In the game itself, it comes first to learn the basics of the card game. So dealing with the Pokemon cards per se, internalize the energy card and the coach cards. At the beginning you get a fairly equal usable deck with which you can then deny shortly after the game starts the first tournaments. In every battle there are booster packs to gain that can be used to increase its card stock then quickly in order to create their own decks in other compilations. About several steps to defeat opponents, win medals and ultimately the "legendary Pokemon cards".
The criticism because of too short season I can not understand. I have been involved I 24 hours with the game (according to the meter in the game). The first is to imitate any modern title for significantly more money. They are often played out after a much shorter time.
All in all I would recommend this game any Pokemon fan warmly. Just when you basically is interested to learn the card game and to play, you're right here.
