Is Pokémon Pay to Win

2024/01/29

Two players got banned at the Liverpool tournament this past weekend for using cloned Pokémon on their teams.

Paldean Fates, the newest Shiny TCG set, has arrived. The Pikachu Van Gogh situation gets another update. Pokémon GO makes some good quality of life changes.
