EDIT - This post has now reached half a year old, which means it will be archived. No longer will you be able to comment. We strongly encourage, and welcome you to join the newest subreddit for Pokemon TCG Live over at: /r/PTCGL :)

Hello friends,

As of July 1st we disabled the ability to create new posts as Pokemon TCG Online has officially been shut down, with the servers going offline. We discussed this last month in a post found here.

However, the ability to comment is still allowed. We did this to keep everything within one place, give you an area to continue discussions of PTCGO, and to allow our moderation team to focus on one area going forward when they check in on everything.

We will allow the ability to comment indefinitely as time permits, and as long as the community here remains safe & spam-free, and that there is activity ongoing.

We may revisit these options if safety/activity becomes an issue, and/or cease to exist. We ask that you please continue to use the Report feature as necessary if you come across any misconduct.

• Please subscribe, and participate in the subreddit: /r/PTCGL going forward if you wish to continue on with the online gaming community of Pokemon TCG Live!

Thank you!

Is this game alive and well? Do people still play this or is it a dead game with no one playing

Hi! It’s possible to create a private server. The json protocol was easy to read when I was reversing the client game. Back when it was alive I successfully get my ELO score and the one from my adversary and code a custom trading client.

We only need time, small team of talents hacker/reverser/coder and multiples clients version (do not uninstall your version).

It should also be possible to add new extension but much harder because of new rules and mechanism form the new cards.

What do you think?

Hello, I am quite new to the whole Pokemon tcg online stuff, and only recently started playing when I realized I could get it on my phone. With that out of the way, I was looking to buy booster codes off of the Ptcgo shop so I can get a few cards and possibly help build better decks, and was wondering which of the boxes should I go for?

I currently play a jank version of Giratina which is mainly the base free deck with a few upgrades, and so im currently looking to either upgrade it or find a reliable deck to climb with.

Thank you, sorry for the long winded post.

As title says

I already have 1 Genesect V, 2 Mew, 2 Deoxys as well as all the trainers and energy except Elena's,Power Tablets and Cram-O-Matic. Currently sitting at 1470 Ceystals.

Ive lost everything, and I am angry. PTCGO servers has been closed and on thier website has been mentioned TCG live. I said OK i will try it. After install and first launch ive noticed these ugly avatars, button for “battle pass” after first fight i have noticed there are missing some my cards i owned and after short research I found these card has been disabled. Next point is- there are missing games against a bots where you can get free booster pack. Conclusion- they are changed fully working game for ugly buggy and crashing game

It's crazy that such a big company like Nintendo actually stands by releasing such a crappy game for one of their highest vauled brands.

I mean, when it works, it works ok. GUI is a bit sluggish and not well design, but manageable.

The game it in self (PTCG) is fun, but I really can't understand how they could hire the guys behind this crappy game engine.

On my iPhone, the initial loading is så freaking slow. The phone also gets very warm much warmer than any other mobile game ever made it. On top of that is all the fucking bugs. That said, most of my games is bug free in a game breaking way, but suddenly something freezes. Like when Im going to pick a card, but cant and the only way to proceed is to conded or just quit the game. Awful experience.

And not to forget the fucking creepy avatars, the way they do the emotes, then return back to a psycotic look right before the end.

They probably should look towards the developers that made marvel snap, thats probably 10/10 perfect mobile game and I am not just talking about the gameplay, but in this comparison more GUI, Loading, few bugs and playability on the phone.

Any help will be apreciated

Or back in the day (maybe 2013) could you type anything in the chat to the opponent? I have a memory of chatting with people in the game, but I don't remember if that was actually a real feature.

pctgo was cool

How can I migrate my account? I’ve played for 10 years now on my account and I signed into ptcgo live and I have none of my stuff at all. Please help me I’m desperate

Hello friends!

With PTCGO shut down, and the newer game of Pokemon TCG Live taking over it's place, this subreddit has served it's 10+ year commitment to daily posting about the game.

I've been brainstorming with the rest of the Mod team, and come up with a conclusion where all of us can be happy hopefully.

Starting July 1st, while we will turn off the ability for users to create new posts, we will create a mega-thread, where you can still have the ability to continue to comment going forward.

Hopefully this mega-thread serves as a purpose for you to all discuss, & reflect back on Pokemon TCG Online respectively, and the possibility that this subreddit may serve an overall bigger purpose in the future.

However, if in time the mega-thread becomes a negative impact to the community (A Spam/Advertisement crap-show) we will have to make further decisions on limiting access to commenting.

Hopefully it never reaches that point. We ask if you see anything harmful to the community, or against the rules, that you will continue using the 'Report' feature as necessary.

Thank you & much love! <3

• P.S. - Please feel free to join us over at /r/PTCGL where we have a community dedicated for the players of Pokemon TCG Live! This is more or less our replacement for PTCGO!

I had multiple full-art tag-team cards from TCGO that hasn't migrated over to TCGL.

I'm missing cards like Mega Gardevoir EX, Machamp and Marshadow Tag-Team GX (both full art & regular), Charizard and Reshiram Tag Team,

Can someone explain??

​

Edit: That's so inefficient and unclear

So, Pokemon TCG Online was yeeted out the door and replaced with a dumpster fire called Pokémon TCG Live. My first impression upon trying it out during last night's stream; Why? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" Nope. They basically just nuked the utter shit out of the entire digital Pokémon TCG experience for me.

The UI alone is just awful. The game is so bloaty and slow it caused the livestream to literally shit the bed just trying to play it.

I could live with that, if they didn't literally chunk years of redeeming code cards and collecting stuff by just going "nope. You don't get any of that stuff anymore". Even your bloody friend's list doesn't get carried over!

The avatar customization/animation is ugly and almost every option custom clothes etc., is locked behind a paywall that I didn't even notice until I attempted to choose something I liked and it just went "Yoink! Nope, pay for that!"

Also, in Online, you had this half-decent UI for viewing your entire collection of cards, coins, deck boxes, sleeves etc. That's all gone in Live. You literally cannot view and admire your collection as a whole. You can only modify and create decks. The only way to actually see your collection is to be building a deck. Oh, and they wiped custom decks and (so far as I could tell) redeemed ones. Also, if you 'collect' more than 4 of the same card, the game automatically exchanges any extra for one of it's 3 currencies. o.O

So where's the ⁠logic , Pokémon Company? Do you just simply not want people playing any form of TCG digitally anymore? Because I know I won't be. Might as well just chuck the code cards that come with physical sets straight in the trash.

Also I've just learned that trading won't be a thing? It is literally IN the NAME of the GAME?! (Pokémon TRADING Card Game...).

Well done Pokémon Company... personally I say boycott Live entirely.

Hello. I was playing Pokemon TCG ONLINE every day... I'm really sad that time is over... I'm playing Live now, but it's not the same...

Is there ANY chance it will come back?

I'm still waiting with the migration, because maybe... MAYBE there's a chance it will come back and I can play my older collections...

I loved Theme decks and that mode, where chances were equal...

What do you think guys?

Sooo I just migrated my ptcgo account to the new ptcgo live app and I'm trying to remake my favorite decks. I know it's really old now and not particularly a good card, but I'm really emotionally attached to Xerneas Break and want to build around this big fairy energy concept. I like to combo Aromatisse to keep good control of my energies. I have many good synergy options like Gardevoir & Sylveon GX and Whimsicott GX. Is it even viable to run a mono type deck these days? Any advice for building this type of deck these days? How would you build it?
