Pokemon TCG Pocket's Community Showcase: A Visual Critique
Players are expressing dissatisfaction with the visual presentation of the Community Showcase feature in Pokemon TCG Pocket. While appreciating the feature's concept, many find the display of cards alongside sleeves underwhelming and visually unappealing due to excessive empty space.
Pokemon TCG Pocket faithfully recreates the physical Pokemon Trading Card Game experience on mobile, allowing players to open packs, collect cards, and battle. The game boasts a comprehensive feature set, including a public Community Showcase to display collections.
Despite its popularity, the Showcase's visual execution is generating significant criticism. Reddit discussions highlight the issue: cards appear as small icons beside their sleeves, rather than integrated within them, leading to a perceived lack of visual impact. Some players suspect cost-cutting by developer DeNA, while others speculate the design aims to encourage closer examination of each display.
Community Calls for Showcase Improvement
The Community Showcase in Pokemon TCG Pocket allows players to exhibit their cards with various themed sleeves, earning in-game tokens based on the number of likes received. However, the current presentation, with cards relegated to small corner icons, is widely considered disappointing.
Currently, there are no announced plans to address these visual concerns. However, future updates will introduce virtual card trading, expanding the game's social interaction.
