Players are expressing dissatisfaction with the visual presentation of the Community Showcase feature in Pokemon TCG Pocket. While the feature allows players to display their cards with custom sleeves, the current implementation shows cards as small icons alongside the sleeves, rather than within them. This has led to criticism regarding the feature's overall aesthetic appeal, with some players deeming it visually unappealing and underwhelming.
Pokemon TCG Pocket, a faithful mobile adaptation of the physical Pokemon Trading Card Game, offers a comprehensive experience including pack openings, battling, and a community showcase for displaying collections. The showcase, intended as a social feature, allows players to earn in-game tokens based on the number of "likes" their displayed cards receive.
However, a Reddit thread highlights widespread player discontent. The small card icon placement within the showcase is a major point of contention. Some players suspect cost-cutting measures by developer DeNA, while others speculate the design choice aims to encourage closer examination of individual displays.
Currently, no updates are planned for the Community Showcase's visual aspects. However, future updates will introduce virtual card trading, expanding the game's social interaction capabilities. While the game's core mechanics have been well-received, the visual shortcomings of the Community Showcase remain a significant point of feedback from the player base.
