The Pokémon Trading Card Game Online Will Sunset On 5th June

UNO, out.

RIP, good game with a horrible UI. The fact that trading was a big part of the meta is something that will be missed IMHO.

...Why do you report on this, you keep making us think something was announced for Switch or something...

Enjoyed this for a fair while, but eventually it just descended into whoever got to play the most overpowered EX cards first. Don't know if that's just indicative of the state of the card game in general but it always felt wildly imbalanced.

Wait, it launched? Huh. Never noticed.

@Joeynator3000 This is a gaming news site. They report gaming related news. You rather they report non gaming news and repost it multiple times in a week like Gamespot on Facebook does?

@Rooty Sorry you had that experience. I really dislike the way that everyone seems to use the same ‘good’ decks. There are so many cards, so much variation in what you can create, but most players just want to win.

The good news is that the game was actually pretty good at matching you with players (decks really) of your level. All of my decks, no matters how well or badly designed, seem to have a 50:50 win ratio. And then there was theme mode, where everyone was forced to use prebuilt decks of similar power level, so was all down to you and not your cards.

The bad news is that that’s now going away. There’s now a rank ladder and theme deck mode is dead and gone. All competition, no fun or strategy.

Short answer: if that’s what you disliked before, there’s no reason to go back to it now.

@xshinox .....NINTENDO Life.

So not going into it was a good choice. How about the value of physical cards though? There were decks you could download with a code if you had bought physical cards, aren't people upset about that?

They should’ve just done a major overhaul of TCG Online.

I didn't even know this existed.

Not looking forward at all to the migration. While TCGO is jank I haven't heard much of anything good about Live. Maybe it's changed in the past few months but I am doubting it.

@Ainze I remember having some really fun times with the game, and the problems it had are in fairness pretty much the same as most online TCGs. It also had a super generous reward track system that meant building a good collection was pretty easy from what I recall. A shame the replacement seems to be a big step backward by all accounts.

I’ve migrated to the successor which is still very beta. And with Pokémon you never know if it’ll stay that way.

But I’m addicted to Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel, so I’ve barely touched it.

This was a REALLY REALLY nice free to play Game, it wasn't there to rip you off.

I hope they'll not change it in the new Version.
Haven't played a few Years, but gladly my Account is still there.

It is also a cool Feature that you can import your real Card Decks.
