It won’t replace the physical tcg, but instead get more people involved to playing tcg and thus, boost the physical tcg in the process.
i agree with this
For me it won’t, I love Pokémon and pokemon cards and I am so excited for this game but why would I spend money on real cards after I have a digital collection. Waste of money.
@@WhateverWhenever888 hell yeah brother i just disliked the shit out of your comment
@@WhateverWhenever888Pal, talk about a waste of money if you would pay to literally collect digital pixels that won’t have any true value. You seem like the type that would find value in NFTs or something.
@@TDS1108Gaming I agree that digital cards or NFT's aren't going to replace or take anything away from physical cards or physical art in general. Please don't be talking about NFT's when you've done no research and no nothing about NFT's lmao. NFTs can be used in many different ways like proof of ownership just as one example.
I think TCGs are looking to move forward with the times. Altered TCG whose KS recently ended also incorporates physical with digital collection aspects.
its going to make the tcg stronger! People would lik to have the physical product after having it in digital collection
Not me
I'm all in on PSA 10 digital cards! 🙃
🤪
I love this rendition of pokemon, and it becomes more accessible to everyone. I hope Pokemon continues its innovations!!! HRO cards are DC COMIC cards that are physical, and have digital matches as well - The digitals let you compete in leaderboards and different reward items, and they can verify you own the digital unlike the physicals. Ive won uncut sheets because of it!
I thought it was a misfire but after hearing ur pov it could be beneficial for the overall hobby. Phenomenal content brotha!
I will probably play it a couple times, but I already play a lot of tcg live so i don't see myself playing a watered down version of it very often. It does seem like a very cool way to gateway casual collectors into playing the actual tcg and also give them a more faster, casual way to play
I dont think replacing physical cards into digital would be a thing. Pokemon tcg is not like virtual card games that doesnt have physical cards such as teppen.
Physical tcgs is always here to stay no matter how many generations had passed for as long as there are communities that support them.
I was indifferent on this.. i think after hearing your view I think it will be a more net positive 😊
Honestly, I echo your sentiment. This is 100% a tactical marketing decision by Pokémon Company to stimulate new interest in the TCG and simultaneously maintain existing interest in this hobby in general. Replacing actual trading cards with virtual ones would be like replacing actual real world things with NFT’s which fundamentally have no actual value. There will always be the allure of obtaining something in real life, and trying to barter or exchange for something. The same can’t be said of the intangible.
Pretty hyped about this actually if you can really collect digitally. I'm sure there will be room for both. Unfortunately this might pull some out from physical if you just look numbers.
I don´t think this will harm the Pokémon TCG at all. Plenty of people will still be interested in physical cards. Also, I believe that if they simoltaneously update TCG live by making the UI better and the app overall more user friendly, they could use TCG Pocket to get more players invested in playing TCG Live and the physical TCGThis could be accomplished by showing the basics of the TCG in TCG Pocket, which could then spark more interest in the Pokémon TCG (digital and physical) as a whole, if executed well.
Personally this makes me actually want to open packs and collect cards in real life even more , the same as the game boy tcg game did , I’ve been wanting to get back into playing as well and I think this will be a great place to start , so yeah tcg pocket seems like a really positive thing overall
I believe digital cards opens up more room for creativity and design of the card itself, and will be well received especially by the younger generation. Who doesn’t love digital blings right?
But the feel of a physical card, the feel of it’s textures, the feel of pulling a chase card in your hand, how the different colours and shine hits at different angles and lighting, the smell of a newly opened pack or box - Digital cards will never replace that.
I doubt it’ll replace the physical tcg. People should love playing and collecting in person!
I feel like if people want to collect pokemon on a digital platform, the obvious way to go is pokemon go. Its way more immersive as you actually catch them yourself. Collectables are a physical asset thats what the appeal is. Creating displays etc. i dont think it will damage the collecting side of the hobby. I get the fear but i think its unlikely.
Big companies (like TPC) continuously analyze future scenarios, trying to predict future political decisions, crisis, wars, etc, in order to make their moves in advance and be prepared. This move could easily be an early response to the fear of a possible "futile cardboard tax" that might be in the air to follow the green delirium. Should it happen, TPC already would have built a solid digital fan base...
I feel feel that tcg live is very friendly welcoming and gives you free stuff throughout the whole season. i do enjoy the game and find it fun
Lol. Take it from your name. "Classic". Physical ones has memories, history, the joy of opening one. And will never be erased from the OG fans. Maybe the new gen will. And its also a good thing though, cause it will introduce the pokemon tcg(physical ones) too to those who didnt knew that there is a pokemon tcg.
I don't mind it. After getting into scarlet and violet base set and 151 that's enough of a money grab. I personally won't ever buy packs again.
Didn't hear anything yet but can someone buy/sell singles in Pokemon Pocket or can they just trade (no money exchange)??
cool that more people will get into the hobby, I hope physical cards don't ever go away though.
