After fighting against all odds, I finally managed to complete the Genetix Apex set in Pokémon TCGP, the set that originally launched the game, characterized by its Mewtwo, Charizard, and Pikachu protagonists.
It wasn't an easy task and required many trades, magical choices, and a bit of luck to complete the quest. This, by the way, helped me obtain a secret immersive version of Mew (yes, the one that requires completing the Singing Pokedex) and a couple of avatars that I plan to use from now on.
Although I admit that I'm slowly getting a little more into the game and dedicating more hours to the battle mode (crucial if we want to collect enough clocks to open more packs), I'm a little shocked by the speed at which new sets are being released.
Triumphant Light isn't even a month old, and we already have the date for the next expansion, which will focus primarily on shiny Pokémon (special Pokémon with alternate colors) and will be released on March 27th.
While it's great to have a steady stream of cards, at least in my case, I've only managed to complete two of the four collections that have been released. And while I'm pretty close to completing the other two (I only have two cards left from Triumphant Light and Space Time Smackdown, respectively), I feel like the window between releases isn't long enough to fully enjoy the achievements I've earned.
Still, I'm a little excited about the future of this great game, especially if this next update is used to further refine the trading system, making it no longer necessary to use third-party apps like PokeTrade to complete the various sets.
However, credit where credit is due, I like that it's been a challenging mission, and I feel like I've been able to make quite a bit of progress without having to pay real money. I hope things continue to be this way in the medium and long term.
Do I still recommend Pokémon TCGP? Of course, I do, especially if you have friends and acquaintances to trade and compare card collections with.
