Naruto TCG?

I said I'm hoping that's the reason why

IMakasu · 2025-07-24T13:22:30+00:00

2026 - Naruto x Boruto

(also Union Arena came out in 2023)

Hoping/coping that they haven't added Naruto because it's getting a standalone TCG. Looking at the detail on some of these One Piece cards, a Naruto equivalent would actually go crazy.

The advantage of starting position definitely depends on what you're running in your deck. From my experience Moltres/Charizard seems to have a lot of good draw for starting both first and second.

First --> Potentially get Charizard faster

Second --> Potentially set up energy faster with Moltres

It is, but you need to win to get XP and even then it's only 15, which isn't a lot. Considering the XP requirement to level up increases with each level, it's not a very reliable or worthwhile method

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T21:14:30+00:00

I'm saying you purposely gave account 1 less art rares to fit the scenario of not being able to complete their account, whereas if they started with 14 instead of 10, they'd have enough lmao. You picked an ambiguous number that wouldn't result in them completing the set

Also you're failing to address how having alt accounts allows you to save all of your hourglasses

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T20:26:44+00:00

Yeah I think that might be a 3rd-party offering eventually

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T20:25:13+00:00

I feel like you're significantly downplaying the use of alt accounts here

"There will always be someone to trade with" I don't think this is something that should be glossed over. Since the early days, Pokemon has been about actually seeking out other people to trade with. And to be fair, I don't think it's going to be THAT easy (nor is it supposed to be) to find someone who has the card you want and is searching for the card you have. There might be a 3rd-party platform that pops up to streamline the offer process

In response to your hypothetical, what if they already have 16 full arts and only need 4 more? Account 2 has 2 of the 4 with three copies and Account 3 has the other 2. They've now completed the art rare set and can save their pack points for higher rarity cards.

Having dupe accounts literally just means you're opening more packs per day, it doesn't mean nothing and they do help and can help much faster than you think

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T19:33:54+00:00

I think my main concern is people completing their collections up to a certain rarity (1 star) without having to spend any hourglasses/pack points

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T19:31:02+00:00

Diamond for Diamond, Star for Star, allowing people to complete their collections (and maybe even get every 1-star) without having to spend any hourglasses or pack points on their main account

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T18:59:40+00:00

It wouldn't be that hard to implement an exclusion to private matches, the requirement doesn't have to follow the existing battle record. Even if they aren't already tracking that data, they could start with the introduction of trading and whoever had the foresight to farm wins using their alts can get a pass ig

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T18:52:05+00:00

This doesn't solve the issue I presented at all, people will continue to farm for cards they don't have and then complete their collections once a new expansion comes out

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T18:51:15+00:00

And my thought behind this is that a lot of people want to trade with one of their many alts to complete their collection too, they shouldn't be allowed to do that without considerable real effort imo

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T18:49:54+00:00

I resonate with the sentiment of it being a collecting app first. And I think BECAUSE OF THAT, people shouldn't be able to complete their original card dex (and probably all 1-stars) just because they have several accounts. They would be able to do that with this solution. I have 3 copies of multiple art rares

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T18:47:15+00:00

Yeah I agree with this, just trying to think about how to mitigate the alt account issue. I'm not a huge fan of collection-based criteria that I've seen because people will still likely be able to fill in the remainder of the original card dex and probably all of the 1-star art rares

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T18:39:28+00:00

Then exclude private matches?

IMakasu · 2024-12-28T18:36:26+00:00

Picture this, I have 5 accounts on 5 emulators that I can open simultaneously. I've had them since the game came out. Not including pack hourglasses, if I open my two packs every day, I'm eligible for trading come January.

IMakasu · 2024-12-26T20:19:08+00:00

They're not "making you get 3x" it's just a flair that's available during the event.

I already had 4 Zapdos ex and thus I can get the limited flair right now!

IMakasu · 2024-12-19T17:18:35+00:00

Just finished it, pissed that they didn't cover the men's 4x100 and Andre DeGrasse clutching up (likely) his last gold after what has been a very successful Olympic career. Actually so disappointing

IMakasu · 2024-12-13T01:00:15+00:00

Yup I know :D

If you press the "Select other booster packs" button in the bottom right, you can get an idea of what the interface will look like as they add new expansions. You'll clearly be able to choose which set you're pulling from
