I love that Serebii has preview videos now. As someone who works in the YouTube industry, one little constructive criticism recommendation for Joe and how you can improve future videos, slow down just a little when you talk, you're talking so quick it's sometimes hard to clearly make out every word and some words and sentences got slurred together. This comes from a place of love, not hate. I love to help content creators succeed.

Awesome overview Joe! Can't wait to dive into Pokemon TCG Pocket!!! The artwork that's been made are out of this world, so so good! - fingers crossed we see some of these made into physical cards!

[Metalfear]

I can't wait for this game! Thank you for the insight Joe - especially around the battling. I wasn't sure how that would work but I am glad they are making it easier/friendlier for people getting into it.

As someone who really liked Yugioh Duel Links when it was newer, I'm SO excited for this! The full TCG has always taken too long and had a few sore points for me, like the energy system and how hard it is to build decks. This game solves a lot of those issues for me, so I look forward to it greatly!

[Shadbolt]

Glad the battling is a simplified but ultimately familiar system to the paper TCG. One of the main pain points with Pokemon go was the lack of battling on the outset, and that the system was so uninteresting when it did release.

Thanks for the preview

280+ cards for the first set at launch is awesome. I will collect cool cards and build a good deck to battle. Seems like fun.

[deslight]

Ok this video really has me excited. I've already got it pre-registered for download!

[dillonstanley]

I assume the energy generator is due to limited deck space. 20 cards doesn't leave much room for energy cards.

game looks great. i really hope it doesn't only have gen 1 pokemon for long. most of my favorites are from later gens.

Hello! Great video and thanks for the video preview! I too didn't know you had a channel now, I've been a fan of your site since I got back into Pokemon with Diamond on the DS back in the day! Your site is invaluable and tremendous source of knowledge and guides I've used over countless years.

One piece of constructive criticism, slow down! I don't know if you were reading off a script, nervous, excited, or all of the above (I completely understand), but I would just slow it down. We are fans of you, we're here and excited to see you and bring new people in, it was just tough to understand you sometimes laying out that gigantic wealth of information. It felt around the 4 to 5 minute mark you started to get a cadence and it slowed down a little bit and it was easier to understand but I'd even dial it back one more step from that. This is great though, subscribed and looking forward to seeing more videos!

Wow I ain't know u had a channel. Looking up this game and found u. Cool. Subbing up now. 👍🏿

Finally a preview of this game that is less than 15 minutes long. Thank Arceus Joe talks and the speed of light.

Nice haircut Joe 😉 all joking aside this looks so cool! I wonder if you can collect special cards by attending events such as EUIC or worlds or if they will give out a code to redeem one! Love the psyduck plush 😊

[Eukira]

Would be nice if they add summoning animations like Yugioh did on Master Duels.

[chrisroberts]

Glad to see you doing more videos, but advise: talk a little slower. 😊

Excellent video overview! Thanks very much for sharing such an in-depth look at the game. As someone who's mainly just collected the TCG cards over the past 20+ years verses playing competitively, this app seems like it's exactly what I've always wanted in a mobile Pokémon TCG experience.

My only question is if the "9.99" premium pass is the monthly price tag? If so, do you know yet if it's possible to reduce that cost if you purchase the pass over a longer period of time (ie. 6 months or 12 months)? Also, were you referring to GBP or USD when quoting the price?

I've never been a fan of directly buying in-game currency but I've honestly really appreciated Pokémon Sleep's premium subscription (even if it's still a bit too pricy for my liking). There's a very high chance that I'll throw money at TCG Pocket's subscription, too, if it's not outrageously expensive. XD

[tripled]

The part that keeps throwing me off is that the layout and frame of the cards is so clearly just the sun/moon era card frame, it's still wierd to me.

[Muyo]

Im so hyped for this game! Can’t wait to try it🎉

[azerty]

It looks alright but I don't really see myself getting into it, looking at the preview match I can't see strategy having much of an impact

They auto generating energy on the other hand is a pretty cool concept and I think I will experiment this as a way to play the tcg irl

[Absbor]

time to widen my phone storage to collect pokemon cards - digital edition!
(i'm too dumb to play them, lol)
