Summary
- A player proposed a carousel interface for all expansion booster packs in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
- The community discussed the potential change, discussing possible drawbacks.
- The developer currently appears to have no plans to change the interface.
A Pokemon TCG Pocket player has suggested an interface change that would put the booster packs of all the expansions in a single carousel. Pokemon TCG Pocket brought the success of physical Pokemon cards to mobile devices and became a hit with fans. However, one of the aspects of the game that often frustrates players is its interface.
However, despite the heated criticism, the community also shares its ideas on how to improve it. One of them is a different way of viewing Pokemon TCG Pocket cards that players haven't pulled yet, making it easier to chase specific missed cards to complete a collection. Another much-requested feature is the addition of dark mode, making the game experience less tiring for the eyes. This time, another Pokemon TCG Pocket player offered an idea for improving one of the game's features, and the community shared their thoughts.
Pokemon TCG Pocket Players Want a New Item Card
Pokemon TCG Pocket players want a new item card to be added, as, according to them, it would be a great help when facing certain cards.
On Reddit, user Vaucha shared a mockup of the Pokemon TCG Pocket interface that shows the packs of all expansions in a single carousel. In the image caption, they argue that this format would save the hassle of tapping so many times to switch between the Pokemon TCG Pocket expansions only to open a booster. Another suggestion they gave is for the devs to add a summary of pack points, the points players get from opening packs, and use them to exchange for cards they don't yet have.
Pokemon TCG Pocket Player Suggests New Way to Open Packs
The Pokemon TCG Pocket subreddit reacted to the post with almost 6,000 upvotes and over 100 comments, giving their takes on the OP's idea. Some were positive about this potential quality-of-life change, considering it better than the current format. However, others were not enthusiastic about the suggestion, seeing problems with it. Their main argument is that this interface would only work better while the game has few boosters and would become very cluttered as more expansions and mini-sets are released. Opening packages is often labeled as “too much work” because it requires players more taps than they think is necessary, so this isn't the first time someone has shared an easier way to open Pokemon TCG Pocket boosters.
The game's developer has shown no plans to make any changes to the interface of its card game, although Pokemon TCG Pocket continues to add new features in its updates. With this in mind, players wait to see if this and other quality-of-life upgrades will arrive in future patches and what impact they will have in the long term.
