Some Suggestions to Improve Playability

1] More control over the types of battles you join. More options for example, beginner, intermediate, advanced (like in solo battles), possibly an option to not play with or against EX cards. This would make a greater number of decks viable for playing with, I'm here to have fun, not win ALL the time or lose ALL the time. The focus should be on play.

2] Auto coin flip button would be nice. I like flipping the poke coin, they're copies of REAL coins, but being able to press auto flip would be helpful, as it gets to be a lot after a while.

3] Being able to view card flair on card collection screen, maybe a 'toggle flair' button to look at all the cards with the flair added. It would be very pleasing to see.

4] Being able to randomise which booster pack (pika, charizard, mewtwo) you pick, I like the rng elements, I want to spin through the three packs and open whichever one I land on.

5] More community!!!!! I want to be able to message added friends 'hi, wanna battle' .. in battles I want to be able to compliment the cards people use if they are beautiful or cute. A few times I've felt ill and had to concede, I want to let people know 'sorry I gotta go' rather than have them think I'm rude.

6] MUCH more control over the 'Private match' option. I want to be able to set it to 'fire-type only' etc, 'basic pokemon only', just.. let us use it for all the weird house rules we might make up for battles if we were friends playing in real life!! It would massively increase playability, it would be lots more fun.

So, what do you think?

    i agree, playing with non ex decks makes for way more strategy and fun in my opinion. with the meta EX decks you can usually tell who will win by turn 6 depending on what starter cards they pull. ive posted a similar content post asking to at least not let players use the same deck over and over and over which is super boring.

    as far as the community aspect i want SOMETHING to bring us together whether it be a chat bar or even pre recorded phrases but the fact there is no interaction means people may as well be playing against computer bots.. ive had similar situations of needing to concede but not trying to seem rude. some times id like to even be able to say "check mate, you win" before i concede.

    also an idea is a max number of concedes with a timer on it so it limits the players from conceding after the starting hand. or conceding if they see their deck has the weakness and they go second, they just concede instead of at least playing out some of the game to see how the pulls go. ( i do understand how frustrating it is to see 2 mewtwo ex and a gardevoir evolution on the bench to start the game. but again, that doesnt mean they will draw the evolutions to gardevoir before you can get set and do damage or use supporter cards
