Amazing, thanks for the info! Luckily my favourite of the three (Sandslash), lines up with my favourite starter Bulbasaur! Great video Spragels - getting me hyped for the first mobile game in a long time!
That's definitely one of the downsides of live and pocket compared to Online- in online, you had that ladder with 3 tiers and it was not only incredibly fun to grind (i stayed up from 9 at night to 4 in the morning some days lmao), but it was helpful because it meant you were always guaranteed packs, 2-prizers and a full art trainer at the end. While Live's battle passes are 500,000 times more generous, you are not guaranteed to make progress towards getting said generous rewards every time- you can only gain BP exp by completing challenges, which you only get 2 or 3 times a day. Meanwhile in Pocket...i mean....there's really only challenges. There's no battlepass, no reward ladder, nothing that is a guaranteed way to work towards significant and beneficial rewards. They HAVE to get on that : L
@@Navue-cn2txnot really if you grind doing the tutorial missions you get enough for 20-30 packs you can basically get everything you need. Make sure you save for 10 packs at a time you'll have a higher chance of getting something good compared to buying individual packs. I'm done with the Mewtwo pack I'm going to the Charizard packs now.
Honestly rerolling just kills off the fun in games. Youll get the cards you want eventually and rerolling will just help you for the first few days. So just enjoy what you get 😊
Me and my crown rare pikachu and immersive mewtwo definitely had all the fun killed D: Some people enjoy rerolling. You get to open a ton of packs which is always a good time. Rerolling was honestly the most fun part of the game and it slows down a ton after. Fun, but slower.
I'm surprised people are going so hard on this game. The min-maxing and serious deck building. I shouldn't be because this happens with every game, but all the early discussion I read about this game was that it was just a chill Pokemon TCG collecting game. Can't avoid sweats I guess 😅, not that there's anything wrong with that.
@@kaybe87 well i didnt reroll once but after a month of playing from early access i got both crown rare pikachu and machamp normally🙂 not that it matters you can use normal pikachu or mewtwo fine in battle even if you dont get the immersive varieties.
@@ImAlsoMerobiba dont worry , ive been playing from early access so i can tell its not that hardcore as people are making it to be . Personally i ended up getting two starmies, one from packets and one from wonder pick and I've been having a blast destroying all these meta decks from sweaty players😂 love it when they show up with their immersive mewtwo cards only to surrender in 3 turns
I probably was too keen to play this last night as this would have all been solid advice up front but I've learned the hard way in the past that rerolling can ruin new games for me, so now I just create an account and go for it. Even a bad start is recoverable over time. And to be fair despite not knowing these things I've come out with some decent starters (F2P) including Charizard, Moltres and Mewtwo (basic). I'll take it. Excited to see how this game pans out!
@@rawberry3 i mean if you dont think about wasting money, rerolling doesnt matter. Also this is my general rule for playin games. I rarely read the reviews as i realized they sort of gatekeep the game with their own opinions, good or bad doesnt matter. When i see their points, i think "huh, maybe thats not what i am looking for" without ever trying the game out myself. Its sorta like testing new food out
OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I literally watched this video just as I got to the part you unlock battles, I looked at my collection and not a single star rare. Restarted and no joke, in the TUTORIAL PACK!!! the Mewtwo pack they force you to open as your first pack after that predetermined one. I pulled Venasuar EX card 1 and ART DIVE MEWTWO CARD 5!!! My first pack!!!! You are my hero for telling me to restart!!! ❤❤❤❤
Not to rub in my luck, but pack 3 had the rarest version of Brock, and pack like 6 had the rarest version of Zapidos EX. I have screen shot to prove how small my collection was when they joined.
@@brian8773 do you mean on my cards or general? My Mewtwo is 3 stars, that one where he’s breaking the glass. And the Brock and Zapidos are 2 stars I think. But both are full art cards. Zapidos is really cool, it’s in front of the power plant. But rarity is diamond 1-4, stars 1-3, and top is crown. But those are just like gold cards, they aren’t they cool looking honestly
@@ToskaCat like how do I know the card I pulled is the rarest for that particular Pokémon. I am researching before the game is out globally so I am unable to see anything in the game for now that's why I am curious.
I didn't know mewtwo had one. I was just spamming his packs because he seemed strong (he is pretty strong 👀 ) but I got the emersion art before even the regular ex! I was blown away!
