As an app, it's fine. Some graphical errors now and then and the battle pass UI can be somewhat of a mess what with like 4 different forms of freemium currency, but that's probably expected now with free games like this.
The Pokemon TCG itself is just in a really crappy state at the time of writing this. It doesn't feel like there's a lot of flexibility with deckbuilding, but that's just my experience. Everyone that loves whacking off Charizard so much is a FRAUD and a FAKE FAN

A good FREE way to get started on modern Pokemon TCG since its straightforward and the app gives you decent starter decks. However the Pokemon TCG Live app itself has a lot of annoying issues
-The store system SUCKS, no way to manual search
-The Gem system sucks as well. On one hand no "pay to win" is nice in theory, but the time limit Battle Pass sucks for people who cannot commit to playing at least 1-3 matches a day.
-Due to being forced to Pokemon TCGs very limited formats, can get repetitive very easily. No way to have a "free play" of older cards with friends.
-Occassional days when app just doesnt work for almost a whole day potentially ruining dailies
Otherwise its servicable for an official free to play TCG app, provides all the modern legal cards , pack opening luck is "OK", and at least you can put physical starter decks you got in the app through codes (even if they're not Standard legal)

i am ADDICTED to this game. Not this game, specifically, but the actual trading card game. My experience with Yu-Gi-Oh, which was incredibly negative and had me staring in the mirror like the Damaged cover art, didn't completely turn me off of card games entirely. So I figured, "I'll give Pokemon and Magic a shot." Magic I am still entirely confused by, but not turned off of, but Pokemon I am in LOVE with. This card game is so much fucking fun to play with my friends.
More specifically, my partner! We have been bonding over this game and playing it every night, going to the game shops in Omaha to buy cards and test out new decks. It has been awesome! This is the crazy thing though: I have no real interest in Pokemon otherwise. As a kid I only liked the show and Pokemon Stadium, and a few years ago I REALLY loved Pokemon Unite as a much leaner and more fun League of Losers, but other than that? I couldn't have cared less about these Pocket Monsters.
What changed? The format did! I like the structure of the card game, as it is truly turn-based and there are no instants and spell cards (Instants I don't really have a problem with since you HAVE To spend a resource to use them, whereas in Yugioh you can just get fucked for free.) each turn feels more focused on getting your best cards into your hand as fast as you can, so you can build up a supply of firepower to blast your opponent to kingdom come while hoping they don't find a way to throw a wrench in your plan. Honestly, having your plan derailed might be even more fun, because it then becomes a game of improvised strategy. "OH fuck, they took away my Switch card so I'm going to have to retreat, but I can use Dialga's ability to get that energy back, so I just need to get Corviknight on the field and I can turn the tide again."
Also this version of the game is pretty cool. The battle pass sucks ass, and it gives you coins that for the life of me I think are genuinely useless as I can't find a way to purchase card sleeves or custom coins or whatever the fuck. I bought sleeves for my real deck for 4 bucks! It was super easy!
I would recommend this game to learn to play, but after that? Go get a deck and play some friends, as it is so much more exciting that way.

it's just the pokemon card game so of course the gameplay is fun but man why does every fucking game need to have a battle pass now
en si me gusta el tcg de pokemon pero la optimizacion de este juego es muy mala
he perdido mas partidas porque se traba el juego que porque me ganar justamente
y el diseño del propio juego ( no de las cartas) es muy simple , aburrido y monotono. literalmente yugioh duel links tiene un mejor diseño de escenarios

This game looks like it would be so cool but it straight up can not get past the loading screen without crashing.
