My First Battles in Pokemon TCG Pocket!

[@R-N-W-F2P]

Everyone live in new Zeland now huh?

[@naturalharmoniagropius4486]

I mean, NordVPN stonks

[@MatthewNusca-y4c]

Not me lol. I'm waiting patiently so my account doesn't get messed up. 🤣🤣 I'm betting these people will complain if Nintendo banned em for playing the game early. If u start off in new Zealand you won't be able to change down the road meaning potentially alot of crashes and laggy matches. Just a heads up.

[@smartpatrick8690]

I used tunnelbear and Xapks files. Now I have like full access to the game

[@memevin]

@@MatthewNusca-y4c Nintendo has done soft launches before and its been fine for early players every time so far. I don't think they'll change it for this one.

[@MatthewNusca-y4c]

@@memevin hope so! Glad people are able to get their hands on this one early. Nintendo's basically making pokemon more available to newcoming fans of the series. 😎😎

[@AZ-zz4kn]

Man the UI look so much better than Live. I also like weakness is additive instead of being 2x so you don’t get one sided matchup where you can get obliterated in one shot.

[@kjbahotae]

When the true launch comes, the rest of the world will be so behind LMAO

[@gerhardkuhn4831]

Luckily n one day you can get to almost a full meta deck

[@monsterman1069]

This is like the mona lisa compared to the leaking garabage bag thats tcg live

[@pocketdreamau]

disagree, yeah tcgl is glitched but the gameplay is fun. this looks dull as hell.

[@takenname8053]

What's better than fixing a game? Making a new one to replace it!

[@dineinunes]

PTCGL is a TPCi product, Pocket is a TPC product and they have no involvement with PTCGL. They also serve two very different purposes.

[@SmiileySmiiles]

I agree, 20-40 mins timers is just ridiculous, it should be 5-10 minutes as they mentioned

[@professorgnome]

I think this game will be really interesting, im excited to do stuff with it when it comes out. It feels and looks like the classic TCG almost like a pokemon GOAT format and its its kinda exciting. I dont know if it will have a long competitive life since it seems balancing could be an issue but im excited to try it! thanks for covering it!

[@bad_atgames]

I'm very excited to try it out. I've been wanting a tcg I can actually play at work during my lunch

[@atomic6027]

I cant understand the point of going first in battle. Unlike previous tcgs this one dont let us attach an energy.So going 2nd gives double advantage of using moves first and also attaching energy first. Or am i missing something

[@acemaverick115]

Making pokemon free and simple to play is gonna grow this game big imo

[@hug-the-raccoon]

I'm glad the gameplay is at least decent for a game heavily marketed as being focused on collecting cards Maybe not as competitive as normal PTCG, but for some people, that's exactly what they want.

[@bad_atgames]

@@hug-the-raccoon This is pretty much exactly what I want. Pokemon TCG is a great card game but a terrible mobile game, this is an easy to pick up and play version of it that you can spend 10 minutes on at work

[@Re5_2karman]

Aside from the new rules, they went for Sun&Moon era aesthetics on the cards despite in the ex format. I wonder if that was intentional

[@augustdunnihoo]

This is the most mind numbing way to play the tcg.

[@bad_atgames]

I think it's the opposite honestly, playing TCG live on my phone is like a 40 minute torture-fest sometimes. These are like 5 minute bursts

[@TreeckoTVV]

Agreed, these decks look so boring. Just attach one energy and attack. Pokemon for babies

[@bad_atgames]

@@TreeckoTVV This is pretty much how the game was when wizards introduced base set

[@TreeckoTVV]

@bad_atgames that's because cards games are fairly basic and lacking when they start out. I don't see the appeal of this game at all, but if its something you're interested in, all power to you.

[@pocketdreamau]

@@bad_atgames not really. 20 card decks and only four prizes. this is just babies first tcg which already existed in battle academy.

[@SpectreXS]

But wait... HEXAGONS? AGAIN??

