I hope we get those illustration rares IRL (like that LAPRAS), but my hopes have been dashed before with JPN exclusive cards as it is so I will just assume they won't. I don't think the app will have the effect you think it will though. Apps are designed to streamline the process, take away a level of thinking and reduce something down to a low level of play. IRL still requires multiple aspects. You gotta physically be there, spend money on decks (and adjusting for rotation), actually follow and apply the rules of the game. I think the app is a money grab for sure, but it also could be putting the feelers out for what card artworks people want for future illustration rares :U
I've prereigistered for pocket and think I'll try to get into to it, but I would really like point in game to translate to redeemable cards at the Pokemon Centre IRL
I don’t know if Pocket is that bad. Sure people are addicted to phones, but I actually find Pocket to be less intrusive than others. It’s really just about opening packs - and if you’re good with self control being able to open two a day for free is pretty quick and simple, you could open them right before bed. It’s like what 2 min of your time? Versus something like Sleep or Masters EX that are much more intrusive. You can also trade cards with others digitally with friends close by or far off. Pretty much what we all do as physical collectors now
RE: Pocket - I'll probably download it and try it out initially. Then let it rot on my phone like POGO, occasionally checking in for special events but otherwise not partaking.
It is clear hat the mobile game is not going to last more than a year. It is masters, quest, cafe, magikarp jump, dash, etc etc etc. It will short circuit day 1 and not be used enough week 2.
I really love the acorviart too!!! It is very graphic! I love!!! The simplicity in something so complex is gorgeous.
This Magneton, alongside the stellar Tera Pikachu ex would be fairly unstoppable and perfect for any electric deck
Idk why but these guys make me happy 😅
