Between the buying and selling characteristic lastly being fastened and an entire new set of playing cards to play with, I wasn’t anticipating one other headline to come back out of the launch of Pokémon TCG Pocket’s newest set. It was all trying constructive just some quick days in the past, and but, there’s now illustration controversy.
We received’t spend too lengthy on that, as a result of it’s neither an Eevee nor a Lucario. The Ho-oh Ex and Lugia Ex illustration from the brand new Knowledge of Sea and Sky set has been eliminated as a result of they regarded stunningly much like some fan artwork. The Pokémon Firm launched a press release saying it was a case of “incorrect reference materials” and acted accordingly. I doubt they’ll ever admit there was ever something greater than that, so we transfer on to the enjoyable stuff.
It’s unhappy instances since we have now formally left the Eevee Grove period, however not less than we have now a ton of enjoyable playing cards on this Johto-themed set. And truthfully, the place do we start? There are a heap of attention-grabbing playing cards this time round. Let’s begin with the funniest one: now you can take away a fireplace power from a foe utilizing the “Squirt Bottle” instrument, a Squirtle watering can. The psychological picture is hilarious to me.
Followers of coin flips will need the Will Supporter card, which ensures a heads on the subsequent flip, handy for our subsequent Pokémon. Lanturn ex’s three-energy assault offers 80 harm and flips a coin. This paralyses your foe if heads, or confuses them if tails. Both approach, you might be positively inflicting some havoc.
Lastly, the factor I’ve been praying for ever because the cursed factor got here into existence: a brand new buying and selling system. Commerce Tokens have been consigned to the bin, and as an alternative, trades will merely value Shinedust. Having mentioned that, don’t overlook to go to the Restricted Time tab within the Retailer and scroll throughout to Different. Right here you possibly can commerce a few of your out of date Tokens for a restricted variety of Pack Hourglasses, after which the remainder on Shinedust.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is offered to obtain from the App Retailer and Google Play.
