On a game like this, what were you hoping for? The real world card game requires you to buy packs of cards to play. You're going to have to earn packs of cards in this digital card game one way or the other, and I imagine it's a hell of a lot easier to gain cards by buying them just like in the real world. So what gives?

Guessing similar to the way Magic Arena and Hearth work? Not bad if so

You have my attention...

Free to play.

Haha, right. They forgot the last part "Pay to have fun."

I actually really enjoyed the old game boy version, which you can get on the 3DS virtual console, and will hopefully be coming to Switch too, if the rumours of gameboy games coming to the Online subscription pan out.

But free to play games can fuck right off. The Pokemon Compamy are absolute leaches that will ruin the game through greed.

You did know that there is a Game Boy version without any microtransactions, yeah?

Okay so pump $30 into it and have fun.

You made it sound like microtransactions are the only way a game like this would work. The Game Boy version proves otherwise. Also, it's the 3DS Virtual Console so it's only like $5.

I wanted a game like the GBC games from around twenty years ago. With modern cards.

No, I missed that one. I didn't really jump on board until GBA.

Didn't mean to make it sound that way. It's just that it makes sense given the real world equivalent is packs of cards that you purchase. From my vantage point, at least they will give you a means of obtaining cards for "free." Otherwise, this thing is going no where.

I understand now. I imagine that it's the fact that people can use real money to get more cards and better cards sooner that is dampening your enthusiasm for the game, right?
