If Pokémon Pocket has a market place, would you digitally collect?

In my case, it’d be a half true …
Despite I’d install the app and open the 2 daily boosters the app might give you, I don’t have any interest in spending real money in this application …

Honestly I find more interesting collecting physical cards than digital cards …

Two free packs a day I’d be open to it for sure. But only if it’s free. We’re already midway through 2024 so maybe some news soon

I wonder if it’s gonna end like Sleep …
They announced the game years ago and it was just released last year …

No. I don’t like NFT’s.

Unless there’s a physical card tie-in.

Genuinely curious why digital trading cards interests you. Would you mind sharing?

I used to be a big PTCGO collector, I had the rarest stuff in it and then Pokémon destroyed it. I really like games with a marketplace. I was also big in CSGO as well.

I can’t answer for @triple but for me it’s like Pokémon go where it’s just game. It won’t take the place of my collection but it’s fun to open the free daily gifts and participate in free events.

@triple So your main interest is making money? @Charizard1020 Do you like Pokemon-themed apps that give you a routine?

Pokemon consumer psychology is so interesting to me.

Short Answer: Yes

Long Answer: I am passionate about Pokemon as well as collecting rare stuff whether it’s digital collectibles or physical. I am somewhat incentivized by money with collectibles because it gives me a unit value of where I’m at in my collection and something to build off from. If everything was worth 0 I probably wouldn’t be a collector. It’s like playing a video game, you play it to train your character and gain progression stats as you go. If we as humans could see our real life stats and everytime we did a push-up we see our STR stat go up, more people would probably work out because you are making visible progress. Sorry weird analogy.

Possibly, it all depends on how well it is executed. If the app has the ability to easily battle against friends, a good looking interface, and includes vintage sets, I would gladly spend 5 bucks on it. Over the many years of ptcgo, I probably spent around 20+ dollars or so on codes. The amount of entertainment in return was well worth it.

Idk if anyone here has used any of the Topps card apps, but I did for a time enjoy collecting with the Star Wars Card Trader one. Racking up daily credits to buy packs and every week they’d add new small sets to collect, including parallel and limited cards. If this were similar to that then I’d be interested. I would love swapping cards with others for fun.

I wouldn’t spend real money for digital cards though. Pokemon already killed one app, so I wouldn’t want to put actual money into anything that may not be around long term.

This is financial advice

Yes I would give it a try but I wouldn’t spend any real money. I like opening packs and if I get to do that for free a couple of times a day, it sounds fun.

I’ll open the free packs assuming that there’s no way to download the immersive cards lol.

But won’t spend any money on it. I’m sure some will.

But then people are doing it for the real card and not the digital one…

But that’s the reason why I don’t collect digital cards - you’re less likely to get officials visit you and take away your collections.

I still don’t understand who this product is for, do kids even want to collect things digitally if they can’t show them off?

I don’t care about online TCG’s until there’s a platform similar to Steam with a game like Artifact where you can trade, sell and use the cards.

No, I don’t trust that any digital TCG app created by Pokemon would have the longevity required for me to safely spend money on it. Apps are sunsetted and shut down way to often for my liking. This is what, at least the second TCG app from Pokemon? When I spend money on a physical card, I know the same can’t happen