[@johnathansilva2823]

This game solves 2 problems: 1. Power creep 2. Avatar creep

[@dineinunes]

Considering that is unlikely that there will be rotation in this game, just wait a while and y'all will be complaining about power creep. The actual TCG doesn't suffer from actual power creep due to rotation, there is just a "power inflation". Now, in a format without rotation and this game being heavy on microtransactions, they will need to keep pushing people to get the new cards and that's how actual power creep starts.

[@johnathansilva2823]

@dineinunes I will not be playing Pocket Monsters Pocket.

[@RednekGamurz]

The client itself seems way better than Live, but the gameplay seems too watered down.

[@noahandhisbro2377]

I hope some of these cards do become real at some point

[@ianromo6802]

The computer just trolled the whole game

[@thearrivalalex450]

Fun fact, you can attack while going first with Misty, idk who thought this was a good idea

[@MetalMinion3]

"LopunnyFan69"😆

[@Anthony0482]

My brain hurts just watching 😂 this reminds me of pokemon battles on pokemon go completely mind numbing boring

[@bad_atgames]

@@Anthony0482 This is pretty much how the game was when wizards introduced base set

[@bbflip143]

The new rules, which are simplified, are fantastic as well, everyone, including new players, will easily understand them. Now i'm really curious to see someone play and implement these new rules in a real-life game Haha

[@shinyrayquaza11]

I can't say I'm disappointed with this game when I already knew it was gonna be bad. The game is very polished and it looks and plays infinitely better than Live so I'll give it that. But what's exactly the point of this game other than spending a ton of money and opening packs? The battle mechanics are way too simple and mind numbingly boring so I can't see myself playing it for an extended period. This is yet another blatant cash grab by TPC and the people who spends money on this game will definitely regret it sooner or later.

[@bad_atgames]

@@shinyrayquaza11 You answered the question yourself

[@alltheabcs261]

I couldnt best the masters leauge on day 1 unfortunately

[@cedricwong0]

0:40 Interesting name you got there

[@michaelcalvert6323]

It's years ahead of live and has been out less than a week. It has its issues but at launch all can be forgiven.

[@johnathansilva2823]

20 cards because no energy or trainer cards. So it's like playing War...

[@GynxShinx]

No

[@santiagoatehortua5863]

20 minute timers but each turn has a max of 90 seconds. With 20 card decks, most matches won't last more than a few minutes

[@jonathona4032]

I’m just counting the days at this point 😣

[@NikkGaming-ih2gy]

I love that there are better ai battles i dont really like the pvp aspect of the game

[@casketsgaming440]

Idk how this is better than live? This is so dumbed down

[@foxhound6364]

It isn't supposed to be. The main draw of it is supposed to be opening and collecting cards. The battles are simplified to work as quick bites of gameplay on mobile. It isn't supposed to replace or even compete with TCG Live. It is meant to exist alongside it without canabalizing it.

[@casketsgaming440]

@foxhound6364 Yeah I agree, just the amount of comments and the video itself comparing it to live..

[@mikek43]

Better than TCG live lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@OnionArcade]

3:59 The computer did what? Bro.

[@goldenprataclaw7682]

snorlax seems like a good tank

[@JanderStrahd]

The game auto-deciding who goes first is a change that needs to be made to PCTGL immediately. This is how it always should have been, and they know it. And doing dailies against AI is the stress-free gameplay PTCGL painfully lacks.

[@essurio]

But...deciding who goes first is a big fucking part of the game. There are cards that only work when going first or second.

[@cantrip7]

​@@essurioI suppose decks that prefer to go second have more of a chance of getting what they want, but at the very least, you shouldn't have to choose which side you want AND manually flip AND choose first or second. It should just choose a player to flip, assume heads, flip for them, THEN let the winning player choose as the first manual action.

