Lame Game
I want to like this game an keep playing trying to have some good matches an have fun. But its so lame. Cosntant mulligans an being dealt the same useless cards to start with. Quitting out of matches over an over again. Might get 1 good match up out of 20. Dumb. Most players wont even continue if they dont start the match off without the best hand an able to attack right away. 20 attempts! Just to get a match that goes a few rounds.

The games not lame. The developers are. This game has the potential to outshine every other TCG as TCG Pocket proving the theory correct. These developers don't care, that's the problem.

@pokemasterdon i agree, it has all the potential. An use to be great an fun. NOW! Its lame an been ruined. I hate the direction it went. An i still try an do some matches, only to be annoyed an log off. I just keep coming on here to vent an complain. See who agrees with me or has same issues. Nothing will change or fixed.

This game is hard… not lame. The Pokémon TCG is harder than chess because of the matchups, deck variances and randomization.
Even the best players get bad draws and hands. Most players in the game play the same decks, even tournament winners have the exact same deck list(mirror match) as opponents, and winning comes down to making a discission or pulling the card they need. I have won 17 games in a row (that is my record) and I've lost 5 games in a row… so I think what can I do to make my deck better?The game is not always going to go your way and knowing this makes you a better player and deck builder.

Might as well use this oportunity to rant once again about how terribly bad is the matchmaking designed.
Had daily quest to win 1 match in Trainer Trials, and decided to go with deck build around 151 Venusaur ex, thought it might be fun to play.
That didn't go well.
I could have replaced the daily quest for another one, or I could have picked different deck closer to meta, but I decided to go stupid stubborn about this, sticking with both daily quest and Venusaur ex deck to see how long it will take, and it took me almost four hours loosing one battle after another, always playing against opponents with deck that would effectively prevent me to evolve my Ivysaur.
For my stubborn approach to this, I got loosing streak of about 20 continuous lost battles against top competitive decks, and would probably spend another several hours late into night, trying to achieve seemingly impossible, to win one single match in Trainer Trials with my Venusaur ex deck, if it weren't for the inactive player who took way too long to respond, and end this fight against windmills, by letting me win the match without anyone playing single card.
That's how well is the matchmaking scripted. You either loose against better performing deck, or get your loosing streak interrupted by free win from inactive player. It's not designed to find equal opponent for fair competition.

@AliceEveryDay i dont find the game itself to be hard. I play multiple decks, an try different builds. You always have that one deck that you are best with an use when you want to compete an win. This online version is lame. Rng is BS, i have complained since i started. Its not random. Random isnt playing an 95% of the matches being dealt certian cards to start with. I get so disgusted by it that it makes me not play.

I have to disagree. If you ever played in "organized play" you would know how hard it is to win a match. You will be paired with decks that will beat your deck or a mirror deck and you will have to work hard to win. Most players are good and can play out of a bad hand. If you have to look at your opponent; most likely they have a bad hand too. Watch a Pokémon Play tournament top cut matches on youtube. You'll see them starting with a munkidori or a budew and working their way out of it and it almost always comes down to pulling that one card you need… and never do.
Like I said, the game is easy to play, hard to win… you know what you want your deck to do… statics have another plan for you. And if the game is not fun for you anymore, don't play.
The only things I don't like about the online game is the random glitches (that can be said about any computer game and it won't stop me from playing) and the shuffling. I do agree with in real life; I have the ability to randomize my deck better… shuffling… cutting/tapping all of that…. But even in real life, it comes down to basic statistics in getting that perfect hand.

Play Ranked, people rarely quit if it's not a 100% loss next turn. The game is not lame, it's just too much RNG and that's the biggest issue of the game because otherwise it's fun.

@WiS_Gaming Last time I tried to play my casual build deck in ranked, it was terrible experience.
Is playing meta in ranked the only way to have fun in this game?
Is too much to ask if I would like to play for fun, not for fame, and not facing either insta-quit or opponents with impossible to defeat deck in casual mode?
