You don’t have to. You can if you want to.

It’s got A LOT of issues, but I’m at least thankful it exists so that I can actually play the Pokémon TCG since it’s not possible to do irl.

    One great thing about it is the more time passes the closer it gets for it to be replaced with something hopefully better.

    @DoubleCure I figured this would only get remarks like this.

    Oh well, I guess it’s just tarnished it’s name too much.

    The problem it's not the name or the TCG... The problem is that the online game is just bad, filled with bugs and they refuse to listen to simple things players have been asking for years... so it's a hopeless project, lets hope the next one comes soon and it's better.

    @DoubleCure I wasn’t talking about it’s ‘name’ literally, it’s just a figure of speech

    What the devs have managed to put together is actually pretty good for a game that has zero monetization and therefore likely very limited resources (no code cards aren't monetization, no one's desicsion to buy a real life pack is being swayed by thier inclusion if anything they're an extra cost added for advertising). Recent updates have been a step in the right direction for the game and I think surging sparks had been the smoothest content update yet.

    @TechNoise Yeah, but in the new update they changed the battle pass, and now that sucks, like the rest of the game. I think to answer the question, it's probably how cheap and easy it is to get cards. It only takes 600 of credits to get an ex, which makes it easier to get decks.

    But yes, DoubleCure is right, the devs really have just been screwing around for the last update. We've asked for so many things since the game came out, yet all they do is downgrade the battle pass— and before that, for some reason we get a stupid hat with a duck on it.

    I quit playing the game a while back, and it's not looking good for the future of LIVE if the devs don't make some big changes quick.

    Its a very good game glitches sometime but other than that it is good.

    The thing I like most about it is that then are not expensive like in real life.(and by not expensive I mean almost free)

    My favorite part about TCG Live is I don't play it 😂

    I like that it exists, I can't play the TCG with anyone IRL, I don't have any cards nor anywhere to get cards from near me and I know next to no one to play

    I do have another way to play online, but it takes alot to set up and I can't just match make, I literally have to ask someone to play the game with me

    This at least lets me play the game

    It allows me to get cards that are almost impossible to get in real life, and not just because of prices

    Pokémon cards are so scarce because of everyone buying out the shelves

    I can't enjoy collecting anymore

    This at least gives me a way to keep up with the latest expansions and get the nice cards, even if it's not physical like I want

    Also, I've played it in real life and it's not fun, having to constantly shuffle the deck, swipe through the cards constantly, organize my hand. It just take a lot of work and I don't get joy from it

    TCGL does it automatically and, for me, anyways, runs pretty smoothly. I do have glitches, yes, but it's not often. Annoying when it happens, true, but that's the same for all games.

    I really like the app
