My Reactions on the Current State of Pokemon TCG in the PH




  1. The community is still in the process of reviving itself from what it experienced in the past - the numbers/players cant be compared to the other TCGs, I will not even try to enumerate why other TCGs were big since we dont have any control on it.
  2. The availability of and access to the staple card pkmn catcher - every new player I met, and if they want to play competitively, will be looking for it. Even if they had the resources, finding someone who will be willing to sell or trade it is hard. Can we request for a promo league catcher on it or is it too late?
  3. The metagame in PTCG - anyone can always argue on the stability of the metagame, how worst or how better it is for each set released. I think, our metagame can be improved/changed if there will be more positive thinkers than the negative ones, discouraging words like 'the current metagame is full of EX's pokemon' are already given, no need to state it over and over. Evolutions and non-EX cards are still played, right? And you can even win without an EX on your deck. You just need to learn how to play the meta. Let's avoid to welcome new players that they need this EX and this EX, and this EX to win games. Its like requiring boxers to always have a knockout punch.
  4. The league prize support - let's not compare it to other TCGs. Its a flyweight fighting against the heavyweight. We welcome more prize support.
  5. The fun of playing a card game - let's not forget that we play not just to win, we play not just to be competitive, we play not just to have that reputation as the best competitive player. In one way or another, we first found this game, fun and exciting to play and get to meet new friends. Why not try to promote how fun this game was and not how worst it is compared to other TCGs.