It will do both some people will collect in game cards and add more peole to play its nifty if they dont over due it. Limited edition cards extra it will be a money maker
I questioned the possibility of Pokemon TCG cards going digital instead of physical also on my Pokemon Day Vlog. I guess time will tell. I know I will try Pocket but I enjoy the physical cards in my hand 😊
Personally I prefer physical cards because you don't have to worry about having Internet connection also you don't have to worry about servers going down for maintenance Etc. People that invest in cards I don't think they're going to stop. I also don't think they're going to switch to digital cards instead of physical.
Natural progression. I’m betting it’ll help my physical vintage collection
This literally defeats the purpose of pokemon buying their own printing company last year. Or even making the “ change “ to print cards from yellow to silver borders. If they planned to go digital why would they make the changes mentioned.
All these ppl gonna be sad they gave their QR codes away when they turn into digital nft packs that you can sell for $$$
I still have thousands. Going back to late XY/early sun & moon eras. I've been redeeming them in game, building my collection. Hopefully, if they ever make them into NFT packs, they will make the redeemed cards, NFT's as well (retroactively).
The app isn’t appealing to collectors base but rather actual players as digital cards, like any other in-game digital objects or treasures, would never hold its “collectible value”compare to physical cards which you can touch and hold. For one, the app could be gone and lose popularity in a couple of years if it’s not well maintained. Then it may incorporate micro transactions for certain features, upgrades, or cosmetics. The cards may be account bound digital items and TPC can issue as many as they want. There’s no limit in terms of relative rarity and copies.
I want them to print physical copies some of those arts look really nice lol
To me it was nothing about the app itself or the predatory mechanics of getting you hooked with free packs and micro transactions. My problems was the time they used to develop this app when the games are lagging, the TCG game isn’t fleshed out and their site releases are crashing. I just think this was resources they could’ve invested elsewhere to improve their already built concepts.
Forsure giving more exposure to the tcg is a good thing
Code cards have been around forever to collect digital cards and for 99.9% of people they just get thrown out. Don't see this changing anything.
Digital cards have been here for years and hasn’t changed anything this won’t ether.
No shiny, no misprints, no touch, no socialization. Eyes on the screen versus the physical card. Nah, I'm cool with this reality. 😂
Attention Deficit Diss- Furret!!
I immediately thought of Duel Links, and I think PkMn TCG is more well suited for that format of gameplay. It's a more simple TCG, and doesn't require the multi-card combos of 3-4-5 cards as much as it's popular TCG bretheren.
I don’t think I will play the game that much as far as challenging other players, but can see myself opening the app everyday to get the free packs. Which of course is their plan. Also, I hope you will be able to redeem code cards in the game. That might add some value to the embarrassing amount of code cards I have. 😂
this is just like Konami is with Duel Links and Master Duel nothing crazy
Absolutely can't wait for TCG pocket.
They should’ve been NFT’s huge missed opportunity.
You have a good point. Seems like a good marketing move to get more people into playing the TCG. I’m thinking they may have 2 game modes in the app, a simple and the full, to transition new players into the game.
I don’t think Pocket is going to obsolete physical cards. I used to be an avid gacha gamer (mobile games where you collect and roll for characters, which you can use to battle in game). Gacha games are nothing new and the allure of collecting physical pieces of shiny cardboard is different from collecting digital characters and artwork. While people can still use real money to purchase characters, digital assets are also prone to server shutdowns, so they are not as safe of an investment like physical assets. It’s a completely different game.
I actually hope it does I blame stupid scalpers I can’t find any cards
''and it's not like this will go wrong in a few years because like all other youtubers I put all of my eggs in one basket,no!'' *laughter* -''fifi fierce''
Nice background music!
I would still rather collect it phisicaly
Not a chance. Digital cards aren’t even relevant and never will be.
I'm surprised people are attracted to this all that much. I say that - but I probably would get sucked in if I tried it. My life is enough of an overcrowded digital dystopia as it is - thanks though. I'd be shocked, even if this is successful, if it hurt the success of the TCG or the collectors market.
TCG Live is unplayable. I tried so hard to get into it, but it’s designed horribly.
I like digital cards, it stop scalpers
After them killing tcg online and making crap game after crap game I'm just here for the profits fomo brings! XD
I haven't spent a dime on Pokémon go
Pokemon physical cards are a well oiled machine. I collect the cards for thr artwork. I don't play physical TCG. Most of those card players are akward smelly lefties
stats are different, its different from the TCG, dumbest idea ever, they just want to double dip
Clicking on a Screen next to someone else isnt the same Level as playing with Cardboard. If the Community likes that Path and a lot want it i take the other Direction
In commercial if you get lucky or always win must be black but reality in tournaments just white or asian dude😂😂😂😂😂😂
Such great content for the hobby! Bullish on Pokémon pocket! 🤌
I like my collection tangible and classic 🫡
