Pokémon Trading Card Game Online
 
http://www.pokemontcg.com/images/site/nav_overlay.png?1297132565

Well, today was the launch of the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online website.

I have never played the TCG before but afetr playing this, I may actually get involved in this game.

What do you think about it and is it a definite plus for Pokémon?

Discuss!

I'm waiting on interactive online play so that there becomes a way to play against other players worldwide with metadecks. Not that playing against others will happen for a while yet. :<

As it is, it's pretty cool, though.

It is really, really impressive. The interface is surprisingly slick, the AI is noobish but not completely inept, it's fun, and it's great practice. For a beta version this is actually very well put-together, and my mind is boggled when I think about the nightmare it must have been to program the AI to not be completely stupid, and to make decent choices when there are so many combinations of plays to choose from. Obviously I'm excited for the prospect of playing others online with customized decks, but this will certainly tide me over until then. It's really a great opportunity for both beginners and competitive players to practice their skills.

I also noticed that there was an option to change the difficulty from the default level.

The default seems to be hard with the "Dynamic" checkbox checked. Not sure, though, since I've already done 5 matches so the game may have adjusted to my skill level somewhat.

Rocket_Executive March 26th, 2011 10:07 PM

Yeah I'm not sure what dynamic is supposed to mean, I'd be surprised if the game was able to adjust difficulty levels based on your performance, impressed definitely, but surprised.

Is anyone else having trouble with crashes and freezing? It's been happening lots since I turned off animations, so I turned them back on. I got through one game, started the next, got Typhlosion out and powered and it froze :disappoin

donavannj March 31st, 2011 6:12 AM

I didn't have any until Tuesday night. It's still in beta, though, so that doesn't surprise me. They probably encountered some issues and had to fix them.

LAF March 31st, 2011 1:57 PM

Yeah I know, it's always when I'm doing the best or just about to win though :/

Wannabe God March 31st, 2011 2:10 PM

I'm pretty much hooked on this game, and it got me back into playing Pokemon TCG. Has anyone noticed the new decks they put up today? YOu need to buy them form the store before playing them online I really want the Serperior one, but when is it going to be put in stores?

Which is your favorite playable deck so far? I like them all, but I'm rather attached to the Water one, as Vaporeon's second attack is beyond awesome, and Feraligatr's Spinning tail is another great bench-destroying move.

Now I'm having trouble getting anything to load, and so are other people, judging by the topics on the forums there.

What I really want to know is if that when the full version comes if they will add 4th gen cards, or if they will jump right into 5th gen. I'm assuming the latter, but I am really disappointed about it since I really wanted a Galactic deck, and a Plasma deck as a substitute is just ick.

Well that sucks. I won 10 matches, I think, before I started running into issues.

Doesn't surprise me. They wanna boost the sales of their new decks. Those decks will be in stores in early May, probably.

I can win with any of the three, honestly. I don't care which I use.

They have some Gen 4 set cards already in there, including Bebe's Search. They'll probably have whatever's tournament legal at the time it's finished being completed. The sets with the SP Pokemon probably will be rotated out by then, and I don't think they'll have any Team Plasma themed cards for a while yet.

The Trainer Challenge is pretty fun. It's too easy for me, but it's still enjoyable nonetheless... when it's not down for maintenance or herping.

Maintenance ;_;

Maintenance ;_;

It's still only in beta, so I expect it to be down a lot for maintenance.

Pokémon TCG Online
 
Well sweeties, has anybody tried playing the TCG Online game on Pokémon's official website? I believe it's still in beta, but it's pretty fun.

Personally, I still prefer the GameBoy Color TCG games. XD



mod edit:
merged from 'Pokemon TCG Online' in to this thread.

LAF April 25th, 2011 4:10 PM

I've played the trainer challenge if that's what you mean. I wasn't aware that the tcg online had started up yet

donavannj April 25th, 2011 4:29 PM

Online PvP hasn't started, but the Trainer Challenge is technically still online play since you have to connect to the internet to play it. ;)

Like I said above (as I expect Shivi or Nick or someone to merge this thread with the other one - hurry up and merge it, the other one isn't dead yet!), it far exceeded my expectations for it.

Taemin April 25th, 2011 8:07 PM

There's an online version now?

That might be motivation for me to actually play it, since IRL I've always just collected instead of battled.

Being able to play Yugioh online is the only reason I know how to duel at all, sooo it might just end up the same with the Pokemon TCG. xD;

Raikou Trainer April 25th, 2011 8:25 PM

You can actually access the PvP version, but it requires a code that you can find in some Black & White booster packs (hint: Look in booster boxes at your local card store, not at Wal-Mart/Target!). However, I've heard that it won't be accessible until later today, and it's only a beta version. The full version won't be out until this fall.

As for the Trainer Challenge, it was actually nice to go back and play with basic starter decks.

Taemin April 25th, 2011 8:34 PM

Also, Jeremy..

This thread, is pretty much the same as this one, which is still alive and kickin' for a few more days, sooo I'm gonna go ahead and merge them.

( You can now ignore that this post exists. xD )

pmarckoue April 27th, 2011 6:23 AM

I uploaded the Leafstorm deck onto it, and I'm owning every trainer I battle lol

Well, it is built with a bit more strength to it than the default decks have to start with, if my memory serves.

DeckCadetTzipi April 28th, 2011 12:27 AM

Does anyone have a link to the TCG online?

LAF April 28th, 2011 12:52 AM

Just go to pokemontcg.com :)

cazzler April 28th, 2011 6:13 PM

Oh my god, I've never played pokemon trading card games and had no interest in them until I saw the pokemontcg site, now I'm hooked and I wanna collect cards now lol I also think it's neat that you could put up cards by redeeming a code from packs.
