Ratings and reviews

While a redesign of the battles compared to standard play was a great idea, they totally dropped the ball when it came to balance. Be prepared to play against the same 3 or 4 decks every season with little variation. For some reason, lower ranks make you play against bots. The premium pass isn't worth the money at all, and trading sucks. The only good things to say are that the game works and if you like the idea of some free gambling on finding cool cards, maybe you'll have some fun.

The go second advantage is not as significant as I initially thought. Even so, the turn order advantage could be flattened by releasing more cards that allow deck builds that want to go first. Then let the coin toss winner decide who goes first, and the turn order advantage problem goes away. It is impossible to read the Pokémon in the top left corner of a stage 1 or 2 card. It's difficult to click on a card during battle to read it. Otherwise, there is a lot to like.

Extremely simple, artwork-driven game with almost no content except for a thousand kinds of premium currency and heaps in-app purchases. This feels very much like a loot box cash-grab aimed at children. The battling feature is fine for the most part, but you can't attack or even attach energy on turn 1. If you go first, you will be a turn behind for the entire game, and will probably lose. Also the coin flips are really rigged to fail for some reason.
