Pokemon TCG Pocket just dropped

Stupid question, what's the brown gift boxes we get. Never found a use for them or they never show up in my gifts to claim after

That’s just an icon representation of the “daily gift”. What you get is a shop ticket and a wonder hourglass (i.e. that’s what the present contains).

I've had a few people ask me this. With the ridiculous amount of different currencies, they need to make this clearer.
...and reduce the amount of currencies. Massively.
 
It's irritating that full art cards don't count towards the basic pokemon in the dex, like I had 3 full art Serperiors but still had to get a regular one to collect all 68 mythical island pokemon. Happened with other cards too, like I still don't have the lowest rarity Venusaur Ex despite having the highest rarity one.
 
I have about 20 cards left to get in the 'normal' cards. I don't think I got a single new card in the last 5 days

I got the base ones done for the Mythical Pack, but need quite a lot of the art ones...

For the For Genetic Apex, I got 215/226... The last few just DON'T WANT TO SHOW UP.

I've had to spend my Pack Points to get some of them, but I ran out of points. 😭

I was quite surprised to see how many people got the 226 cards in Genetic Apex and got that secret Mew card within the first 2-3 weeks the game was out. And hardly any of them were whales, I think they were mostly free to play players.

of the normal cards I'm missing 11 from the original 3 boosters,
and 1 from the new booster...

until literally just a minute ago I didn't get a single new card in at least a week lol...
but a minute ago I FINALLY GOT CELEBI EX!!!... the only one left from that booster is Aerodactyl EX.

even in the Wonder Pick I don't get new cards 😭

I like it for what it is, you should not get mad if can't find ot trade something. Just log-in, open free packs, get the bonuses and enjoy life.

I chill played Pokémon GO for like 7yrs and at some point I ended up having everything my friends that wasted thousands of € on it had, just later. I never spent a cent and just enjoyed the travel.

I tried it last night when bored before bed.

Only level 4 so I've barely touched the battle system, but overall it's okay.

Marvel Snap is much better, but I'll play more to see if anything grabs me.

I was already mostly playing Live and just launching Pocket to claim daily shit and grow collection. So it's just a collecting thing to me.

Putting a blockage on what cards can be traded is like a massive beacon of how much it fails to really replace real trading cards.

They're called trading cards.

My interest in this has waned considerably. I'm not much of a PvP player. I just like collecting the cards and making decks that auto battle the ai while I'm doing other shit. I still log in to open packs every 12 hours, and give thumbs up to all my gaf bros collections so they get the shop credits. I'm at level 30 and have roughly 2000 cards. The game is very slow and I rarely get any new cards. Kinda think I'm done.

What in the world is this trading system? I need to destroy 4 cards of 1-star rarity to trade one of those same cards.. So I essentially need 7 copies if I want to trade one and still keep 2.. And the same has to be true for the person I’m trading with?

wreck it ralph thank you GIF

Well there goes my chance to get the last 15 cards I'm missing... Really stupid trading rules

Most of them are diamonds though, I need to look up the requirements for those

The trading feature is fucking TERRIBLE. I was looking forward to that more than I was the new expansion.

Anyways, I'm gonna mess around with a couple dragon themed decks in solo once I get all the new cards I need to see how it goes. I really wish we had more than 15 deck slots.

Trading on the 28th
Gen 4 expansion on the 29th


I got almost 300 hourglasses saved up and ready.


btw. anyone who expected the trading feature to work any differently than it turned out to work like, clearly never played a GaaS Mobile game before... which is honestly enviable lol

dude, Aerodactyl has to be the rarest fucking card in the game.
I have all of the other standard cards form that pack except Aerodactyl...
I have 5 fucking full art Vaporeons, 4 full art Dedennes and multiple other full art variants... BUT NOT A SINGLE FUCKING AERODACTYL...

haven't even seen a single one in the wonder picks yet. the fuck is going on? 🤣

I have 5 trading tokens, since I've never traded before. Out of all your cards, these are the ones I can trade you:

#75 Starmie (2 diamonds)
#82 Omastar (3 diamonds)
#100 Electrode (2 diamonds)
#125 Hypno (3 diamonds)
#152 Marowak (2 diamonds)
#173 Golbat (2 diamonds)

These are the cards that I need (I need more but you listed some I need too):

#036 Charizard EX (4 diamonds)
#061 Poliwrath (3 diamonds)
#096 Pikachu ex (4 diamonds)
#098 Magneton (3 diamonds)
#195 Wigglytuff ex (4 diamonds)

Lets get the 3 diamond ones done? I can also trade you the 2 diamond ones after as I have duplicates of those.

Wtf am I supposed to do with 3 extra Pikachu Immersives? Tons of dupes. 😐

I just need a Marowak EX (4 D's) to finish the set. I think I'll just keep doing Mewtwo packs until I get it, eventually.

Trading is a scam. Fuck that shit.
