   Games amazing really is , but it lacks potential. Playing some time now 1st timer I see as fighter types have it all at this moment of the game , wish it wasn't like that. Wish all types have it as fighting type do. And take off the 3 Points scoreboard give us like 500 health to at least do some kind longer strategies. As of right now where the game stands I don't see it getting any popular other than grinding for fighting types as they are in a strategic way the best in the game because if you don't you just outplayed by fighting types unfortunately. 1 last problem the fact that stalling allo

   wing you to win sometimes is a joke. You telling me my whole time setting up a EX Pokemon just to get wiped out by fighting types and for a EX Pokemon 3 points or 2 points taken off gives me little to no chance to make another set play or counter. Not even my best of the best fire team has a chance against fighting types just base off the fact fighting set up just out speed in attacking and just to powerful. Maybe make a different better version where all the types having it like fighting types so everyone can grind for there element types without the worry of having to waste a pack pull. And also we need some side dungeons or something for specific limited time cards or rewards pack pulls. Only cause the event you reach a certain limit till you can't do nothing else.

   I’ve been playing/collecting all things Pokémon since I was 9, and when I heard about this game I was worried it would end up being a cash grab, but it’s completely playable and enjoyable without spending a dime. It’s hard to pass up some things in the shop, like I had to splurge on the Lillie set cause she’s my fav (back when Sun and Moon came out I had never seen anyone with my name spelling, so for there to be a Pokémon character, who is also blonde like me, have my exact name made me feel special, so she’s always been my fav!) There isn’t a whole lot I would change other than the ability t

   more

   o see all collected emblems on profiles and up the number of binders and display boards (there’s so many cards and covers/backdrops being added, it’s hard to work with the limit) I’ve got so many emblems I’m proud of that I want to have on my profile, but we’re only able to have 3 shown, so if we could do like the wishlist even and have 3 shown on the profile then click to see the rest of them, that would be awesome! Also, the pull rates feel off. I’ve gotten amazing pulls way more often in the beginning than I have the last few months. I get dupe common after dupe common and it makes pulling feel way less fun. I have opened 227 packs of Eevee Grove trying to get the 2 star Sylveon since it released and still nothing. I have 20+ dupes of the common cards each like I can’t get hardly anything and that’s when I feel like the shift in odds started cause it has continued on that way since then. Please readjust the pull rates cause it feels impossible to get good cards now.
3. ★★★★☆ Incredibly solid game lots of potential 3735618746 · 27 Mar 2025
   Literally one of my favorite games. I love how real it feels with opening packs and the random nature of collecting. Being limited to the cards you’ve collected, to build decks around your strategy, is awesome because it really is your play style and deck building that gets you through matches. With that being said I wish there was an option to choose the size of your game. For example the 20 card per deck game is good for fast games, it would be awesome to be able to choose 36 or even the standard 60 card decks like the real life rules for those who have enough cards and have played long enou

   more

   gh. Also it would be a lot more satisfying if there was some kind of tangible reward for winning games like hourglasses or maybe even single cards or like entire packs in the new ranked mode would be awesome. There are so many pokemon cards in real life and the fact that this is digital allows you to separate the legality of different block cycles along with the annual shift in real life, (all the balancing is basically done for you by the developers all you need is to add options like “F block” or “G block”) or change up the card abilities to keep it fair and you won’t have to make any block categories. Anyway I digress the sky’s the limit with this game and I think almost everyone in the pokemon card community would jump onto this if it reaches its potential. I already love it and there’s so much more you can do.
4. ★★★★★ Fun but could use improvements! RichCityJony · 18 Feb 2025
   Personally, the game is very fun however after the first few days, the pack openings, slow down drastically, and if you want to build a deck, you are left with very little options since the trading is also currently only for friends. If there was a way to set up a trade and request some cards you are looking for but make it public so anybody can see what you are looking for and if they have that card, they can do that trade if you are offering something that they are looking for as well. As for long-term playing if multiplayer battles would offer at least one pack hourglass per victory it wo

