Will Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket have localized prices for LATAM?

The price for Premium is too high for such a low benefit of just one more pack a day and premium missions. I wonder if this game will be localized for Brazil. I think It should since the game already have many fans here. But, as we know the latest Pokémon MOBA games like Pokémon Unite isn't localized. I think this will define the future of the game in BRL and other LATAM countries.

    I don't know about localized prices but the Premium stuff it's a rip off indeed, they really should focus the paid part on cosmetics and higher rarity cards, with that adding more free content (more stuff to do) and give way more than 2 useless free packs per day.

    I mean the battles are ok (if you don't like to think much), but if it's the only thing you can do after the initial days boost, then it's better to just go battle in TCG Live.

    So, a month subscription costs +R$45, which is absurd. There are products costing R$499,90. If you consider that 1 dolar is x5,00 here it's not proportional, and I think it's even predatory to cost this much! I know there are people that will pay for it but only two packs a day for free players will be for sure pay to win.

    Tbh as soon as you have a top deck a "paying player" have no advantage over you (unless you really value cosmetics), their only advantage is that they have cards a bit faster… so when a new set is released they will potentially have better decks for a few weeks, but then a "free player" that plays regularly will catch up.

    That's why I don't think it is that predatory. But it's good that there are people paying that much, they help keep the game running for us all 😅

    Hmm. I don't think free players will be only weeks behind, bc this is not the only way to have more cards. You can pay in gold. And not localized price players can't pay to win more cards. Everyone should be capable to support the game. Not only US gamers or whales. IMO. Have you already experienced random battles with lots of players with only EX on their teams while you only have a few normal cards? I think it's a total bitter and frustrating experience.

    I've been playing for about 3 weeks and I have basically all the decks and a lot of full arts, immersive cards and a golden (crown) Pikachu…

    I'm a "free player" and it took me 3 weeks to have all that matters (see clasingla just started playing a couple of days ago and already have one of the best decks)… a "paying player" can probably get what I have in a single week or so, that's not a crazy differece considering they are using a lot of money (needed to keep the game running).

    Only 2 days passed since the global release, so obviously now new players are a lot behind, because many people have played the soft release in "New Zealand" plus the new paying players. In 3 weeks new players (that play consistently) will see what I mean.

    It's not just about being a few weeks far behind, it's about we support the game from here, friend. The way it is almost impossible. There are products that costs half a minimum monthly wage. If it's not equitative, whatever it is, it's not fair.

    end/

    There are a lot of people puting money on it, don’t worry about you supporting the game… if you can't afford it play for free like many of us it's still fun.
