If Pokémon Pocket doesn’t try something new, our love affair is over

As with sudden love affairs, my relationship with Pokémon Pocket is starting to fizzle. I was at first enamored by its charming simplicity. Its streamlined battles were the perfect gateway to more complex Pokémon TCG games, and its free-to-play pack openings gave me a way to engage with the hobby without spending money. Sadly, all the things I loved the game for have begun to grate on me – and if Pokémon Pocket doesn’t change soon, I fear our relationship may be over.
