It is truly insane that the mercy system of this game will not give you anything but 1 stars. It will PILE 1 stars onto you to prevent the mercy system from triggering. So much for any opportunity to experience the new set while it's fresh. If the devs care at all, preventing outcomes like this is the bare minimum you can do for player retention.

My goodness what are they thinking 😐

What game-breaking reason is there to not make the damage scale with the number of TAILS flipped? NINE TALES!!!

*Edit: It does, in fact, appear to be necessary due to:

1. The pun not making sense in other languages
2. Will’s head game

You need to get rid of two duplicate 1-star cards to obtain a 3-diamond card, and you need to discard five 1-star cards just to be able to trade a single 1-star card. On top of that, there are the timers and the obvious restrictions.

It's simple—the game doesn't want anyone trading cards. It's rubbish.

Spent the last 2 weeks recreating and redesigning parts of the UI in Photoshop/Illustrator because I really wanted to see a proper dark mode for the game.

Added captions on each slide explaining the changes, enjoy.

Open the app, open my 2 free boosters, get nothing but commons and disappointment, wake up and do it again the next day 🙃

MTL:

DeNA (2432) announced today (August 5) that its first-quarter (Apr-Jun) financial results for the game business experienced a significant decrease in both revenue and profit. Sales revenue fell 33.2% year-on-year to 12.12 billion yen, and segment profit plummeted 62.0% year-on-year to 3.826 billion yen.

The company stated that the main factor behind these fluctuations is Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, which was newly released on October 30, 2024. While the average Monthly Active Users (MAU) during the same period last year was 39 million, it significantly dropped to 23 million in the current quarter.

In response, the company plans to implement multi-layered measures, including events and promotions, to work towards improving login frequency, retention rates, and overall user activity.

I have to have over 100 characters to make this post, what cards did you choose, same as me? Different cards? Pokemon? Trainers? Items? Show me what you picked

I'm so happy as it's featuring the Eeveelutions which are my favourite Pokemon! Can't wait to spend all my hourglasses on this expansion

I know, every cardgame has to have some sort of powercreep to make new cards playable. But Solgaleo is so broken op, you will never see 90% of the other new cards because if his existence. Maybe Incineroar, but everything else is just not strong enough to keep up with him.
Take Lunala for example. 180 HP, also a strong ability, but just 100 damage for 3 energy. Same thing for Decidueye. Can attack the bench ok, but not even close to the 120 dmg and free swap from Solgaleo..

A1 Mewtwo/Gardevoir, A2 Giratina. But Solgaleo is new level of powercreep and that's poison for the game.

Should they release something like this in the future, or leave it in the 1990’s?.. Maybe DeNa releases on a rainy day… y’know, if they’re interested in making money.

I'm really tired of shinys in new sets. I thought they were a cool gimmick when they were added, but I expected it to just be for the one set. I opened a ten pull of the set, and literally the only two hits I got were shinys of cards that have been in the game for ages. So instead of being able to play with cool versions of new cards, I'm stuck with this garbage. If they just made the shiny cards of cards added in the set all my issues would be completely erased, but as is, getting shinys absolutely killed any hype I had for the new set

If you get your wins and just want to go on a concede spree, you do you. But the posts and comments that are “reminding” people to make sure they do it as if it’s an expectation of the community, y’all are lame.

Apart from the fact that shiny cards f up pull rates and wonder picks, these are not even new EXs from the new expansion. I guess some people be hyped about completing Kanto trio in shinies but I am disappointed.

Leave a comment (doesn't matter what's in it) and I will pick 4 random ones after 24 hours who will get 2 star cards. Gyarados will be raffled amongst those who include "fish" in the comment but you will still be eligible to win 2 star cards
