Migration

Options

The transition from the old Pokémon Trading Card Game Online (PTCGO) to Pokémon Trading Card Game Live (TCGL) has been extremely frustrating for me and many other players, especially because it feels like a step backward. I am unable to transfer my old decks, cards, coins, skins, items, or even my progress and rank to the new platform. This makes me lose years worth of investment in the game, both in terms of time and resources.

This is disheartening, especially when the new platform doesn't seem to offer anything that significantly makes up for the loss and experience. For me, this migration feels unnecessary, as it removes all the hard-earned achievements and collections without offering anything in return, making it difficult to see the point of switching to a system that refuses to acknowledge and leave so much behind.