@chipskylark5300 given the sheer volume of cards and their rarities (which might be a bigger issue than you think considering you aren't really going to complete the set by opening the same pack type), I don't think they'll be putting out new sets often. At least not until they determine if the app is viable months from now. It takes over a month just to get enough pack points to buy 1 full art card.
@@sherlocknoir they didn't, and they won't lol people are just worried because every game that does this include that same warning and it's never an issue. If they did start banning people for it then the big launch would be an instant flop.
Did you know that you can tilt the cards once they're out of the pack to get a glance at card borders before you uncover them? It's a little gimmick to get you hyped for that last card, if you see that it has a foil border.
If you really want, get to level 15 before writing off an account. By then you should have pulled around 400 cards. If you can make 3 solid decks with the cards you want, keep it.
I got a crown Mewtwo without restarting, so I feel pretty okay. I'm still trying to learn about the game, and I want to get Misty so I can play water... but I'm enjoying it so far.
The Moltres card at 6:15 slightly resembles the Legendary Moltres card from Pokémon TCG for the Gameboy. Different art, HP, Moves, etc. But, has an all or nothing attack.
They should transfer the point system to the main tcg. It would improve the game so much. Having a random 10% of your deck not avaible every match brings a huge RNG factor in the game and you are forced to play extra copies of certain cards in your deck, just in case they are prized. Plus, there are not many effects in the game that really interact with the prize cards anyway. Cards like Iono that only count the number of points left, would still function exactly the same. If you want to keep the reward for taking a point, just let the player decide if he wants to draw a card or not.
Having cards prized also helps reward KOs though. The game is also balanced around the prize rule. If you took that out you'd probably have to change other rules. It isn't quite THAT simple.
Also it seems like Full Arts don’t count towards the completion total. When I got Moltres EX as a full art, I had yet to get the normal Moltres EX, and the counter for cards collected did not go up
It's really hard to make the decision of whether to continue or restart without knowing how to value the cards… Is there a rule of thumb for beginners? Something like "if you don't get at least two cards with 2 stars or better, start over".
2 Questions: 1) If you're not in an area where this is available yet would it be better for you, strategically, to VPN access to download it so you can do more thought the weeks? 2) Also, at 7:24 you selected the Mewtwo pack and got a full art Charmander, was that just editing or are the starters in the other packs too?
I didn't even know the Bulbasaur fullart guarantee... I just now Venusaur is in Mewtwo pack, and I'm so happy I got that Bulbasaur fullart, and the Sandslash deck make me happier cause Sandshrew is my favorite pokemon
The sheer amount of FOMO I’m seeing you create over re starting your account is insane. 😅 I hate content like this! All be it some of your videos are super helpful ! You know what you’re doing. 😂

Spragels! Wow! I first found you when I started playing Pokemon Unite (then I dropped off after awhile), and then again with Warcraft Rumble (but then I fell off after awhile). And now I can't wait for the full launch of Pokemon TCG Pocket! I'm sure we'll be playing this one forever! ^_^ ...Right?
Hey I have not full tested it but I have only been able to open 3 packs but two out of the 3 had ex card in the Mmmm un less the patches it but look for the bent foil pack from the side view of the pack one is bent! Once you see it you with know! But I flip all the street packs till I find one and I leave it and see if there’s any others cause I’ve noticed some of my packs when I flip them over they stay flipped over and I thought I did it where I flipped all of them over but I think maybe if you flip all of them over, they flip them all over but idk try it out. It’s worth a try like it may take you like five minutes to like look at it, and finally find the one that is not like the others but
Ofcourse this drops after I already sunk hours into the game today 💀 Oh well, atleast the game’s data will carry over when the official launch is out. We’ll still be ahead of the majority by then. Collecting > PvP
Really nice comprehensive guide. When the game goes global I'm def rolling for the Immersive Mewtwo, then swapping my focus to the Charizard pack for the full art Alakazam. Tide myself over till an immersive dark/ghost drops since a lot of my personal favs (Dusknoir, Spiritomb, Absol, etc) are either dark or ghost lol
Had no idea your first pack and wonderpick was guaranteed but I was happy, loved my first day and completed most of the nettles think I have 2 left. Spent a little as well but I’ve done a good 60/70 pulls, think my account looks pretty bang on so far! Loved the card game since well the cards and the OG TCG and just recently replayed that on my phone 😊 earned a like from me man thank you. Have one of your videos queued next so that might earn the sub 🤣
The Best is to wait to have 120hoir glasses and than open 10booster.. i got all my rare like that like mewtwo alt art and charizard gold. Plus mewtwo ex. Articuno ex and some other alt art and full art
When trading will be enabled. Do you think there will be some limiter as to people not making 12 accounts like this and trading the best pulls to the main account ?
