i was mad confused when this first got announced an hour ago but looking at it now, it makes more sense
with pokemon go and pokemon masters ex being fairly complete mobile projects, the next generation of pokemon mobile games has been going on (starting with pokemon sleep)
this honestly addresses the two biggest concerns about pokemon tcg: scalping and power creep. with it being purely virtual, there aren't accessibility issues like with physical cards with finite physical limitations. and since this is a spinoff / soft reboot, power creep can at least be slightly reset.
it's like if NFTs didn't severely damage the environment and weren't a ponzi scheme lol
It reminds me of the shift from physical to digital in other areas. For example, I used to be obsessed with finding the best casino bonus deals and would spend hours hunting for them. I found that using platforms with good reviews really helped in finding trustworthy offers. Speaking of which, I recently came across
