Nah, the game fail real bad on the opening pack animation. I using mid range phone, and the whole game is extremely laggy (same reason I uninstalled Pokemon TCG Live)

Spragels Volkin crossover?! AM I DREAMING? Edit: Everytime I lose to a turn 1 3 heads misty on Articuno EX I feel like throwing my phone at the wall : )

[@notecolt2742]

oh my god my three favorite tcg pocket content creators in one video

[@Arctic_Plasma]

Amazing video Volkin! I used to watch your Star Rail videos and Spragles for Pokemon Unite. So surreal to see you guys collaborating!!!

[@Spidermarv]

Here're things I wanted to be added in game -Ranked Mode -Dark Mode -Spectating -Battle Share -Chat -Ingame Emotes -More premium rewards (rewards are a bit underwhelming for costing $10) Why not add icons or sleeves? I dont expect all of this to be added but im hoping 🤞

[@NickferZev]

What’s Dark Mode? Also, I want trading added as well

[@Spidermarv]

@@NickferZev dark mode like dark background. Also, I didnt put trading because IT IS GUARANTEED that we're getting it.

[@Glamerisx]

lol chat - you trpping. that always causes toxic games. will never happen. play LOL and get back to me

[@Glamerisx]

also opens doors for scam traders, pedophiles and account hackers

[@Spidermarv]

@@Glamerisx I mean chatting with friends not ingame. They have that on Pokemon Unite so I dont see a problem. They can just mute or censor certain words that may be offensive.

[@PlushieMistress]

Feels like a collection simulator with battle as an oversight. Very rng based and multi energy decks feel unplayable bc of that

[@TheNamekianClown]

The overall reception to the game is a bit interesting to me, because when it was announced and promoted all I ever thought of it as and what appealed to me is "it's a game all about card pack opening and collecting dopamine, and you can also battle if you want", yet everyone else seems to be treating it as "it's another tcg battling app, and it's bad because your deck quality is too reliant on random luck of packs". I couldn't care less about battling and will only do so as much as I have to to collect more cards, and the game will interest me less if it focuses on updating battling more than the card packs.

[@charlesfreeze3997]

I too am of the "I just wanna open funny digital packs" gang. I have basically no funds irl, so I cannot join in the tcg scene aside from predatory digital games. So being able to just..open a pack or few a day and just build a collection even if slow is fun to me. I would vastly prefer the pve stuff too but at least there IS some form of pve. This game has a huge potential to work with, but there's still the fear of how it can go wrong, because I've seen so much go wrong in gaming.

[@F0XD1E]

Well it's a good thing they offer both because personally, collecting digital assets means absolutely nothing to me. Deck building and battling/trading is the only reason I was interested in this.

[@nomadicgamer9466]

@@F0XD1E I fall into both of these categories. I need a reason to collect and I need a reason to battle. It makes zero sense to me to collect trading cards for a TCG and ignore the 'game' aspect of it. What they've done with the cards are amazing, of course, but I just hope they don't neglect the battling aspect at all and add more engaging things to that.

[@moonblastx1996]

This game is definitely gonna bang. As someone who's been playing completely F2P, I already own 221 different cards. Let me tell you, it's not pay to win, in fact there's probably not enough incentive to spend, I think they should improve the premium pass and give it another free pack per day so you would get double the free packs daily if you spend that consistent money every month. It would be really good for the game, and it's inexpensive for someone who's interested in playing for a long time

[@F0XD1E]

I suspect once the new packs start coming out as a faster rate the f2p might fall off if you can't keep up at 2 packs a day. Unless they have events for each launch where you get a bunch of packs like you do day 1 of the launch.

[@moonblastx1996]

@@F0XD1E the rate won't be that fast, i'm pretty sure i can keep up just by playing daily

[@F0XD1E]

@@moonblastx1996 I hope so since I'll also be f2p. The new drops will probably be smaller sets than A1 most of the time so it wouldn't take as long to catch up.

[@moonblastx1996]

@@F0XD1E so far it's confirmed 1 mini set coming and then later (only january or february i think) a second big set like genetic apex

[@osoperezoso2608]

Never in my life has someone successfully Mistyd me on turn one. I'm not saying it doesn't exist but based on other people's experiences, I would imagine it doesn't happen a lot. Lastly, about ftp players being bored, I'm ftp and I've built my own decks and they're succeeding. People need to spend time testing and playing and not saying "oh man, I don't have Mewtwo"

[@F0XD1E]

I'm not going to do the full math but the odds of pulling a Misty in your opening hand and hitting 3 are small. Roughly on the order of 1/16 or 12%.

[@Tendosuke]

​@F0XD1E but with the opponents it is much greater, with me I only hit 30% 1 energy only. while the opponents hit 2 or more 80%

[@Tendosuke]

I think the game benefits whoever pays. With better odds. A head or tail from Misty I should hit 50%, but I never hit 50%. And opponent hit 2 or more with great frequency. The same thing is about who starts playing. I always start at a disadvantage, and the opponent with energy first.

[@Tendosuke]

I play 6 games in a row with the disadvantage of not starting with energy, and then I play one with the advantage, and then I play 3 more with the disadvantage again. Not 50%, I need to close the game several times to try to end the manipulated coin

[@F0XD1E]

@@Tendosuke Unlucky coin flips happen, dude. That doesn't mean it's manipulation. You need hundreds of coin flips to really determine if it is a fair coin or not. The starting order isn't entirely advantage and disadvantage. If you go first you don't get energy but you do get the chance to evolve earlier.

