I’ve managed to play satisfactorily for a year without spending any money.

How are they making money on fake digital cards?! You have to eespect the hustle …

Anyone who thinks the mainline games are out for profit above all else is kidding themselves.
It’s all these secondary elements which earn the big money

Just another gacha game sadly. It had a lot of potential, but they’ve not really added any kind of in-game tournaments or meaningful events. You open 2 packs a day, close the app, and repeat.

The real cards are still way cooler to collect but I do like the unique art that the game gets!

How many of those sales went to actual fans rather than scalpers

Man, how I wish I was the one that thought up Pokemon. Franchise makes so much money!

It’s a shame I can’t just scan my collection and have them in game, otherwise it’s been very good.
Haven’t spent a dime yet.

I can’t parse these numbers anymore. Is this high? Low? The numbers have long since lost all relation to reality.

And fans will still make excuses for the budget of the games

I was playing and winning when Starmie EX was in the current boosters. Come 6 more booster and finally I couldn’t keep up with the whales anymore. Stopped playing after that.

Enjoyed the game as 100% F2P. I prefer spending money on the real life cards. <3
