Pokemon TCG Pocket's Community Showcase: A Visual Letdown?
Players are voicing concerns about the aesthetic appeal of the Community Showcase in Pokemon TCG Pocket. While appreciating the feature's inclusion, many find the card display underwhelming. Cards appear as small icons beside their sleeves, leaving significant empty space and a less-than-impressive overall presentation.
Pokemon TCG Pocket faithfully recreates the physical card game experience on mobile, allowing players to open packs, collect cards, and battle online. The game boasts a comprehensive feature set, including a public showcase for players' collections.
However, the Community Showcase, while a welcome addition, is generating negative feedback. Reddit threads highlight players' dissatisfaction with the small card icons displayed alongside large sleeves. Some speculate this was a cost-cutting measure by developer DeNA, while others suggest it's a deliberate design choice to encourage closer examination of each display.
Currently, no updates to the Showcase's visuals are planned. However, future updates will introduce virtual card trading, adding another social element to the game. Despite the game's overall success, this visual critique of a key feature underscores the importance of player feedback in game development.
