in General Pokémon TCG LIVE Discussion #1

In the TCG, when you play your basic Pokemon down to start the game, you can move them around and change which is the active up until the point either you draw your prize cards or flip over the active and bench. In live, if you mis-click the one in your hand (particularly on mobile) you are stuck with that as your basic.

Also with energy selections when using an ability, such as Infernal Reign, if you mis-click which card you want to attach, you can't reverse it.

There is probably other mechanics in the game that have the same problem so feel free to include those into this as well. I just feel like all the mechanics in the game that allow selection either from deck or hand should be select and then confirm, just like it is for an Arven or a nest ball for example.

    Theres an order to these actions, active is placed first, then benched Pokemon are placed, if the rules are being followed properly you cannot change your active Pokemon once you've started placing benched Pokemon or even once you've taken your hand off the card you placed active.

    Interesting.. could you refer me to the part of the rules where it says once you take your hands of the card its final.

    Also, doesn't change the misclick/drag issue, especially with abilities such as Infernal Reign.

    @OfficialSurge with your misclick question. PTCGO(PTCGL predecessor) did this when you played a card that allowed you to shuffle a large quantity of cards into your deck and then draw a smaller number of cards by warning you that you would end up with a smaller card hand. And also confirmed with the user if you want to use something like a GX attack which you can only use once per game.

    TCG Live sort of does this if you don't attach an energy for your turn from your hand and warns you to say, " Are you sure you want to attack even though you havent attached an energy this turn?" And when you play an ability pokemon from your hand onto your bench. It asks you if you would like to use the ability or not like Charizard ex.

    But I agree, for all players this is a must have so they don't make unnecessary mistakes when playing the Pokémon TCG Live.
