Pokemon TCG Pocket's Community Showcase: A Visual Critique
Players of Pokemon TCG Pocket are voicing concerns about the visual presentation of the Community Showcase feature. While appreciating the feature's inclusion, many find the display of cards alongside sleeves underwhelming and visually unappealing due to excessive empty space.
Pokemon TCG Pocket faithfully recreates the physical Pokemon TCG experience on mobile, allowing players to open packs, collect cards, and battle. The game offers a robust feature set, including a Community Showcase for displaying collections.
However, a Reddit thread highlights widespread dissatisfaction with the Showcase's aesthetics. Users point out that cards are presented as small icons beside their sleeves, rather than being displayed prominently within them. This has led to accusations of developer DeNA cutting corners, although alternative explanations suggest a design choice to encourage closer examination of each display.
Currently, there are no announced plans to revamp the Community Showcase's visuals. However, future updates will introduce virtual card trading, expanding the game's social interaction capabilities. This suggests a focus on enhancing social features rather than immediate visual improvements to the existing Showcase.
