Pokemon TCG Pocket players are fed-up with a time-consuming feature
Pokemon TCG Pocket is beginning to irritate players with its penchant for soaking up precious minutes. Luckily, trainers have a solution in mind.
Pokemon TCG Pocketexploded out of the gate; quickly drawing inover 30 million usersandsurpassing Pokemon GO’s daily revenue. The mix ofcollecting rare cardsandbattling with friendshas made it a popular property for the monster-catching franchise.
Of course, it’s not without its faults and now that the dust has settled and players have spent more time with the game, some cracks are beginning to show. Theexcessive feel of coin-flip animationsslowing down battles is a sore point and a similar criticism of the game’s collection aspect has emerged.
At present, Pokemon TCG Pocket defaults to booster packs from theMythical Island expansionwhen you choose to open up more cards. Players have complained that this is massively slowing down the experience.
Pokemon TCG Pocket’s default booster packs hamper the pace of the game
Initially raised by Reddit userBazF91, being forced to navigate between multiple menus to select their preferred booster pack has become frustrating. “Whenever I open the game, I need to press several buttons and wait a while to actually choose the Genetic Apex set I want,” they explained.
Other players have inferred that this is part of a larger problem with Pokemon TCG Pocket. “One of many things with this game that forces you to go through lots of additional unnecessary screens,” one usercomplained. “This game is a UX nightmare and I am sure it is on purpose,” anotheradded.
With many dedicated players having finished their Mythical Island collections, these packs being the default seems to be a widespread point of contention.

“It would be better if you could set the pack you want to auto open on,” one trainersuggestedas a means of improving the issue. “Even Genetic Apex always starts on Mewtwo so I wish I could set it to Charizard for example.”
As more sets become available, it’s likely that this problem will become exacerbated. Whether or not Pokemon TCG Pocket’s development team will add the option to choose a preferred default booster pack remains to be seen.
