It's good to hear that it is not just me, in a way. I do not care too much about post counts; I would prefer that they were removed anyway, along with ranks. But not updating the forum listing or notifying users when a previously held post is approved, disrupts conversation. It can make a topic appear dead when in fact…

Releasing it the day before a major set release was probably an attempt to bury the negative press under all of the enthusiasm of opening new cards.

@Nitex1337 If that's the case, I recommend the same course of action one should take with any company that refuses to address consumer concerns and complaints. Stop paying for their product, send them a polite but firm message (support ticket, email, handwritten letter, etc.) explaining your grievances and why they are no…

I am very vocal about my criticisms of the franchise, but there were a few QoL changes I actually liked, such as the ability to nickname your Pokémon from the menus and the ability to swap out and relearn past moves.

'TCG' is left over terminology from the 90s. When was the last time you traded a physical card for anything other than cash? They tend to go with 'Collectable Card Game' or 'CCG' these days. Or even 'Card Game', as you said. But the initial TCG is inexorably attached to Pokémon, and more importantly for this discussion,…

It should work like the old GTS in the main games. Let people offer a card and request a card in return. We can even have a matching rarity requirement if we want to avoid the "level 3 Ratata for level 100 Mewtwo" scenarios that plagued the actual GTS. Why does Pokémon keep coming up with great solutions like the GTS or…

Open trading is the most consumer friendly outcome. So we almost certainly won't get that. It shouldn't need a resource. Certainly not a resource that requires you to expend cards.

The Pokémon Company and the developers. It's for them. Certainly not for customers. If you can aquire cards easily and efficiently through trading, you won't buy as many packs. So it has to be hamstrung and sabotaged to the point of uselessness.

It is a common tactic in apps like these to have multitudes of different currencies to ensure that you can never be sure what you are really spending. Furthermore, if there is one useful currency, everyone will simply dedicate all their time and resources to acquiring that. And finally, if trading were actually an…

I think you may wish to hold off on trading for a bit. If public reception is anything to go by, they might be reworking or expanding the system in short order. It would be unfortunate for you all to trade in so many cards when you may be able to make the same trade at a much lower cost in a few weeks. I have no insider…
