There was already a Pokemon TCG Online. How is this different?

I think the original TCGO was never really meant to be more than a demo/learn to play kind of thing that they crammed online play into. This probably is meant to expand on that with more of a focus, especially since the previous one is basically nothing more than a browser game with minimal interface.

I think the key thing they wanted to overcome was the code base being like a decade old and incompatible with mobile.

But the way they're going about this is pretty bad. They're only considering the battling portion and collections won't count beyond 4 of a card, so collectors are being shafted. And it's getting rid of the legacy format so older collections are gone too. And you're forced to move over when it comes out (unless you stop playing entirely). Since this is being developed in-house I think "lol pokemon" fits here

I played PTCGO a lot back in like 2012-13.

What we really need is a true sequel to PTCG GBC

(I know there was one but it never got an official English release and only added like the Rocket set beyond the original; they should have made a third that went up through the Neo sets)

I'd kill for a "Legacy of the Duelist" style Pokemon TCG video game.

I played it for while. It was way more than just a browser game. And had a full interface for trading and the like.

It didnt have support for smaller devices(tablet only) but the apk and app never failed to work on my phone.

I mean it's quite literally a browser game, though, which is why they can't easily port it to phones. People have been begging for an upgraded version for years. It even loaded in the browser originally, then they made an "app" that is just a browser but doesn't look like one.

EDIT: The point is they are extremely limited in what they can actually do with it due to how it was made.

oh this is funny considering I just picked that TCG online back up (in fact i'm playing it right now)

Luckily the drawbacks of collecting don't matter to me since I don't have many cards

It's not. You can install it on a phone by downloading the apk, because the app is literally just running a browser window, basically, but it's not meant to be played on mobile.

Wait no trading? When I was playing i built an empire in TCGO buying low/selling high. This sounds bad.

unfortunately, modern online TCGs can't go F2P if there's trading involved, for various reasons

maybe i'm wrong and there's a successful online tcg out there that will make me eat my words

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

I didn't see anything confirming that, I just assumed that they would remove that ability so that you are forced to spend on microtransactions to get the cards you want/need

TCGO had really good integration of sets/tinspacks/theme decks. They would convert 1 to 1 not counting the rng from booster packs and the like. I would hope that would continue instead of turning scummy.