   more

   uld give more motivation to continue playing rather than just 15 XP at a time. Personally 12 matches won what equal one pack which honestly it’s pretty fair considering you actually would have to try and win these 12 hourglasses Final thing would be the shop there are currently a few things you can purchase in the shop it would be nice if the hourglass at least reset so we can buy more or at least offer some cards daily that you can use points to buy in case you were missing any currently you can only purchase our glasses and a few covers and sleeves, but once everything has been purchased, the whole store is grayed out and all the points you have are basically useless because the hourglass don’t seem to reset, the few promos that are available are the only things you can purchase, but it would be cool if those cards would rotate to other random cards that someone may need such as commons or uncommon or occasionally that one rare card that someone might be looking for to complete a deck
5. ★★★★★ Give it a try! mbk19181 · 10 Feb 2025
   Pros: It’s Pokémon! The art is really well done. Battle system is simple to learn. Auto battle feature makes it even easier. Deck building is easy and intuitive. The Pokémon themselves are cute, cool and fun to collect. They keep introducing new cards and variations on old ones which keeps the game fresh. Cons: Battle system is a bit too simple once you understand it. Going second is an advantage that doesn’t exist in the original card game. The energy supply system is better in the original card game and more fair. Needs a power balance as Charizard EX is simply too OP, capable of dealing ove

   more

   r 200 damage which is more than any Pokémon has. Moltres EX can add 1-4 energy every turn meaning you could have Charizard at full charge in 3-4 moves (counting evolutions). It’s really just poor balancing. I think power creep could be an issue. If you keep increasing power to match charizard, you risk power creep and then anything under 200 hp that deals less than 200 damage will no longer be viable. If you work out a battle system closer to the original card game where there are energy cards and both players have equal opportunity to add them, it could help balance a bit without the power creep being a factor. Final take: play the game! Don’t take it too seriously and just have fun and collect Pokémon. It’s great for what it is and I’m confident it will continue to be interesting with added card sets and new solo challenges. If you want the nostalgia, you’ll get the nostalgia. If you are new to Pokémon, this is a really fun way to start.
6. ★★★★★ Fix Trading Kai282 · 6 Feb 2025
   I love the game and idea of it. Do not get me wrong the game is pretty fun. But for a trading card game the trading feature and concept is very very lackluster and could’ve been done better especially when that was the one thing that excited most fans. When I got the update and even saw reviews online I already knew the trading feature was going to tank. The concept is there but to be honest the fact that there is a limit to what to trade and there is a cost to to it is very disappointing. At the very least having to introduce a brand new “Trade” currency when we have the Shinedust readily ava

   more

   ilable with majorly users having thousands already is pretty much unnecessary. I suggest to take a good look at the trading system back during the Pokémon XY era on the 3DS where players used to nickname Pokemon to form sentences as a way of communication so a chat box feature would’ve been nice (obviously no bad words) and you can see what exactly what they are wanting to trade. Another way around this is basically a “Request Trade feature” where you can essentially let the player you are trading with know what card you want specifically. Lastly, bringing back Wonder Trade and the GTS System would be great. A Local Trade system would be nice also as it would be more efficient and easy if someone standing right in front you has the game and wants to trade. I hope you guys really consider this in the future.
7. ★★★★★ Actually Great Game Alternative_Silence7 · 25 Jan 2025
   I’m not lying it’s actually pretty great. I’m surprised Pokémon Go is still alive after this. You get to open two card packs every day for free. There are no lives or “energy’s” so you can battle as much as you want every day which is nice. You get points from opening packs that you can use to buy certain cards. You even get to physically slice open the packs so it feels real. You can exchange duplicates for flare which just makes the cards sparkly or surrounded by particles during battle or stuff. It’s really fun to show off that you have so many of these super rare cards that you can afford

