The Top 8 BIGGEST Changes Between Pokémon Pocket TCG and Pokémon TCG Classic! 

You're saying having an EX knocked out is losing ⅔ of your lives, but I think it can sometimes be like only losing ½ your lives. If your first EX is knocked out, you can still keep another EX out and effectively have another 2 lives to lose

Yall, if you have any questions of Glazer’s bona fides, I gotta tell ya, this king is _in touch_ with the top of the Marvel Snap ladder, and the decks he showcases will be what you want to see if you want to succeed early in this game

I never played the OG Pokémon TCG, it was never popular in my country until a few years ago. I enjoyed this video as a history lesson and to start getting familiar with terms and mechanics. It's a lot to process but I'm so happy to learn new things.

Honestly, I can easily imagine evolutions being handled very similarly to how they are in the traditional TCG. Maybe to speed up the game, instead of needing to wait a turn before evolving a Pokemon you just played, you will be able to evolve cards immediately.

i’m very excited to see your coverage of this game! thanks for giving some background on the TCG with this video

Wild Speculation: What if evolving is part of the collection-building part of the game? in game you simply play what you have, with turn limits based on stage of the pokemon. No requirement to play the starter pokemon in your deck or in the game... Might skew a bit too far towards the video games vs the TCG for purists, but the video games are how I know pokemon...

I remember playing OG Pokemon cards with made up rules as kid because we were too young to know English and couldn't understand what the card texts were saying. I stopped paying attention to Pokemon after gen 2, but this game feels like a good opportunity to get back into the franchise and relive some of the fun I had collecting Pokemon cards back in my youth. Hopefully the new battle system can still provide fun and interesting matches so it remains a proper and engaging card game despite the streamlined rules.

It sounds like the normal evolution cycle would still fit within this framework. Ie, you can evolve a Pokemon if you have the evolution card, you just can't evolve a Pokemon on the turn you play it

Glazer, this might be hard because we are still unsure about card acquisition, copies of cards and stuff like that, but how long do you think it will take for the game to go from "I'm playing the pokemon that I like" to "I'm playing with a meta deck"?

SO.. What do you think about this game? Do you think this game will be popular?

Really need to the game to come out so we can answer all these questions lol. Also evos will probably just be cards in your hand that you can play ontop of the active / benched mon to evo them.

I never got deep into the tcg but man, this takes me back to playing gameboy and cracking packs in the good ol' middle school days. Im just as hype for this as SNAP and i know where I'll be getting all my info!

Ugh, accidentally refreshed and lost my comment so now I have to type it all over again :p Firstly, I think the main reason for 3 bench instead of 5 is probably a UI space issue. PTCGO famously struggled with this as they tried to force the portrait orientation. Japanese developers will almost never use landscape because Japanese mobile gamers play A LOT on the metro and need one hand to hold onto the bar, safety strap, etc. As for x2 weakness and resistances, I wouldn't be surprise if they're already in the game and we just haven't seen them yet in the promotional videos. The way they show weakness as "X +20" leaves them design room to do "X x2" whenever they want. For a small basic Pokemon, x2 damage can lead to a one-hit KO, so +20 makes sense, turning a 3 or 4 hit into a 2 hit KO. But for an EX pokemon +20 probably doesn't shift the math too often. Who knows, maybe we'll see +40 or something else so that the impact is felt more on Pokemon with larger HP Energy pools is probably a good thing in the long run. Similar to mana droughts in MTG, it's not uncommon to fall behind on energy curve in Pokemon. In this faster format, that can be disasterous, so having guaranteed energy per turn is a nice way to avoid that. Additionally, with the smaller deck sizes, energy cards would just take up too much precious space. A typical competitive deck would have 12-15 energies, so roughly 1/5 or 1/4 of the deck. For a 20 card deck, that's 4-5 cards...which doesn't leave you much room for other stuff. What we do lose is cards as a resource. Traditionally there have been lots of abilities and effects that require you to discard a card from hand as part of the cost to use that ability/effect. Tossing non-energy cards to pay for these effects might end up being too costly and nerf these classic effects overall. I do hope we still get special energy, like Double colorless, in some way, shape, or form. I always loved special energies. I am curious how they're going to do trainers and supporters. Obviously a card that lets you shuffle your hand and draw 6 would be ridiculously powerful in a 20 card deck format, so I wonder what we'll see for that.

always disliked the energy system, but I played little of the og tcg. Mostly I collected the cards for the art

3 bench might be cause they want the gameplay vertical it's like the yu gi oh duel links situation.

I enjoy your Marvel Snap content so much that I'm here commenting on this video in the hope it pleases the machine gods so they can shine a light on your new content. Appreciate all you do!

If this game had a doubling-cube, I might play it.

this channel called snap judgements sent me

I love the name of this show so much 😂

heeey Glazer, here now to catch up on all the videos on this channel over the weekend. Let's get that watchtime up :)

Should I spend my resources on Bulbasaur? I don’t think it’ll be meta.

I wonder if we will get any V pokémon like in the regular tcg? They stopped V at some point after the first year, i think, for scarlet and violet expansion.

How do I replace Charmander? 🔥

Grass type > plant type.. lol

Another banger. You are getting me more and more amped to try this game.

What if you choose what types of energy you want inside of the energy zone before the match. Depending on what deck you are playing. So the Energy setting is saved with the deck. Or would that just complicate things? 🙂

What is the lore/origin story of the pulse glazer name?
