I have never played TCGO before this summer. I have collected physical Pokemon cards since the late-90s but didn't get into playing the card game. I have been buying recent card packs and in each booster you get a code to open a digital pack of Pokemon cards. I held onto them for a long time before deciding, screw it, I'll try it.
I'm at the point where my challenges no longer count against AI. It can be fun or frustrating, depending on your cards and RNG.
My biggest complaint is it's tough starting out PVP. Unless you have codes with REALLY great cards that work in a deck, you're going to lose...a lot. There's no matchmaking. You'll have some "baby" cards getting destroyed by a player with 4 VMAX and 4 GX cards (whatever they have on hand). Until you can purchase decks and booster packs with in game currency. Then you can slowly build your digital collection of Pokemon cards and win battles.
