Yecch, I’m still not liking the fact that TPCi is sticking with that scrunched-up mobile “friendly” look for the app. Some of us prefer to play the game on other platforms that can actually SUPPORT the traditional PTCG layout and would like to stick to it rather than being forced to adapt to this schlock.
 
"PTCGL will not have in-app purchases. "

So code cards going to continue to be a thing.
Looking forward to this. Pokemons online interface felt a bit dated

The press release says this:

Pokémon TCG Live will be globally released in the future as a free-to-play game with no in-app purchases, and will receive ongoing content and feature updates post-launch.

Its fact sheet says this:

Pokémon TCG Live will be released as a free-to-play game with no in-app purchases, making it accessible for all types of players.
 
Very sad they don't allow trading. In a game like Pokemon, it was great being able to get rid of cards you wouldn't use. I hope they at least incorporate a dust system to craft specific cards like Yugioh because cracking packs is going to be a pain in the ass to build decks.
 
this is hilarious. I moved abroad a few years back, but I know my friends will be happy with this.

How in heck is it going to work without in app purchases?
 
I don't even know the last time I played PTCGO. It was always exhausting be grinding everyday just to get some packs and try to make trades to build a single deck. Honestly, i don't care about all the complaining, I'm really excited about PTCGL! (and, for god sake, PTCGL has a better layout than PTGCO)

There's a dust system.
 
I cant stand that your opponent's cards are orientated the exact same way as your pokemon cards.
That is a huge step backwards. I hate it when you are given an inferior version to replace what you have been using.

PTCGO is the inferior version, you're on crack. Just because Da CARd fAcEs TowArDs YoU doesn't mean the entire game is miraculously dog water. Trust me, PTCGO has way more issues than a cars facing you now..

Magic: The Gathering Arena do the same, and it's the greatest clients to play the card game. Give it a chance bro, that's not a real problem
