Going First is actually a penalty and needs to be fixed
As per title going first is at the moment a disadvantage it is a penlty in the majority of the cases except some narrow deck exception. I'm baffled that this hasn't been changed yet it is so bad that it seems almost a bug, you should be rewarded for winning the coin flip instead you are heavily penalized. This can be sorted by just letting the first player attach energy

Totally false, your reasoning shows lack of knowledge about the game.
Going 1st it's great for multiple decks... specially for evolution decks with low energy attack cost, and of course decks that can acelarate energy like Misty and some other situations.
lol if they would change it to simply allow attaching an energy going 1st like you want... those decks would be broken... and going 2nd would be terrible, in every single way would be worst than going 1st.
Also it's not a bug, it was intended this way... and you didn't even post this in the correct forum section since this is about TCG Pocket.
