Pokemon Trading Card Game Online

very good strategical game if u can make a perfect deck , chance factor will be limited. Very good point, the game has been continuously progressing Only negative issue is this game requires at least 2 MB RAM I think.

The game is fun and plays as expected. It is literally the trading card game - online. While it does have it's moments in battle when you crush a player with a lesser hand or deck than you have, it also becomes rather dull when you realize that most games already have winners chosen from the start. I have seen it happen countless times where either myself or the player against me will not draw any energy cards at all and be forced to sit idly by while getting whopped on or to just hit the concede button. This is especially true for the way OP decks like Mach Strike, where all you need realistically is one Gible and a energy card to evolve into Garchamp and the pain is even worse if you or your opponent has not drawn any energy cards to fight back. So while every now and then you will get the rare experience of a well balanced hand on both players ends', most of the time is spent just hoping you will pull an energy card and a worthwhile Pokemon and also hoping your opponent will too. Unless you are a fan of easy wins and frustrating losses, or a die hard Pokemon TCG fan, you honestly probably will not be as amused by the balance issues the game suffers from. While it can be argued the game is all luck of the draw, the IRL Pokemon TCG matches are typically fairly spot on and balanced, leaving one to wonder if the game suffers from a poor and underdeveloped algorithm or if that "luck of the draw" and lady luck just really, really dislike players online more often than not.

Please note that I've only played the PC version, never the iOS. If you already play the physical card game and you have code cards lying around, this game is a great experience that I highly recommend. If you don't, however, probably steer clear. You obtain cards by entering those code cards into your account, or buying them with virtual money earned in-game (Though you're given a few free starter decks). If you're trying to make a deck with nothing but the cards you've purchased in-game, the game is probably going to ****. but if you're a Pokémon TCG veteran, this is a great alternative to the game when you're alone. It's fun, it's free, (kinda) and now it's on the app store.

Gorgeous art but the game is awful, 0 strategy. Each player has to think only about his turn, you have 0 chances to interfere in the opponent's turn.
