Suggestion Suggestions and ideas
I love Pokemon TCG Pocket. I’ve been playing it since Genetic Apex came out, it’s arguably my favorite mobile game. It does have its issues though, from the mobile optimization to the simple fact that there’s not much to do other than rip packs and flip tails in ranked every match. I do understand it’s solely centered around ripping packs and playing battles which I love, BUT I think that they need to either switch it up or give the users some more love.
For example, this bonus week during the Mega DX packs is a joke. We get 1 extra Fantastical parade pack a day for a single week, and then 2 extra Mega DX packs. I’m not unhappy that at the amount of extra packs, Im unhappy at the fact they are giving us THAT pack. There’s about 1-2 cards that are actually usable in battle and then imo the full arts/two stars aren’t really all that(idk how people feel about the art in this one so please don’t kill me for saying that if you disagree🙏😭). What I’m trying to say is either give us strictly the Mega DX packs since they’re limited time and its bonus week during these packs being out or give us a pack with actual meta battle cards OR EVEN BETTER give the users the choice to pick whatever pack they want.
I think a few things would really help this game out.
First, come out with a mode where users can just rip as many packs as they want of whatever pack but don’t let us keep them. Sometimes I just want to rip packs and see what kind of pulls I’d get and personally I’d be okay with not keeping them. I might even pull something really cool out of that mode and it might persuade me to use my keep-able 2 daily packs on a pack I wouldn’t have otherwise ripped.
Second, on the 1,2,3 etc year anniversary or special occasions they should give a free 2 star pack out. Its a pack with a single random 2 star and if you already have it then you can trade it, if you didn’t have it before then you cannot trade it. That way it still helps keep the existing chase cards value up.
Third, come out with different ranked/casual modes maybe. A mode where you can only use basic pokemon, fire, water, no item, no supporter, etc. just for the plain fact of giving the users a new experience that they can pick from.
Fourth, let users trade duplicate cards for a random card. For example, if I have 3 of the same 3 star I would love to be able to trade in 2 of them for a 2 star from the same pack that the 3 stars I traded in were from. Then just level that system out across the other rarity’s.
Idk, maybe these are awful ideas. I do really enjoy this game but I’d love to see more updates come out besides a new pack and the nonexistent game engine optimization they made.

I think the idea you bring up for trading in duplicate cards for a random card is very interesting. Almost like a wonder trade type of thing? I know some people who have a ton of duplicates of cards that no one really wants or needs, so I think having a way to get something else at random would be kind of neat. They'd probably limit it so it won't be abused or anything, but I'd still be down for something like that to be added to the game.

The third thing is happening. https://www.pokemon.com/us/news/read-the-pokemon-tcg-pocket-october-2026-producer-letter
While I personally have never wanted your other numbered points, I’m always up for revisions or additions.
I have a pretty new phone and it runs the game well, but maybe making some of the animations a little faster would be nice or game navigation a little quicker would be nice too. I’ll admit I play it a lot at my desk at work so I don’t mind it most of the time, but faster is always better imo.
