Trading Card Game With No Trading and Plenty of Bugs

The game is called pokemon trading card game with no trading. ptcgo had it so why doesnt live. In speaking of ptcgo how is it we get a new version of the same game and we have more bugs they we can count. Cards not doing the coin flip, not pulling energy out of the deck, not allowing me to attach energy when pulled with an abilt, and the list goes on. I understand its a beta but you had an entire game to copy and paste from. All in all allow me to go back and play ptcgo please until you can figure out all these issues and have it fixed.

    "Trading card game" is a phrase referring to a specific type of game. "Trading" isn't an important part of it. The reason it's there is because "collectable card game" isn't as popular a name on English.


    As for why it was removed? Nobody used it for trading. It was only for buying. They decided to go for a dusting-like system like the vast majority of other digital TCG apps (PTCGO and MTGO were the only exceptions), and the system itself is way better than trading. I know some people will say it's not, but the problem with Live is the economy, not the system. Fixing the economy to be more generous would be way better than probably breaking the game for months and introducing scamming just to bring back trading for nostalgia's sake.

    I'd say the "Collectable Card Game" term not being as popular was more of a past thing. With all these digital-only games around these days it's probably the term that makes more sense and is more popular now, but since the trademark was registered back when "Trading Card Game" was more recognizable that's what this game is stuck with.

    "Collectable Card game" is the name of the game in Spanish and French (not sure if it is in any other language), I believe the word "trading" is only in the name of the game in english and german.
