Pokemon TCG Pocket is a game where players obtain cards of numerous types of Pokemon and use them for battle or for collecting and display purposes. While a good number of people use them for fights, there is also a great number who simply wish to show off what they managed to contain. It is because of the latter that there is a certain Pokemon TCG Pocket feature that fans have requested to be overhauled, as doing so would mean an improvement in how people can showcase what they've managed to collect.

The Community Showcase feature in Pokemon TCG Pocket allows players to share the display boards or binders they've created, allowing others to view the different arrangements and like whatever they deem appealing. However, a popular post on the game's official subreddit stated a particular issue regarding the previews of whatever people have created. Currently, the cards are separated from their backdrops and sleeves, leaving a lot of space and forcing people to tap on whatever work they wish to see in all its glory. While not a particularly huge concern, developer DeNA should consider it as improving the previews can help the game find more success than it already has.

Why Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Showcase Preview Should Change How It Looks

Players have called for an upgrade on Pokemon TCG Pocket's Community Showcase preview feature, wanting the game's developer to lean toward changing the usage of space and card positioning. If it happens, the update will likely be highly appreciated, and it could even improve the player's experience as it brings benefits such as:

  • Better emphasis on the effort of each player's showcase as the lack of unused space can ensure that others have a clearer picture of what they could be in store for
  • It lets players go through each preview faster, giving them more time to view other works in the hopes of seeing something that they will really like.
  • People will likely be using the feature more due to the better presentation, giving them more reason to spend time in the game.

Such a quality of life change for Pokemon TCG Pocket' s Community Showcase is something that DeNA may want to seriously consider, as it's clear that doing so would only be what's best for the game. If done right, it could attract even more people to play, ensuring the community remains strong and the developer's game remains relevant.

How to Further Improve the Change to the Community Showcase Preview to Make It Even More Appealing

Changing the appearance of the Community Showcase previews is a good way of making the feature more attractive, but the improvements shouldn't be limited to just looks. What the game's developer can do to complement the design alteration is to provide an option that lets players filter whether they want to see only the display boards or binders of Pokemon TCG Pocket. Some players would rather see one over the other, and giving them the option to choose which ones are always on display when going through the different works will allow them to appreciate the feature even more. Being able to filter between the two can also make the Community Showcase feel more organized, further enhancing the experience of the people who decide to use it and possibly making them want to take even more advantage of it.

The Community Showcase preview change is likely one of the things players expect from Pokemon TCG Pocket in 2025, as the benefits it brings and those who gain from it can be seen as too good of an opportunity to pass up. While there's no telling if The Pokemon Company and DeNA are even considering having it done, players can only wait and see if the developers have heard the concern and do something about it in a future update.
