As a long time enjoyer of PTCGO ....PTCGL physically hurts to play

I can’t believe they keep putting Ls into these digital versions

almost 3 months after this video was uploaded, I looked up pokemon tcg on the play store, not even knowing about this announcement, downloaded TCG Live, and as soon as it starts up it shows a message warning that there's still issues with starting matches.

I hate getting kicked in the Poké Balls 😮

It really sucks to see all these cool features that aren't coming to Live. Even if you want to argue that this is to get new players into the game, why can't they just add all these things to the existing game? Add a simplified battle mode to the online options, add in trading, retroactively make as many old cards as you can have the "immersive card" feature, and make sure some new cards have it when new sets are released, add in trading, give players free packs for logging in each day, and add in trading (if you couldn't tell it bugs me that a Pokemon TRADING card game app doesn't have trading in it).

Yeah this is a bit rough for both games isn't it?😅

It's funny how PTCGL was never seen in a Pokemon Presents ever since the game launched but yet PTCGP is getting so much attention already. I personally have my doubts about PTCGP being better than PTCGL with the fact the game's simplified and the fact that the game likely will have microtransactions. At least the balancing of the cards should be better which is a plus I suppose. Either way though, I forsee PTCGP getting a lot more attention from PTCG developers than PTCGL especially since PTCGP will likely be actually profitable. And that makes me wonder something. Are you going to be making more videos on PTCGP when it comes out? I sure would find it interesting to see a couple of gameplay videos on PTCGP when it comes with how different the rules are from the usual PTCG experience.

Sad that PTCGL (or its actual replacement) isn't getting this kind of focus. I wish that they handled Pocket similar to Duel Links, change around the duel formatting sure. But take us back to the original sets and work our way to current. Tons of people would have thrown money at the nostalgia and we'd be able to play older formats that we haven't gotten in PTCGO or PTCGL. I guess we just have to pray for twinleaf.

Yep this is the correct take on this whole debacle. What does this do for actual players of the game? Given the huge uptick in tournament attendance you would think TPC would be pumping the dollars into supporting that community rather than a half-assed attempt to compete in an over crowded space.

damn you really said pokemon master sex

I don't get if they wanted to have microtransactions just add it to PTCGL and make it a better game but no they will make a separate game for just that. Nobody would have cried about microtransactions if they had added it in PTCGL initially.

I really hope we still get a casual format on Live and this isn't the excuse not to add one, getting real sick of playing against the same decks

Why are they doing this to us? Why not just completely re-work PTGCL or give us a real TCG client?????

I hope it's easier to access too. Unlike TYPE IN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION OR WHATEVER

this just makes me laugh. the constant reminder that PTCGL is in it's own name, functionally an international only product couldn't be more clear. part of what makes master duel work as yugioh is my surviving card game of choice is the fact that Master duel is fully international and played everywhere including japan and is therefore supported fully, where as PTCGL is just not supported remotely the same by the companies around it's IP. the reason PTCGL is such a mess is that it just doesn't have the funding nor attention, and why would it even when it's been stamped as a fixture of the TCG side. That said Master duel also has polish, has significantly less issues despite the massive card pool, and im utterly biased towards it's version of the crafting system because while it's harder to get all the cards you may want, they designed it in a way that makes opening packs always more interesting to me personally. just a few hours ago i saw a player simultaneously resolve the exodia win condition and the relay soul alternate loss condition at the exact same time, and Master duel actually did both properly despite the fact both cards are 10+ years old in an eternal format card game and relay soul other than being an "anime card" would never likely be played beyond a meme. meanwhile with PTCGL i often lag into my first match of the day, and still can't forget the game influencing glitches like searching, or how long it took for them to fix Toedscruel EX despite it being the premium battle pass boss monster of it's deck at the time. I'm not bothering with Pocket, not in the slightest. sounds like it's not even planned for a desktop release, while master duel again can be played on that too. ehh, maybe this one will run better?

Hey can you help me out here.I have an account but when ever I try logging in it says incorrect and all that stuff but when I go to change it it needs my date of birth and I don’t remember what I put so it’s not letting me log in.What should I do

From watching the video of it, pocket plays the way the "my first battle" decks play

I downloaded Live today, and I think its pretty good? I love that they have a crafting system.

