Bio
I have been playing video games my whole life. While I generally prefer JRPGs, Fighting Games, Platformers, and Visual Novel-ish games... I'll try most genres at least once.
These days I mostly read visual novels though.

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)

Surprisingly well built for an official trading card game app.
-Covers a lot of formats
-Pack opening feel relatively fair
-Seems to get into the newer sets for Standard quick enough
-Can play against CPU to test deck out
-Gives FREE good enough starter decks for all 1-2 color variations
Main flaws relate to the repetition. I'm generally not a fan of free to play "daily tasks" and making the tasks of getting cards limit to color decks gets old and feels more like a chore.
Also like others have said, when you play enough you start to see the repeition of decks that do well, especially in ranked.

The battle system is unique in that every character is OP. Graphics and rollback are the ArcSys standard. Sadly lack of roster options and single player stuff make this nowhere near the usual quality of ArcSys.
