Idk what everyone’s on about. The only non f2p friendly mechanic is the pass you get for free for 2 weeks. I’ve been playing almost since it came out and I’m level 14. I have okay decks, but have so much fun playing them. Yeah progress slows down, do yall wanna complete the pokedex 5 days after it came out?😭 complete the missions and have fun w it, don’t worry about heavy competition until ur ready :)

You can get all the cards without spending money I like the guys videos but this one is pretty useless I already have almost 300 cards in TCG pocket without spending money

[@daltonwelch50]

I hope does

[@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]

The wonder pick and 1st ex is guaranteed, Marowack ex, Exeggutor ex and Arcanine ex

@@Jus3002 maybe create an alt account where you open the pikachu pack and then once trading gets added, trade it to your main.

[@thelads6573]

​@@Sorzianzyo you might be onto something😂 Tho I do think they'll make it so you have a lvl restriction cause if not you could just do the beginner and advanced quests, get 240 hourglasses, trade and new account, repeat

[@andrewthomasestrada]

also.. not sure if he mentions this in the video yet - if you open the pack while it's backwards the stack will be face down when you do your pulls.

[@Silver_universe]

its cool

[@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.

[@faizaldaut5655]

I got pikachu 😊

[@yagagang1854]

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

It's not luck if you spend all your money to open like 60 packs in 1 day

[@MangoTangoFox]

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

[@wenam87]

You know what would make this even more awesome? If they actually have an option to order cards you already have to be delivered in real life. Because I so want that Gyarados promo card.

I’m so happy you got into the game :) I’ve been playing since launch and I collected every card in the entire expansion. Enjoying this game so much!

The sheer mass of people spending their money on Pokemon Pocket reminds me again of Einstein's saying. "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, but I'm not quite sure about the universe yet"

Do you have a hobby? Do you spend money on that hobby? Do you make money from that hobby? Now are you stupid? I don't understand how others spending the money they earn is stupid.

[@Tomilesean]

They should make a set for this game like pokemon go

[@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.

I mean yeah, but at the same time there is no more content for p2w.(Or I missed something) I'll go even further and say a big whale will not even have reason to come back for booster opening if he as everything. (Sound boring) They can play more decks in pvp tho, but yeah game is a bit empty right now, can't wait to see what are the many events coming.

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.