Oh and if you have old phone that could run it or what What ever just start an new on on all your devices and figure out which one has the best cards, then you can Bluegrass on that phone or device and reset on the other ones see if you can get better rng
Well I guess I'm glad I haven't been able to get the game yet, as this is a helpfull starting guide. However, Now I'm really on the fence on what to pick. I first thought I wanted to start with the Mewtwo pack. Though Arcanine is my favorite Pokémon, but I just don't love the Arcanine design in the Pikachu deck, and I'm not that interested in Pikachu packs. The full art Bulbasaur is really cool, I want that one the most, but I also want to have Arcanine. So I don't really know what I want to choose. Though now I know that I can easily just delete my data and start over, if I'm not completely happy with my card picks.
yo man! i decided to reroll a few times thanks to this video as i didnt hit anything good! I hit IMMERSIVE CHARIZARD and 2 GOLD star BLAINE!! Thanks for the video!
I actually linked my nintendo account right at first so no option of rerolling but managed to hit the 0.05% rare pack where all 5 cards are at least 1 star. Couldn't believe I got one already!
Thank you very much, as I've started 1 day later, it's nice to get some better cards that I've did initially. I'm in the "36 hours" released, so I guess it's ok to lose once
@@spragelsPocket Dude, I can't thank you enough lol... In my "first life", I've drawn only Porygon and Golbat as special cards, 4 diamonds. Only the initial were good. So I did it again after writing you and I've drawn 2 cards 2 golden diamonds (Venusaur EX and Gengar EX) and many EX cards (other 2 Gengar, Articuno...). Golbat again and changed the initial after reading here the options). I've made a nice plant deck after that. It's not stellar like having Mewtwo 2 crowns, but very very good.
@@__utama6351but they will spend absurd amount. Thats literally what happens to any tcg. Even for f2p like me, ive spent maybe just on the lowest priced options. Which isnt big but this is huge for f2p as they never spent money on games.
Honestly love the game like its actually better then i would have expected....... BUT the hour glasses come in reaaaaaallllyy slow after getting out of the beginning. Game has a lot of potential but would love to see like more challenges and stuff its still super early but the game is Honestly amazing lol
I did these things, made a marowal deck and focused on the mewtwo packs. After about 15 packs I got gold mewtwo ex... Yeah I think I'll continue on my account lol
Also as a note to save time don’t open packs with hourglasses until you finish all the battle tutorials and then at that point you should have enough to do a 10 pack opening.
I'm not really into any of the big cards other than mew two and Bulbasaur full art. (Sandshrew deck maybe but like I said I might just start off slow and save up until more packs)
I completely planned on making another account, opening all the free packs, trading those over to my main, then deleting the account data & repeating the process. Only thing I am unsure of is if they are going to implement some kind of trade restrictions or like in pokemon go trade resources.
Well I mean there 100% personal but since we know all cards that are in the game and how battles work now people are forcing on makes decks they want. Like me I going for a water deck I need Greninja and Articuno ex and each one of those are in different packs. But if you don't know what to build I recommend every going Pikachu or Charizard since almost all the thunder and fire pokemon are together
@@sechabatheletsane9784 they confirm that rankeds come in the future so yeah, let the people tryhard, its not a waste. Andd btw I hope they delete the LIVE because if u compare xddd live s*cks.
I realized that i use a VPN to play which is fine, but i still have my USA google play account behind it. So, i actually cannot spend money on the game until it comes out globally haha 😅
If I have two phones and want to use the second one to keep re rolling cards to trade back to my first phone, is that possible? I'm not sure how trading works in this game.
question can you change your username after creating an account? i can't play yet anyway, don't wanna deal with vpn, but when i do get to play i might try rerolling, but if i have use random usernames and one ends up being THE ONE, i dont wanna be stuck with a dumb name lol also, just to be clear, you can play without linking an existing account and once you are sure that.. ITS THE ONE.. you can link your google, trainer club or whatever?
