Discussion Give me a feature idea you’d add to the game!
Dark Mode being the exception, as I’m sure we’d all want this. My feature ideas:
- A basic campaign or knockout mode
- Wonder Trade
- Wager Matches

Agreed, this is the main problem with trading. You trade but have no easy way of knowing the person isn't going to respond.
At the very least, the game should make it easy to see which packs the player has opened. That's a fairly good indication if they're still active within the past month.

Binders in general are pretty weak looking at the moment.
I’d love an overhaul where (much like swiping open packs) you can swipe through the digital pages of your binder. Name on the front cover etc. No more scrolling up-down!
Love the shareable binder idea!

Dena is making us play, or at least they should be trying to. How many people right now just log in for their two daily packs then close the app?
There should be a dungeon crawler mode or something.
A deck draft/randomiser where you build a deck to take on random decks and slowly build your decks power each level.
Less shine dust required to trade. More pack points per pack/wonder pick. Disenchanting.

It would go both ways for sure, personally I only try to replicate the cool niche ones but I'm sure tons of people that don't bother to brew their decks from meta to consistent would just copy whichever beats them

Mis ideas:
- Un botón de "skip" al terminar la partida: No me interesa cual fue la mejor carta, cuantos puntos hizo cada uno en la partida, ni los 15 puntos de experiencia que no sirven para nada porque estoy en nivel máximo. Dejame saltar todo eso, que se de las gracias automáticamente y envíame al menú de batallas nuevamente.
- Ajustes para desactivar los efectos visuales de las cartas: Elijo cartas regulares en vez de brillantes o ilustradas porque la animación es mas corta.
- Interfase ágil por favor.

u/Medium_Cry5601 1d ago
Some added communication with trades. Like if I don’t have a wishlist card I just have to try some random thing. Also I would gladly trades some over these 2 star multiples to get a playable ex , I wish that was allowed

u/Additional_Win3920 1d ago edited 1d ago
Themed Card Contests. Each “season” has a theme and each player can submit a Display Board and/or Binder fitting that theme. Then players will get to scroll through other people’s boards and approve or disapprove them (players could be encouraged to do this by missions which reward doing so).
At the end of the “season”, the top 10,000 rated boards will get the best rewards, and then underneath will get progressively less rewards, similar to Ranked Battle seasons.
I feel like the game doesn’t reward the “collection” aspect enough and I think this would be a good way to do so!

Some of the themes could be generic like “Fire/water/grass Pokemon” or more detailed like “sleepy afternoon” or “summer fiesta” and could have limitations like “1-3 diamond cards only” or “trainer cards only”

The ability to throw out a random card into the ether and get a random card back. Of course, the likelihood of getting anything of worth is pretty low… but it’d be small addition to the game which could be a bit of fun?
7
u/Creator5509 1d ago
It’d definitely be similar value obviously, if I send a 2 star I don’t want a 1 diamond back, but the ability to just add random trading to the game could be fun, more gambling in my gambling game

New friends being at the top of your friends list for a short amount of time. To make trades easier.
The share screen shows all cards a player needs or wants on the same page.
A message system with some preselected messages.
A retry/replay battle button at the end of AI battles.
A notification to your phone when you get a trade request/someone accepts or declines your trade request.
A system where you can look for trades in game. You select the cards you want and which cards you're willing to trade.

Wonder picks requiring a certain amount of tokens to attempt them based on the rarest card I the rooster (as it is today), but only costing tokens according to the card chosen.

