[@xiphiasoffishwell4781]

Just a few things for new players (you probably know this stuff by now): when you open a pack that has a star rare (illustration card) it has a special star animation that comes out of the pack along with a sound. There are theories that backwards packs and bent packs have better chances of hitting rare cards but it's completely false - they just do that to add a little flavor to make it a more "authentic" experience. The game is super fun and is getting a lot of new players into playing the actual game but I think the new players would be a little overwhelmed if they played the full card game because this one has stripped it down and made it a bit easier and streamlined. A lot of the advanced tactics are gone and until they start adding expansions the online battling can be pretty lopsided depending on your pulls. More money = more pulls = better decks = frustration for those of us who aren't blessed with enough money to open tons of packs. Pikachu ex and the Misty trainer card are totally broken in online battles and it wouldn't be surprising to see them get nerfed in the future. Best part about not paying for packs is that you don't get depressed when you get a dud pack. Also, there are god packs but they're very rare.

[@qzy-179SanTzxkW]

20:08 They DID do that Pokemon GO set, so maybe they'll do a "Pokemon Pocket" mini set with some of these exclusive arts all in one set instead of trying to spread them across their normal releases.

[@Asto268]

That or they might release some as promos too

[@Daniel_Barton]

I played this for a few hours today. Collected over 100 cards. Up to level 6 or 7. Built a few decks and done a few battles. Hit a wall though. My decks aren't good enough to get past intermediate battles. I'll keep my eye on the daily missions to see if i can get more than 2 packs in 24 hours. Certainly need more expansions. I got a cool mewtwo card that went into an animation when i opened it. Camera went inside the card and beyond the artwork. Was awesome

[@geraldylionel1180]

That's immersive art rare, one of the rarest in the game. Congrats ! There's one for pikachu ex and charizard ex as well.

Have you tried using the rental decks theyre pretty good. Also with your decks i feel like you have enough cards to make a really good deck and your best cards build it around it and you can rip through the npc missions

[@PickleLikesPizza-u6c]

finally a free way to feed my addiction to cards

[@aakashgv2491]

It's a dopamine heavy game at the very beginning, with little to no actual content as you progress further. As a f2p, you can't go past lvl14--15 with the PvE content. I'm done with all the free content in a day. I had high hopes, thinking it would be like the early versions of Legends of Runeterra. But, yeah, f2p probably aren't the target demographic of this game

[@danipickles]

I think the purpose of this game is more for the collection than the pvp, pve. Its like your second game almost that you log on to do daily's look at cool cards do a couple pvp and then go on your way. Theres already the official tcg app for the actual long games

[@Save21]

@@danipickles It's silly to think that this game is meant for collecting. The ingame cards don't even exist in real life. The game is only designed to take money out of people's pockets, nothing more. If you want to collect, then buy real booster packs.

If they were smart they would have a mission where for example, you have to collect every card in the current Pokédex to receive an exclusive psychical card. Or if you complete every mission or certain missions in the game within x amount of days/weeks/months etc. It’ll incentivize people to keep playing this game and also give an exclusive psychical card.