It seemed in this video that you can change your username, as long as you don't link your game to anything. Just delete your account and make a new one. He also states that this guide is for new players, who just started and haven't linked and/or payed for anything yet. So I understand it that you do not have to link your account, but you will most likely get the opportunity. So you can probably just click cancel on it or something and be able to link the account later.
@@VegardMyklebust but deleting my account to get "a new name" is not the same as "changing my name". i meant that i was wondering if you can change your username on an existing account :)
@@bradencluster4739 I just did a few days ago, and it works fine so far, I just have to keep my VPN on before I launch the game, then I can immediately turn it off after the game launches normally. If you launch the game without the VPN, it just won't let you in but you can try again later with the VPN and it'll work
Can I reset my account even after linking it to my google account? That is literally the only thing I have done in the game so far, I have not even opened the first pack yet.
Serious question is this worth switching to if I already play Pokemon TCG live? I originally learned how to play the card game on ptcgo and was super upset when they sunsetted the ptcgo servers for TCG live but at least I was able to transfer most of my stuff from ptcgo to TCG live but I rlly miss the ptcgo format with trading and just how it was set up I still play TCG live but it’s just not the same as ptcgo will this new format effect the TCG live version? Also will this new format implement the trading aspect similar to how ptcgo used to have it?
To answer your questions, yes there will be trading, Pocket doesn't interact in any way with Live, the battle format is a pretty different. The boards are smaller, point system instead of prizes, smaller decks.
The first pack also determines your starter deck. Mewtwo = Sandslash deck / Pikachu = Rapidash deck / Charizard = Pinsir deck
Great tip thank you!

my favorite is bulbasaur but the squirtles art looks cuter 😭
Well I guess I'm glad I haven't been able to get the game yet, as this is a helpfull starting guide.
However, Now I'm really on the fence on what to pick. I first thought I wanted to start with the Mewtwo pack. Though Arcanine is my favorite Pokémon, but I just don't love the Arcanine design in the Pikachu deck, and I'm not that interested in Pikachu packs. The full art Bulbasaur is really cool, I want that one the most, but I also want to have Arcanine. So I don't really know what I want to choose.
Though now I know that I can easily just delete my data and start over, if I'm not completely happy with my card picks.
yo man! i decided to reroll a few times thanks to this video as i didnt hit anything good! I hit IMMERSIVE CHARIZARD and 2 GOLD star BLAINE!! Thanks for the video!
I actually linked my nintendo account right at first so no option of rerolling but managed to hit the 0.05% rare pack where all 5 cards are at least 1 star. Couldn't believe I got one already!
Thank you very much, as I've started 1 day later, it's nice to get some better cards that I've did initially. I'm in the "36 hours" released, so I guess it's ok to lose once
Glad I could help!
@@spragelsPocket Dude, I can't thank you enough lol... In my "first life", I've drawn only Porygon and Golbat as special cards, 4 diamonds. Only the initial were good.
So I did it again after writing you and I've drawn 2 cards 2 golden diamonds (Venusaur EX and Gengar EX) and many EX cards (other 2 Gengar, Articuno...). Golbat again and changed the initial after reading here the options). I've made a nice plant deck after that.
It's not stellar like having Mewtwo 2 crowns, but very very good.
Helpful video. I will definitely check whether I should restart or not when the game comes out
love you moon
@@spragelsPocket love you too Jake 🥺💖
so you mean start sweaty right off the bat for this game?
@@kennethacuna9996 i mean some people have their favorites and prolly don’t want to spend absurd amounts of money to get em
@@kennethacuna9996 it's a gacha game, so you can restart what you get from the starting currency while it's still early
@@__utama6351but they will spend absurd amount. Thats literally what happens to any tcg.
Even for f2p like me, ive spent maybe just on the lowest priced options.
Which isnt big but this is huge for f2p as they never spent money on games.
What if I already linked my Nintendo account? What impact does that have on me? If I reroll, I have not claimed the premium or spent any money yet
Honestly love the game like its actually better then i would have expected....... BUT the hour glasses come in reaaaaaallllyy slow after getting out of the beginning. Game has a lot of potential but would love to see like more challenges and stuff its still super early but the game is Honestly amazing lol
ohhhh i kinda want that Arcanine but im leaning towards a Grass type deck, I must get Caterpie
Do you personally spin the cards and pick a pack or just pick the first one?
