Hello! I'm still pretty new here, but I'm always looking for people to play Pokemon with. Whether it be video games, or card games, I love them all! This time, I'm curious if anyone plays online? I do.
If any of you play too, feel free to leave your usernames! Mine is ItsJilly. I don't use EX cards, and I'm always looking for other people who prefer strategy to overpowering a deck with all legendary or EX cards and such.
Also, for those who don't play online yet, you may want to start! They keep improving the game, and there are more users now than ever. It's a great way to have fun and figure out strategies for decks. I'm going to list some facts about the online game that you may not know. Read on if interested!
"I don't want to or can't afford to buy actual booster packs to get codes to play."
First of all, I'm sure a lot of people are unaware that you do NOT have to buy booster packs in the store to get codes for more than just the basic cards they give you online. They have changed the system so that you get a free random booster pack every 5 days you log on.
"Ok, free booster packs are cool, but every 5 days? That will take forever!"
They also give you play coins on the other days you log in which can be saved and used to buy virtual booster packs of your choice out of the online shop. You can also earn more coins by playing the 1 player challenges, and ranked matched against other players. The only catch to the packs they give you is that you cannot trade the cards.
"Yeah, but trading is one of the best parts of the games..."
True! There is a new way to get packs for free that are trade-able! They host tournament competitions at certain times in which everyone can compete and win free packs! You can also use theme decks.
If you really want to be able to trade cards and such immediately, you unfortunately do need codes to get packs immediately. But even if you don't have much to spend, there are many online retailers such as ebay where people sell lots of just the code cards for super cheap! I have bought them before and saved lots of money
"Those tournaments to win free packs to trade sound interesting. When can I join?"
Some of us here in the thread have been posting tournament times as they become available. They are still in the testing phase, so they come around every 1-2 weeks or so. Check back, and log onto the game to see if they have an update for the next tournament time!
"What is that prize wheel, and what does it do?"
The prize wheel is a new addition which allows players to win free items! After a match, you can spin the prize wheel and win anything from extra play tokens, to gameplay items, and even rare cards!
Hopefully I have piqued some interest in the PTGO. Feel free to ask any other questions or chat about the online game here! I have been playing it since beta. Looking forward to seeing you all online!
***Also, check this space in the future. I will update more new features as they release them!