It looks fun and it’s a new free pokémon game. Who cares I don’t know why we complain when we are just getting more Pokémon content.

wake up babe, pokemon nfts just dropped

They need to update live man but it fumble badly

I've been playing TCG live for about 2 weeks now. I'm pretty addicted NGL. The simple fact that there's no micro transactions is just icing on the cake for me. Edit: I just wish there was a function for battling friends... I know there's a friend function but I haven't tested it yet....

Just give me expanded and retro formats and I would be happy, but I really want tournaments/events I can infinite grind on like magic arena does. Do that and make it stable and there would be sooo much less complaining.

At last would accept trades, so multi account would be a thing

I was so excited when I saw this cause I thought it was replacing ptcg live.

all i want is my X Y cards in expanded WHAA

Ah yes The game without micro transactions being left to flounder Whilst the game that will have micro transactions being treated like it’s one of the big boy Pokemon brands

I dont play TCG in any format at all, and I haven't since I was a kid in the 90s/2000s. I've wanted to get into a digital version for years, but the offerings have looked horrendous. Pocket looks like the right game to just casually get into. They know the audience they want and don't really care about the passionate real players. This is a business in which they want to monetize a larger market. Honestly can't blame them for that, and folks like myself will he plenty happy starting a new game regardless of other games out there that are too complicated regardless of functionality.

This seems like a duel links style competitor indeed, but saying that it's "ironic" that this gets more attention and screen time than PTCGL would be an understatement. This further solidifies the theory that PTCGL is just a crapo placeholder for the online client so they can cut costs, compared to previously outsourcing it to direwolf.

If what I'm reading is correct about mechanically new cards exclusive to TCG Pocket, then they likely looked at MTG Arena's Alchemy and vowed to do worse.

Who works on what?

Honestly, i am kind of interested in trying this, though i don't think it is meant to be a replacement to live. I feel like this will play quite different to the regular Pokemon TCG. I'm worried though like with Live, not all phones will be able to run this game. And i don't know if it will have online play, or if you have to directly be around someone to do a match with them. Like there are many questions i have with this game, that i hope will be answered leading up to release. I do think that there was no need to make another one when they are supposed to be putting their time and resources into Live.

LOL THAT'S WILD 😂😂😂😂 IM ENJOYING MASTER DUEL SO FAR SMH

1:09 ???

Sounds like it.

Why don’t we just go back to ptcgo..?😭

Na, it's basically a way they can add super micro transactions to fill the void of the trading aspect and card collecting so they can make a game that is clearly gonna have a big budget so they can take advantage pf everyone who's missing the trading and collecting aspect to the game. In other words they want to make a game that will work perfectly, I assume, as they want to have a great way to dig further in our pockets so or wallet can fill the void of the crap they ripped away from us. While leaving us with a bug riddled low budget game for the real players of the game..

From what I've heard TPC in Japan has nothing to do with PTCGL. It still sucks because PTCGL is a great way to get into the physical game.

Didn't even watch Pokemon day, what the hell is this?

PTCGO was a trash client for 10 years almost unchanging, and they created a community that consistently plays (us now with PTCGL) it no matter how trashy it is. I don't think Live is going anywhere, we're just gonna get the crumbs while Pocket gets the whole cake~

Ugghhhh

uh

Funnily enough Master Duel is a superior experience in many ways when it comes to YGO. But then again vanilla YGO is really really unbalanced. Sadly Live is very likely not gonna be a superior experience to Pocket.

Editable, balanceable, erratable cards, and a revamped Energy system which doesn't *require* massive acceleration to play just isn't allowed; we have to keep exchanging for the two or three good EXs, stack as much consistency as we can, eschew all utility, and be happy with our dailies being bugged and having to play eight more matches to get one Knockout, again. *What would our children say* about being able to play non-Rule Box cards and have fun? No, we need to stick with tradition and reinvent Charizard ex until the next Rule Box Charizard, because that's what a *#GenWinner* does!

Pocket is such an nft scam and im so sick of Nintendo not funding the one that actually matters.
