If you want to get a complete "playable collection", meaning at least 2 copies of every unique card, here's how many packs it took me: 19:26

The god pack has odds of 1 in 2000 so you might have to open quite a few packs more to get one. The glow just indicates a pack with improved odds.

26:50 Physical cards are cool and all, but i rarely find oppertunities in my life to actually play with them. When i have the oppertunity, the experience has left a lot to be desired. I have had more fun collecting and playing on pocket tcg, than i have playing the long winded tcg online, or the hand full of times ive gotten to play in person. This is the collecting and plauing format i dreamed of as a kid, and i cannot wait to start trading

The difference between 2 star cards that have rainbow borders and those that don't is that the rainbow ones are "special illustration rares" (same kind of thing that 1 stars are, but just for ex's) the ones without rainbow borders are full art pokemon/trainers, which are usually a simple render of the character over a relatively plain background

Yeah I get you. Is there a agreed-upon nomenclature we could adapt for all these from the regular TCG? So far I'm thinking this: 1. Gold Holographic - Crown 2. Immersive Full-Art - 3-stars 3. Full-Art Rainbow Border - 2-stars 4. Holographic - 2-stars 5. Full-Art - 1-star 6. 4-diamond 7. 3-diamond 8. 2-diamond 9. 1-diamond

@regispokebin oh yeah absolutely! I can go through the paper ones here: Crown: Secret rare 3☆: none 2☆ (rainbow border): special illustration rare 2☆ (normal border): full art 1☆: illustration rare 4◇: ex 3◇: rare 2◇: uncommon 1◇: common

You can tap on any card in the dex(owned or unowned) to see what pack that card is in. It shows the Mewtwo/Charizard/Pikachu pack icon next to their dex number.

pack opening is such a double-edged sword for me. on the downside, it sucks to rely on RNG to build decks, between packs and wonder picks on the upside, i'm much less inclined to spend money when there's no guarantee on return thanks for outlining the math and whatnot, helps F2P consumers like me make more informed decisions. Godspeed

My main issue with the packs is that it feels like getting the more common cards is weirdly difficult. Multiple times I’ve had two of the higher rarity cards but was lacking 1 or two of the lower rarities. The physical packs have 10 cards and those other 5 cards are usually just commons and uncommons. So this problem doesn’t generally occur with the real packs.

“It feels more like a collecting game rather than a battle game” that’s like majority of mobile games, personally i don’t think it’s an issue especially that’s how i sell Pokémon go / most popular gacha games are. just don’t play it if you don’t like it and let people enjoy collecting their Pokémons in card form.

I’m having similar results with rarity pulls! I’m missing some really basic cards, but have 3-4 of some full arts 🤯 For example: I don’t have a a single vulpix, but I have 3 copies of the immersive charizard ex (no base charizard ex though somehow) 😂 No Pikachu, but I have 4 full arts mewtwo ex (2 immersive, 2 gold, 0 base) 😅

I find the selection of cards included in the initial release of this game so bizarre. It seems like they have every pokemon from generation 1, but then a random smattering of later gen pokemon. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to start with only gen 1 and work up the generations with each expansion? Also, would it be feasible for you to build up your free packs for more big pack opening videos like this, or is that not how it works?

@@WadeAllen001 The EX’s help but the alternative art is just cosmetic. I think the issue is such a large percentage of the cards are just unless fodder. Because of how Pokémon works any base evolutions are just useless waiting to be evolved but must still be in the game.

This math isn't right. You're not accounting for any bonus hourglasses or gold, which you can get from missions, shop tickets, and leveling up. Not to mention a big burst early from solo missions, which may not be replicated for future sets, we don't know. You get more than 2 packs a day on average as a F2P player.

Surprisingly difficult to answer. It depends on how fast you do it, because you get 2+ free packs every day. I think I've spent like $350 or so?
