people online and add your own decks and packs from the real world. There’s not much more you can as for. But what I can ask is that I would like an option to communicate with people while playing them online also able to message people if they’re off-line so that they may receive word from us when they return and lastly fix the mis haps with the data not recognizing me. I would have to force close app to re log as myself and not a new user. And option to customize background and background music could be pretty sweet. Other than that great work Pokémon TCG team great job 💯

I really enjoy playing the Pokémon TCG. It’s a game with a lot of thoughtful strategy and is balanced in such a way that for the most part, smart play can help you come back from being behind and can also even out new players with veterans so that there isn’t a horrible barrier to entry. The app is also totally free to play and offers a lot of variation so that you can endlessly play.

But I started getting really irritated with this game within the last 6 months or so. They released two new decks, the Mach Strike and Imperial Command decks. These decks are so overpowered compared to all the decks released. It’s very easy to do essentially one-hit kill damage within three, if not two turns. Occasionally you can come back to win if you get really lucky and if you quite literally play your cards right. But good luck getting to that point, because half of the people I play with use this deck to just grind. They quit out immediately if things start going south, and it drives me up the wall. I love playing a game that goes for a solid 10 minutes and provides a good challenge between two equally matched players, and this has become so few and far between because everyone just uses the same two decks because they’re the best, and no one actually wants a challenge.

I wish Pokémon would change these decks or get rid of them entirely, because they’ve ruined the fun and balance of the game.

This game has a great progression system with the standard starter decks given to you at the start of the game. You gradually get harder AI’s as you play longer, and it really shines for veteran players. I do feel that if you’re new to the TCG scene I wouldn’t recommend this app unless you have a friend who is really good at Pokémon or just trading card games in general.
The only reason why I don’t give this a 5\5 is the interface on the home screen isn’t completely user friendly in that they don’t educate you on what button does what. There is also no redeeming capabilities for card packs on this app game. You have to literally go on your computer or be taken to safari on the website to redeem your deck and cards.
In the end if your a die hard fan and knowledgeable of the Pokémon game it gives you plenty of reward systems to be able to purchase more cards. Once you get on that grind train of achieving rewards it feels so satisfying buying the packs. After you buy the packs there is multiple game modes that allows you to thrive as a player. Personally I am not really good at deck building, but that’s ok Pokémon TCG provides you the tools so that you can be able to focus on the game rather than the frustration of deck building. I especially like the themed deck game mode that is what sold me.
