Random Game Critiques/Suggestions
First off, I love the game. Been playing it since it first dropped, and have rarely missed a day playing. But there are a few "issues" that are more quality of life, as in they aren't gamebreaking, just really inconvenient at times.
First, please move the Auto Battle button somewhere else, possibly even just a cm above its orginal position. I misclick it so often due to how close it is to the End Battle button, and end up wasting a few cards; that I had wanted to save for later.
Second, when making decks, having the Energy be automatically changed for you, should be an option. Similarly, why not have the same thing for the Deck Box type? As in it changes the color based on the overall typing of your deck, I figure that would've been easier and a bit more consistent. Mainly also because I notice a majority of my friends who have just recently got into the game, aren't changing the color themselves.
Thirdly, please can Pack Points be slightly more universal, I have about 300-400 points from each of the older packs that I don't really need to use because I've pulled most of the cards I needed/wanted. Except for, of course, the 1200-1500 point cards.
I know these are meant to be rarer cards, but this I've seen this apply to newer players too from just the basic cards. In a sense, they need around 100-150 to get a 1st stage-2nd stage, respectively. But because of the amount of points earned they would rarely if ever just buy the card nor grind that deck 20-30 times for a chance at that one card.
Is it possible to make the first few packs have a shared pack point system (suggesting that more of the older packs are included as newer packs are introduced), It would also give incentive to newer players a reason to pull from other decks, so they build up pack points anyways.
Or just simply increase the amount of pack points earned from older decks.
This allows them to get that one supporter and/or a 1st stage they couldn't pull that everybody else already has. SO many of my friends have unfinished evolution lines because they move on to the next deck and forget that they needed it in the first place.
TLDR;
1. Move Auto Battle button a bit more away from the End Battle Button, I misclick very often.
2. Give on/off option for Automatic Energy Change when making decks.
2.5. Similarly, why not have the Deck Box Type/Color change automatically? New game friends too lazy to do themselves.
3. Either make pack points universal for older packs, or increase the overall amount of pack points earned from from them. My new game friends are being gatekept from using a 2-stage evolution, because the game refuses to give them the 100-150 point basic/1st stage. 10-15 days of grinding btw.
Thank you genuinely for making this game, its been fun and it allowed me to show my friends how I had felt when I first played pokemon.
