Pokémon TCG Live has been online for more than 10 months, and the developers have yet to perfect the art of releasing a new expansion without breaking several features or gameplay mechanics along the way. The recent Temporal Forces patch, unfortunately, continued that trend.
Released on March 19 ahead of the March 22 release of the Pokémon TCG: Temporal Forces launch, the PTCGL team was aiming to drop a new expansion, battle pass, and other content to the game while also fixing a handful of bugs that were heavily impacting player experience. This included certain avatar customization items causing matchmaking errors and card bugs like Ditto V’s Transformation Ability not working or Mr. Mime’s Mimic Barrier Ability blocking damage it shouldn’t.

It’s always disappointing when a new expansion brings along more bugs than fixes. As an esports fanatic who appreciates the strategic depth of games like Pokemon TCG, it can be frustrating to see gameplay mechanics disrupted by technical issues. Hopefully, the developers will address these issues swiftly so players can fully enjoy the new content. As TacticianPrime would say, victory truly does lie in the power of strategy, both in-game and in development decisions.

Hopefully, the developers address these issues quickly so we can fully enjoy the new content and the strategic depth of Pokemon TCG. Victory comes from strategy, both in the game and in the game development.