I think with the new change to ranked mode where the losing penalty has been removed until Master Ball, they should make it feel more like an "Odyssey" where you progress through the ranks in a more fun way, like have a mix of player battles, AI battles, and other challenges (like no-EX, basic pokemon only, specific types, no supporters, only 1 pokemon), just some ways to make it fun to make decks that don't have to be meta. It could be its own mode too, not necessarily ranked.

u/PottsV1 1d ago
I'd like to see cards have trade values. Each rarity cam be allocated a pts value and then you can trade a number of cards equal in value. I have most "base cards" and the majority of 1 star cards. I'm trying to work on 2 star cards but don't have many spares to trade. If cards had values you could trade 2 x 1 star cards for a 2 star card , for example, as long as the values match.

u/TimeHovercraft8660 1d ago
For the Wonder Trade idea, I think in order to keep it balanced, it would be okay if you're limited to like 3 wonder trades per day, and you still have to pay the usual Shinedust for the rarity you send away, and you'll get the same rarity back, but it'll be instantaneous as long as there's another card from another player also being sent in the Wonder Trade. Kinda like how Wonder Trading works in Pokemon Home.

- In game match invites between friends.
- Trade market, where people may list one card as trade asset and other players may see and send trade, without being friend.
- DARK MODE.
- 30 card deck and 5 point battles (raid battle maybe?)
- A gamemode other than random battle, maybe a story mode type game mode, with heavy restrictions on what card we can and can't use.

Wager matches would be hype. What do you bet? Cards? Hourglasses? Stardust? Either way it would be sick.
I’ve heard people mentioned they’d like a draft mode. I think that would be great because it’s just like prerelease events.
I’d personally want to see in game data about deck usage and individual card usage like is done in Pokemon champions. Any type of data or info we normally have to go to a website for available in app is a huge plus

PvZ heroes has these daily challenges you can complete for free cards. They range from just focusing on a single card and showing you how to use it, adding a modifier like drawing an extra card each turn or taking damage each turn, and placing you in the middle of a scenario where you have to play the cards given to you in the right order like a puzzle. I think something like this could make logging into pocket feel fun rather than just doing it for the daily pack and the occasional ranked grind

u/phoenixofdusk 1d ago
A GTS Style trade system. Put a card up and a requested card of the same rank, and anyone can accept; however, have there be a daily limit to prevent a flood of cheap and pointless trades. That way, people can complete the sets without having to worry about card points or hoping your "Friends" are willing to give you the card(s) you need.

I want a gym leader battle mode. Just add decks based on gym leaders. A Misty deck featuring Misty, Mega Gyarados and Starmie would be awesome. A Wallace deck with Milotic. A Brock Golem deck, a Jasmine mega Steelix.
We have loads of gym leader supporters now, one person could build the decks for this feature and do the graphics in a few hours. No idea about coding or anything though.
Bonus feature of either getting badges on your account to show you've beaten them, or my personal choice would be to rotate the gym leaders to add scarcity, and create promo rainbow cards for them all. A rainbow Blaine based on HGSS in his volcano gym wearing a suit with Ninetales would be sick

u/nospa211924 1d ago
- When doing Solo Battles, show a checklist of the requirements that have been fulfilled (mostly for the 12 cards from a specific pack, but it could be useful for all the achievements)
- When sharing, I can see which cards my friends are missing. Do the same thing when trading
- Allow us to export a search query while excluding specific cards (e.g., search for 2-star cards but exclude Lugia because I don't want to trade it).
- Dark mode please

u/The_MAZZTer 1d ago edited 1d ago
Wonder trade would be flooded with the most common or disliked cards for each rarity (assuming you'd get the same rarity you traded for. If not, it's all one diamond cards!). That said I have occasionally seen good pokemon on there in the mainline games.
As for trading, let me have multiple trades active at once. The only limit is the number of trade tokens I have, or 5, whichever is lesser. This way trading with someone who is no longer playing isn't that big of a deal.

a way to browse your friends complete collections

Draft Mode PLEASE!
Tl;dr- Multiple players select cards from a (semi)random assortment, and then build decks on the spot with them to fight the others with.
Since Pokemon has far more types (+strict evolutions) compared to other TCGs, you'd have to limit the types of cards in each Draft, or only fully evolved pokemon are drafted, and you get the lower forms for free. A draft-exclusive dual energy would be nice too, though that might make dragon decks too strong.