[@alexesvargas9093]

I got two Charizard one gold and ex two Blastoise one venasuar mewtwo ex aracaine ex zapdos ex articuno regular one gengar ex and been three days since playing I just need two moltress ex to combo my Charizard deck need two misty support stamie ex and Greninja ex an and articuno ex and gardvoir to support mewtwo got two ralts and two kirlia hopefully i get it before the game release in global to do verses match and pvp and trade

[@dineinunes]

That's the point of it being region locked during soft launch.

[@gshmoker6805]

Are you able to play this offline/airplane mode like Pokemon unite?

[@Cosmos31982]

The main point is this game is quick and fun to get new cards unlike tcg live 😊

[@SomniaCE]

Forever bitter that they would rather create all new cards in an all new format for an all new app then just put MTX into Live and support it like it deserves. Makes no fucking sense...

[@bad_atgames]

@@SomniaCE It actually makes perfect sense when you realize the scope, monetization, and pretty much everything else about the game besides the core gameplay are very different. See yugioh dual links, from what I've heard anyways.

[@SomniaCE]

@@bad_atgames That's literally my problem though? Like read my comment lol

[@joebowl8315]

Live is horrible, too slow and boring. Cope harder man, this was always the better and cheaper option.

[@SomniaCE]

@@joebowl8315 This is actually the dumbest thing anyone could possibly say. "It is cheaper to hire designers to make all new cards in an all new format than it is to just fix the existing client" is just so good ty

[@iliya1933]

Just in case you were looking for feedback, I like your informational content, but almost all of your gameplay videos that I've watched in the past few months and now more of your informational videos are just constant genitalia/sex jokes. I can appreciate humor, and it's not like I never laugh at that sort of thing, but it's too much for me to the point where I don't laugh at any of them and I see one of your videos in my feed and think "It's the guy who makes middle school jokes all the time; maybe I'll just look up the new cards online," or I find a different channel for content like this that isn't distracting in that way. Obviously I'm only one viewer, and maybe the rest of your viewer base either likes or is indifferent to it, so I'm not trying to demand that you do anything. I figured you'd want to know in case you've already gotten feedback like that and were looking for more information on your viewers' thoughts. If not, feel free to just ignore this.

[@Sp0on777]

I think it's hilarious. It also makes the channel somewhat unique because all or most other ptcg related channels are concerned with remaining "family friendly," so you won't hear any dirty jokes while watching their content. But I too am just one viewer, with an immature sense of humor.

[@iliya1933]

@@Sp0on777 It's definitely fair. And I'm not against this kind of content or anything. It's just that it feels like too much to the point where it's often very low hanging fruit or like there's not much else other than that all the time, at least to me. But I'm glad you also shared your opinion.

[@stephenb2817]

Will Pocket be available on PC?

[@TrustYourPilotTCG]

Just iOS and Android, officially. No plans for PC or Switch.

This game just feels so pointless. After you have completed every solo battle there is literally nothing else to do in the game. For some reason the game doesnt even have a ladder at all?? so there is no reason to even try to build a deck and definitely no reason to spend money on this

Why does this exist? This is so dumb. Nobody wants a watered down Pokemon TCG with micro transactions that plays by itself .

[@ArcadianVanguard978]

because no smart human being wants to play 40 minute matches on a broken client like TGC Live that looks and feels like complete ass. This game is gonna make billions, so that answers your question.

@@zoonzoon123 sorry not sorry that I don’t jump on the band wagon and just follow along with what the brain dead masses are manipulated into thinking is popular. Y’all can have your Pokémon with training wheels, and pay to have a AI lose for you. This shit is for toddlers

[@ArcadianVanguard978]

@@brandonadams6108 Your brain is simply gone. The market shows that people are more likely to play and spend on a digital card game that has faster games, which is why this exists. The Pokemon Company is going to use those numbers to base their decisions, not some random opinion of a scrub on the internet who is complaining about having to spend some money here and there. I played Pocket for a day now, have 100+ cards and have not spent one cent. Stop being a little loser.
