A fresh mobile card game Pocket Pokémon TCG has been with us for just over a week, which has given 20 million people time to discover the ups, downs, and completely bewildering mess of gaming currencies. It’s also unfortunately long enough for most people to miss the honeymoon phase where the game throws an endless supply of items at you, allowing you to tear through decks of cards with wild abandon before cutting us off demanding. Phew, our dopamine.
We thought about what makes the game so fascinating, what makes it confusing and how we would like to improve it. We covered the fresh events being added at the start of week two and walked fresh players through the darkened opening moments. And we still play it despite ourselves, because what if we manage to pull out Charizard?!
