It’s midnight. The room is pitch black. I crawl carefully into the bed, so as not to disturb the shapeless lump of children that may be somewhere near its center. I miss sleep but I can’t turn my brain off. I pull out my phone and out of the corner of my eye I see a petite notification that my booster’s endurance has been charged. My finger touches Pocket Pokémon TCG icon to open the game and claim your rewards. The featherlight of a hundred dying suns immediately fills the room.
Even on the phone’s darkest setting, Pocket Pokémon TCG it’s clear as hell. When I open packages in the morning and fight for Lapras and the coffee cools, a attractive graphic of creatures from the mobile card game pops out thanks to the glow of the window. However, when I try to sneak into a session by mixing formula or rocking the baby to sleep Pocket Pokémon TCG opening is like shooting a phosphor flare right into your eyeballs. At some point, every game probably has over 30 million the players realized how completely absurd this is.
“I hope they add a dark mode,” one player wrote on Reddit during Early Access. “Will they ever introduce a ‘dark mode?’ – wrote another player after the game’s release. “Dark Mode PLEASE,” the Halloween appeal continued. “Hot Take: Can We Have a Dark Mode UI?” someone called a few days ago. “I’m a designer and I wanted to save everyone from blindness with… dim mode!” – wrote a fan today next to his mockup. It looks like every other dark mode app on my phone. I need it now.
There are several reasons why the status quo exists Pocket Pokémon TCG is particularly bad. First of all, there is just a lot of white space in this game. Loading animations and default backgrounds look like they’re made of pearl. The result is like driving face-to-face with an oncoming car with nauseatingly bright LED high beams that never actually passes by. Second, because all this light is emitted, Pocket Pokémon TCG it completely destroys my phone’s battery life. A five-minute match ticks off my counter by many percentage points. Before I know it, everything shuts down my Charizard has reached the fourth energy.
Pocket Pokémon TCG I need a lot of things right now. Single person card trading, this feature is missing but will be listed as available soon. Also emotes, i.e. any other way of communicating with opponents during matches. How else can I troll people when they make a mistake or when their Misty turn immediately turns tail? But more than any of these things, Pocket Pokémon TCG I need dark mode. I let my premium free trial expire today. If it were available in dark mode, I can promise I would do it again. The undisturbed sleep of my family and my cornea depend on it.