   more

   to trade a few for some sparkly particles. It’s so fun seeing friends and telling them about your latest pull. It’s essentially the card game, just perfectly digitalized. There are actually no ads. I’m not joking, and they’d better not change that. Not even ads asking you to get premium, which is like $10 a month to open an extra pack and unlock special missions with special awards. But you don’t have to do it to proceed. They offer the ability to buy things like Poké Gold but they don’t force you, or show any ads telling you to. They are constantly updating it to fix bugs and make it better. You can have friends and I think pretty soon they’re opening trading, which will make it very interesting. If I could change anything at all, I would add more cards, with different Pokémon on them, which I think they plan on doing. I want a Fuecoco so bad! Also the music does get a little annoying after a bit, but honestly just mute it. It’s worth it
8. ★★★★★ Great Pokemon Card Game!. To Me is The Best Pokemon Card Game Ever!. Kingstron · 17 Jan 2025
   Producers and Developers thank you for creating such a great Pokemon Card Game… finally I truly enjoy and keep playing the Pokemon game!. Great Graphics and a okay sound… you can add some music to the game, Okay Creators!. Can you add the option for the Computer to play for you in Multiplayer games in this Game; please I ask because it will be nice to have and to see how the Computer plays against other players!. Went is the Trading system is going to be available in the game; please don’t take your time because I really hoping to trade some of the cards for something that I want!. Oh and Crea

   more

   tors can you add Super Potions to the game… so far I haven’t seen any Super Potions or Mega Potions; I think that’s something the Game Needs in the Future at Least!. Can the Game Developers add more features or things to do in the Game, because it needs more than just what I see; so that it can keep me busy playing with the game!. Can the Creators add a Better in Front Picture to this Pokemon Game; like I seem on other Pokemon Games; it’s not Legendary at all the in Front Picture, it’s just Some Letters Saying the Word Pokemon with I think it’s just Plain Old Picture!!. Really hope this Pokemon Game improves a lot more… we will see about that!. Overall I think it’s a great Pokemon game and project!. Your Player KingOfAngels and KingOfTheHazel Eyes, KingIssac Francisco Siguenza!.
9. ★★★★☆ 5 stars but I want to wonder pick☹️ Emperson12 · 16 Nov 2024
   First of all, love the game. It’s great, I love the packs, the anticipation you get while tapping or swiping the cards, waiting to see if you got an EX or something more legendary. The battles are fun, and the pace at which you can get cards and the auto deck build features make battles more balanced. Please do release trading soon, it will make me love this already great game even more! But onto the second thing, I think that the timers on opening a pack and wonder picking are too different for me to feel comfortable with these timers. For instance, it takes 12 hours for you to get another pa

   more

   ck, while wonder picking takes a full 60 hours to recover to 5, which I find outrageous! I know that this wonder pick system could be easily abused with shorter timers and also that the game gives you a good amount of wonder pick hourglasses earlier on, but nonetheless, eventually you’ll hit a point where all of your wonder stamina is burnt out and you have poke gold that you don’t want to spend the wonder pick timer or just plain have no poke gold or wonder hourglasses at all, you must either resort to spending money on the game or waiting out the full time you need to get what you want. I know that wonder picks are supposed to have a randomness feature to make it fun, but seeing a great pack to wonder pick and not having the wonder stamina + hourglasses to do so is quite disheartening. Devs please think about shortening this timer.
10. ★★★★★ It’s not bad! s0nic1224 · 7 Nov 2024
    While I am not a BIG Pokémon veteran, I do find it very enjoyable as an 11 year old myself. Now I’m not saying this game is perfect, but I do see some aspects that can be frustrating. For example, the pack time, and while I’m not as mad as some other reviewers, I think it’s insane how you need to wait a day for 2 virtual packs. Now Although this is kind of unreasonable, there is a healthy balance between it, like the currency in this game, hourglasses, which can help reduce the time by an hour per hourglass. This actually is not hard to get and you don’t need to actually spend your money for a

    more

    lot of them. You get some at the start, and you can complete beginner quests (which are pretty easy) to get bundles of this currency. I’ve gotten about 40 and only have played for 10 minutes, with no money, hence this game isn’t really Pay To Win. Now the battling system. I don’t know really. I’m still a new player and not a really a reliable source when it comes to certain aspects of the game. But the really main thing of this game is to Idle and Collect. Sure you can play and battle with your friends, but at the end of the day it’s just you waiting patiently for those little boosters. But, Pokemon did a nice job designing this game in my opinion. There is really no flaw (except for you TCG players having to deal with a new battling system, from what I researched.) to this game. It’s a generally fun game, and that’s a win in my book. Thank you Pokemon for this amazing refresher to the TCG online game I played as a little toddler at my PC.
