1. 5/5I love it!

   I have played around a thousand matches this year, and had a whole entire ton of fun [around two pounds per match]. I started playing the TCG at leagues around ten years ago, and don’t go nearly as often now. I don’t know how many matches I played before this year, but I’m guessing it doesn’t come close to a thousand. The Pokémon Trading Card Game is a great game, and the current rotation has so many delightful and interesting cards. Art is great. I’ve always loved deck building so the speed at which I can modify the decks in this game is wonderful. I love being able to play the TCG so easily when in transit or anywhere else that it’s not convenient to set up a table. I enjoy the new credits system. I think the game looks excellent but is definitely slow/choppy at times [likely technology limitation, and I wouldn’t know to what level that can be optimized] and last few sets crashes at game start maybe 1/13 games; crashes sometimes when deck building and building past 60 cards (both crashes happen obviously more often than I’d like). It is possible the crashing issues were fixed in today’s update, I do not know. I can ignore the crashing when giving the game five stars, because I’m having about two pounds of fun every single match.

2. 3/5Love the game but it has some Issues

   I’ve been playing this game a lot over the past few days and have really enjoyed it. I like almost everything about it but there are a few pretty big issues to me. First and foremost, there is no way the coin flips are as random as they should be. Almost every time I play, there are streaks of it landing both head and tails, for multiple games in a row. The next biggest thing to me is the card shuffles. It has to be one of the most annoying things in the game because they are some of the worst shuffles I’ve ever seen. There will be many times, where all I pull is energy for a few rounds. There will be a few times where all you pull are tools/supports for a few rounds. There will also be rounds where you don’t pull a single Pokémon in your first hand, even though there are almost 20 in the whole deck and there’s no way you should at least pull one. These, to me, are the worst things about this game however there’s a few more smaller issues I have. The game has a few bugs. I have lost quite a few rank points now because the game wouldn’t load completely, I couldn’t choose the card I intend to choose, and from games lagging a bit too long and I waste all my play time. Overall, love the game and I feel like it has a lot of potential but I really need these issues fixed before playing much more.

3. 4/5Not All The Hate Is Warranted

   I’ve been playing for a little bit now, and I really enjoy the game. It plays and looks really well, maybe not the best on mobile but runs amazingly on my computer, and overall is a really good game that gets people to get into Pokemon cards and learn how to actually play the card game. However, there are some issues that people complaining about are right to be mad at. The coin flips in the game are really ridiculous. The RNG (at least for me) always felt like it was out to get me and anyone that used a Snorlax card. I would almost never win the starting coin flip, and any time people flipped two coins with Snorlax’s asleep effect I thought they might as well use cards to discard the card or something. Plus, with people reporting that they seem to have crazy streaks of coin flips being either the same side or pattern, its definitely not just nonsense. Also, I had an experience where I just couldn’t attack someone for a turn? Not like just can’t attack on the first turn or unable to attack a Mimikyu with an EX card, just randomly couldn’t use a card’s attack that turn but could the next with basically nothing that could stop me being present. The game has some issues but it’s definitely not too noticeable or problematic unless you’re some hardcore Pokemon card game enjoyer, but if you are that person then you probably already know about this game. It’s definitely worth a shot to play this game.

4. 5/5Ignore low reviews. Game is fine read below

   There is nothing to complain about as far as the quality of this game or the format. It’s set up well and user friendly. The only thing I have a problem with is when you distribute damage counters on an I phone it’s REALLY easy to close the app accidentally, but that’s not pokemons fault. I keep seeing Many people complaining about things like coin flips and shuffles….it happens. It’s not the games fault you have bad luck. Yes it is possible to get heads 5 times in a row, yes it is possible to get no energy in your hand even if there’s 20 in your deck. Tell me you’ve never played a trading card game without telling me you’ve never played a trading card game. Yes they do patch the game when they have to fix something every couple weeks(it’s so you can keep playing😉) and when a new set is released they’ll do another one(that’s to add the new cards). Another complaint people commonly have is that a lot of people use the same decks, Ill explain how METAS work. I ask you this… If you see 3 knights fighting with normal full sized swords, are you going to rush in with a steak knife? No you won’t. You either grab a similar sword to what they’re using (this is META) or you attack from a distance. Pokemon can’t and won’t control what people do in thier game. This is and online version of a trading card game and plays well. That’s all

5. 3/5Can’t Create An Account

   The game is impossible to play. It just says there was an error and asks me to try again. I have not played the game yet because of this. The game is not very functional and after reading many other reviews it appears I am not the only one. Many users are encountering what appears to be the same problem. This problem gate keeps potentially thousands of players including me from enjoying a game that otherwise looks quite fun…based on the videos I have seen. I will give it the closest to average rating as I have not played the game yet and it would be impossible to give an accurate and fair rating. The game may turn out to be incredible but it is certainly impossible to experience this when the game is literally unplayable. This small bug is an ultimate problem. If the gameplay is great and bug free what does it matter if you can’t play the game. It would be amazing if you can’t find what is causing this error since as far as I know I am following the basic requirements to sign up. Hopefully you can help me figure this out. Now back to the review, But is this game actually good? The question still remains. If you are willing to potentially spend many hours trying to just figure out how to get the game started than maybe yes. Otherwise this game may not be for you. A glitch as important as the one mentioned should not be overlooked as it seems it has been done. This game is a pain just to create an account but as I have not played the game it will get the average score of this game (as of this review) 3/5.