[@Memou22]

It really makes sense that on release the game is focused solely on the collection as it attracts the normie audience. After a year or two the players that still play the game are the more hardcore fans so the content then will be catered for us

[@bewtwoyt]

[@falsaai]

I played the video in my car while driving back home, and I truly enjoyed the ride :) thank you

[@F0XD1E]

It's a good point that the battle system is set up like gambling just as much as card pulls. Scientifically proven to keep people hooked.

[@XenithShadow]

I am tempted to say we will be able to trade below 2 copies of a card, this is due to when you unlock all the card in a rental deck it gives you the reciepe to build the decks, but it warns you it will only be able to add card to the deck you still own when you craft the deck. This implies that your card count can go below 2. The only reason you can turn cards into flairs and go below 2 cards is a safety feature as flair are exclusive to the card the're made from so turning all you copies of a card into flair for the card no longer have would be a bad user experience (the reason you cant go to 1 copies of a card is likely similarly that you can run two copies of a card so turning one of them into a flair for that card could be a feels bad)

i have picked nothing but the charizard expansion everytime and I literally don't have Sabrina, Moltres Ex, Charizard Ex, Charizard, or anything to build a real competitive deck around. What do I do? I can't even beat the solo deck challenges at this point. What am I going to do? How to play against other people when they have the best supporter cards in the game and the best pokemon and I don't have anything close to a competitive deck that I can build any good deck around? Why do i have such bad luck at literally anything luck related?

[@thecapableplanet7885]

Did you link your account to anything yet because if not, and you’re having that bad of a time you can always reroll your account you can do that as many times as you want as long as you don’t connect your Pokémon pocket account to any of the three accounts Your Nintendo account Google play or the Apple account then you can start over

Spragels is me and I am Spragels. I won't play a game that lasts longer than 3-5 min. My main games are Pocket, Brawl Stars, and Unite. That's it. I won't play anything else. I used to play Snap but I got punished by their acquisition system so I'm done.

I hate the coin flips man! Always gives me tails while my opponent gets 6 heads in a row. That's why I'm starting to love the Malmetal line! No coin flips! Just pure tankiness and heavy damage!

Melmetal es de los peores mazos 😂 No tendrá monedas pero NECESITA 4 JODIDAS ENERGÍAS PARA PEGAR. En serio que eres tonto no? Jajajaja Definitivamente eres muy malo para los juegos de cartas. Si no quieres depender de Monedas, juega Pikachu EX, o Mewtwo EX. Esos son mejores que el ridículo Melmetal que planeas usar 😂

...... how is a game based on flips and luck draw good? A game where no matter what you draw you have a shot to win, THAT is a good game

[@samuelkurniawan1383]

MISSty's is a lot stronger than moltes when she hit, because you can attack and use Misty's in same turn, meanwhile Moltres can't.

[@Volkin-PokemonTCGPocket]

I agree, i think what we were talking about was if misty had the effect of moltres. So a supporter that did 3 flips and attached an energy per head

[@samuelkurniawan1383]

@@Volkin-PokemonTCGPocket Yess, I've must said tho, they can change Misty's effect into flip 2 coin only. But maybe that will made starmie EX, became obsolete, more broken than what it was now.

Hi, I’m an Indian Pokémon player who plays all Pokémon games, including GBA games, Pokémon GO, Unite, and TCG Live. I’m passionate about bringing Pokémon into the mainstream in India.

[@Rafa-hu4nd]

Why I never hear you speaking about unlocalized prices? You all said how you feel, and the guy on discord, and other US, AUS, EU countries.. Can't you see how it's more frustrating to have no option to support the game and always not enjoying the game in full.. Wait for more cards bc the prices are astronomical with money conversion+taxes will be frustrating... I'm always commenting your videos about it so you guys can speak about it and give a little visibility to this issues from other countries, bc I'm sure they watch your videos and some of your opinions influence the game bc you have direct contact with the public in some ways.. but I am never seen. I am aware that this may never change, but it happened once in Pokémon Go in Brazil, where they localized the prices. So, please one day make a video about it and how this could help LATAM, for example, to support the game.

[@Volkin-PokemonTCGPocket]

this has been a problem for a long time in gacha games. i remember the same thing happening 7 years ago in games when i first started making content. When they localize prices everyone then uses VPNs to get cheaper packs from the cheapest region and that stops them from doing it. I know its real bad for brazil, i think its the most hard hit when u look at costs vs average income. but i know the conversions are bad everywhere, even here in Australia but not as bad as other places. Unfortunately i dont see a way these games will do it without the system being abused

No matter how good u build ur deck it comes down to random chances! I hate it! I don’t find it fun at all when u spend a whole hour battling and its just loss loss loss because of unlucky coin flips. It’s INSANE!! I remember one time I was just trying to get a single win for a lvl up and I had to play for like 2 hours to get that lucky win! And no I don’t have bad decks, I have a full pikachu EX, Articuno, Zapfos, and Mewtwo decks. It’s just down to BULL luck!! 🍀 it’s dumb as bricks

[@XenithShadow]

For a casual queue, quiting with no penalty is a extremely important feature. Obviously a ranked mode will have stakes so people are less likely to concede but their also more likely to be playing strong meta decks.

[@TheNamekianClown]

Conceding when you know you can't win is a basic tcg feature. There's no reason to force people to play out a losing battle.
