“Pokemon TCG Pocket” Now Out Globally: Full Guide, New Accessories!

Got it a couple hours ago and I've been enjoying it so far for. Opened quite a few packs, done some wonder picks and tried a few of the battles against the AI. Haven't tried making my own deck or anything yet.
 
I've played it for a bit, and while the battle mechanic will obviously never compare to the real thing, the artwork was nice and the ap seemed really well made
 
For anyone still having issues with being region locked ( a lot of people in CST are for some reason still), change the REGION on your iphone/ipad DEVICE in SETTINGS to UK , open the app, link your nintendo account, and then exit, change the region back to whatever, and then you should be good
 
After playing it for a while, I am surprised how many logical changes have been implemented to the game's formula. There's a lot of parallel thinking going on here between what I thought would be good for the game, and what was actually implemented.
However, the design of some cards absolutely ruins the experience. The designers seem hell-bent of implementing aggressive coinflips, making most games completely random and not in control of either player at all.
 
I honestly think the battle dynamics have to improve to make this worthwhile, bc as it stands it's just way too linear and tool cards are not really relevant at all. Way too much coin flipping and repetitive matches. Pull rates also seem extremely bad. So far it seems addictive in all the manipulative bad ways, and not because any one mechanic is super strong or appealing.