Is it better to just have 2 copies of the same EX pokemon? Played against a double mewtwo ex deck that seemed hard to beat... 😅
I did these things, made a marowal deck and focused on the mewtwo packs. After about 15 packs I got gold mewtwo ex... Yeah I think I'll continue on my account lol
Idk about resetting lol, my Mewtwo EX was really good and all I need is really another copy of gardevoir to get my deck going. Very interesting though
Also as a note to save time don’t open packs with hourglasses until you finish all the battle tutorials and then at that point you should have enough to do a 10 pack opening.
@@hicamajig is there a difference between opening 10 packs in one time instead of opening them 1 by 1 ?
just to save time since it does a 10 pack animation instead and you don’t have to keep selecting single packs.
How do so many people already have this game... I can't get it until 12:00AM on the east coast of USA
had my first immersive on my first 10 packs and pulled that mewtwo!
my kid had to make like 5 accounts to get the pikachu immersive lmao!
Um it hasn’t released yet… am I just in a location where I hadn’t been released yet? I’m in the USA
I'm not really into any of the big cards other than mew two and Bulbasaur full art. (Sandshrew deck maybe but like I said I might just start off slow and save up until more packs)
Yugioh has a console game build your deck with over 5000 cards same rules as the official card game
Why is there only one type of pack? How do I get the other eveelutions?
So im subscribing bec we have same mustache
good idea
As someone who can not grow facial hair.. i usually subscribe to fully bearded gentlemans.
I am simping to their beard
Just started pulled a full art Bulbasaur and laparis
I needed this an hour ago! I was hoping a video like this was coming bc im sooo lost i gave up.
how are you already playing
@@JohnnyDahabra khasino has a walkthru and apk link.
I’m so confused lol
@@JohnnyDahabra my thought exactly
@@JohnnyDahabra u can play in new zealand. watch khasino's video
I completely planned on making another account, opening all the free packs, trading those over to my main, then deleting the account data & repeating the process. Only thing I am unsure of is if they are going to implement some kind of trade restrictions or like in pokemon go trade resources.
You cant trade tho.
@@alexandermarch161 not yet
Great video! Another begginer question: Should I buy a 2nd X-Speed from the shop? Can I get it for free? It is a competitive card?
At that point just make another account and just trade the rare ones to the main account. Once trading is in the game
how do u know which cards to look for? which are the best ones? is it all just personal preference?
Well I mean there 100% personal but since we know all cards that are in the game and how battles work now people are forcing on makes decks they want. Like me I going for a water deck I need Greninja and Articuno ex and each one of those are in different packs. But if you don't know what to build I recommend every going Pikachu or Charizard since almost all the thunder and fire pokemon are together
It's a collector game. Not like TCG live. So trying super hard to attain the best cards is a waste of time. It's about your preference
@@sechabatheletsane9784 ah got it thanks! glad to hear that i won’t have to tryhard for this 😂
@@dnzltan the best ones rn are the Pikachu Ex/Mono electro and normal low cost decks
@@sechabatheletsane9784 they confirm that rankeds come in the future so yeah, let the people tryhard, its not a waste. Andd btw I hope they delete the LIVE because if u compare xddd live s*cks.
how are people playing this already? it’s expected in the app store Oct 31st for me ):
Do you have to choose a new username for every reset? I wouldn't want to reset if it'd force me to create a new username every time.
No. You can always pick the same. Pokemon games are id based and not nickname.
Same as in PoGo or Sleep or Unite
I realized that i use a VPN to play which is fine, but i still have my USA google play account behind it. So, i actually cannot spend money on the game until it comes out globally haha 😅
This is helpful, thank you!
What’s a good amount of EX hits or a specific card hit that we can consider a “good start”?
I re-rolled until I got a 2-star card, full art, from one of my 2 favorite colors. It tooked me 5 runs.
If I have two phones and want to use the second one to keep re rolling cards to trade back to my first phone, is that possible? I'm not sure how trading works in this game.
But i already got my 2 crown cards. Im so scared to reset.
Man, 😊this video is popping off, congrats spragels!
question
can you change your username after creating an account?
i can't play yet anyway, don't wanna deal with vpn, but when i do get to play i might try rerolling, but if i have use random usernames and one ends up being THE ONE, i dont wanna be stuck with a dumb name lol
also, just to be clear, you can play without linking an existing account and once you are sure that.. ITS THE ONE.. you can link your google, trainer club or whatever?
