New Player: Thoughts on Future Updates for Pokemon TCG Live & Pocket?

Hey everyone! New player here, diving into both Pokemon TCG Live and Pokemon TCG Pocket. Really enjoying both for different reasons – Pocket is great for quick, easy battles, while Live lets me access the full selection of cards and experiment more with deck-building.

But I’m curious… do you all think they’ll keep updating TCG Live with improvements to the UI, graphics, and overall experience? It’d be awesome to see it bridge some of the accessibility and visual polish that makes Pocket so user-friendly. And vice versa, do you think they might add a battle pass, or start implementing boosters and additional sets that are more mobile-friendly versions of what’s currently printed? Something streamlined but not too stripped down.

    I don't see why wouldn't they keep updating their games... TCG Live just did a visual/functional update, and already said many of times that TCG Pocket devs said they are working on a ranked mode.

    I want to see a player chat feature inside of TCG. At the very least I should be able to send inbox messages to any player that is age verified… Or something.

    If nothing else players should be able to request rematches. It's rare to fight winning decks that don't follow the established meta. Sometimes I get extra lucky, sometimes extra unlucky, sometimes the same happens to my opponent. Best 2 out of 3 challenge should be an option.

    There is no relation between the two apps whatsoever other than both being Pokemon.

    That's not true. This is not like comparing Pokémon Sleep to a pair of Pikachu socks or something. The two products are very similar in function, scope and execution.

    They both simulate the real life TCG, they both use Pokémon TCG cards and mechanics, even sharing card designs and artworks, they both use the booster pack model to distribute cards, they both have online play.

    The two are very comparable and lessons learned in one are very applicable to the other. Being part of the same franchise means that the respective developers should have even more opportunities and incentive to work together.
