“PTCG Pocket” pokemon coins stare at each other, the luck mechanism attracts a lot of second creations and even the “Jiikawa” painter is fascinated

The Pokémon trading card mobile game “Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket” (PTCG Pocket for short) has exceeded 30 million downloads in less than a month after its release. Even the artist of “Jiikawa” is addicted to it.

As the game becomes popular around the world, players are also encountering many “pain points” in the game. One artist drew details such as “luck determines winning or losing” that made many people smile.

In addition to collecting cards, “PTCG Pocket” can also start PTCG battles. However, the rules are different from the real card version. A “Pokémon Coin” is thrown at the beginning of each battle to determine the order of attack. In the mobile game version, you can use supporters to attack first, but you cannot use hands to attack first. The energy is filled but the moves can be used. The late attacker has the opportunity to let the basic Pokémon deal damage first, putting the “first attack” in trouble.

The Pokémon coins double and double and stare. In addition to attacking first, it also determines many Pokémon skills, output damage and other keys to victory or defeat. Players are trapped in the “half” cycle and cannot extricate themselves. They always feel that they have a chance. Even if you get the half, you don’t know that the unsatisfactory situation is also full of extremely high possibilities.

Among them, the supporter card Xiaoxia can throw a Pokémon coin until it turns tails. During this period, the number of heads is converted into water elements and filled into the designated Pokémon on the field. This move gives the first attacker a chance to deal damage, and allows the disadvantaged player to reverse the victory. .

It sounds like the effect is too OP, but it is not easy to turn heads continuously. More often, it will be tails on the first shot, making players grit their teeth and pretend that the card has not been played.

The front and back of the Pokémon coin also determines the output multiplier of cards such as Zapdos, Leib, Gala Gala, and Coconut Bomb. The moment the Pokémon coin is flipped upside down, the damage of these powerful Pokémon will be unsatisfactory, or even Losing to the basic Pokémon makes players love and hate it, but if it is successfully turned face-up with all its strength, the EX’s Bone Boomerang can even kill the strongest Mewtwo EX in one shot.

Japanese painters Ninako and Jelly are as fascinated by the magic of “PTCG Pocket” as more than 30 million players around the world. They draw the pain points encountered by everyone into comic situations, such as the fast dragon waiting for the lightning element to use the meteor drop, but… A traffic jam trapped a bunch of water elements. Or the basic Pokémon in the third stage of evolution has been unable to wait for its evolved form, etc.

I always want to look at the appearance of the card package and look for the folding details to draw the flash card, but after opening it, even the card is folded XD

It won’t come out in the end though#pokepoke pic.twitter.com/vrPXOh0SaK

Elements and coin tossing have become a lingering nightmare for players of “PTCG Pocket”. On the one hand, they enjoy the thrill of victory, but on the other hand, these mechanisms control the ups and downs of their mood:

What’s interesting is that even the father of “Giikawa”, the Japanese illustrator Nagano, is addicted to card drawing and battle in “PTCG Pocket”. Fans suddenly realized that the recent crazy launch of “Giikawa” peripherals is Because he needs to make money to draw cards.