It seemed in this video that you can change your username, as long as you don't link your game to anything. Just delete your account and make a new one.
He also states that this guide is for new players, who just started and haven't linked and/or payed for anything yet. So I understand it that you do not have to link your account, but you will most likely get the opportunity. So you can probably just click cancel on it or something and be able to link the account later.
@@VegardMyklebust but deleting my account to get "a new name" is not the same as "changing my name".
i meant that i was wondering if you can change your username on an existing account :)
@@faselwesen Every 30 days you can change your nickname
so, opening pack one by one is the better chance to get super hit instead open 10 packs at once?
how are you guys playing this before the oct 30th release
@@TheRealBuckBumble with VPN
I imagine we will see power creep start to roll in by like set 3-4, so I plan to just stockpile hourglasses for when some absurd card or loop drops.
power creep is already in it, try it out, if you get lucky with lt surge or misty decks or moltres decks.
I got ex Charizar, Machamp and Alakazam, on my 10 packs i was stocked 😂😂
Squirtle for the win on OG starters
Wait this game isnt out yet right...?
Literally just "pre-installed" the game for when it comes out in the states!
lol I want the full art Bulba and I won’t stop restarting the game until I get an early crown card. 😂
Am i the only one rerolling for cool id numbers? 😹😹😹
got 2 Pikachu EX😂
got a full art Charmander from a wonder pack😂
i will wait for the trade feature to get my full art bulbasaur now😂
Is it worth it to use a VPN, or is it going to backfire on me somehow? I need help. 😅
@@bradencluster4739 I just did a few days ago, and it works fine so far, I just have to keep my VPN on before I launch the game, then I can immediately turn it off after the game launches normally. If you launch the game without the VPN, it just won't let you in but you can try again later with the VPN and it'll work
@@bradencluster4739 I believe Nintendo has a policy against using VPNs to access content that’s not available in your region
My collection is not great but I'm not reseting, what are you guys going to do when new sets drop? Start all over again? This is stupid.
I probably just need to get good, but the solo battles are hard af
I don't know if that crazy or not , but i did get pokemon full art immersive Pikachu from my 3th pack
Is this the game that's waiting to be released???
If you dont't get a rare booster, you should reroll
Rare booster give you 5 rare cards
Got a recommendation for places to get NZ gift cards? Also pretty sure they confirmed that progression is going to be carried into the full game.
How to say "If you are unhappy with your pulls, just reroll" in a 10-min video. :D
Does it have a kommo-o?? it's my fave pok
Can I reset my account even after linking it to my google account? That is literally the only thing I have done in the game so far, I have not even opened the first pack yet.
Serious question is this worth switching to if I already play Pokemon TCG live? I originally learned how to play the card game on ptcgo and was super upset when they sunsetted the ptcgo servers for TCG live but at least I was able to transfer most of my stuff from ptcgo to TCG live but I rlly miss the ptcgo format with trading and just how it was set up I still play TCG live but it’s just not the same as ptcgo will this new format effect the TCG live version? Also will this new format implement the trading aspect similar to how ptcgo used to have it?
@@labbydabby TCG live sucks ass and won't have any interaction with pocket, so just drop it before they pull the servers next year
To answer your questions, yes there will be trading, Pocket doesn't interact in any way with Live, the battle format is a pretty different. The boards are smaller, point system instead of prizes, smaller decks.
Man I feel this so mich. i dont even play the new one because the switch bothered me so much. I sunch so much time and money into the old one. Sigh
Wait how do u have it already it says it’s coming out oct 31st?
New Zealand has soft launch a couple days ago I believe
I cant even play theres a bug on iPhone where the app doesn’t load
70 packs opened and I have less than 10exs in total 💀 but hey at least one is a crown rare and another one is immersive
Is it okay to switch between pack? I already did that to get machamp ex and snorlax 1 star. Should I reroll?
Can you use the exact same player name again if you reroll your account?
Or do you have to use different player name every time you reroll?
Yes you can use the same name
I'm confused my Google playstore still has me listed as pre registered for pokemon tcg pocket and it's saying it's not out yet.😢
@@codystromsness2130 I think they soft launched it in New Zealand. Unfortunately, we have to wait for 10 more days.
i thought he was joking when he said you might want to restart your account
