Pokémon TCG Pocket: Balancing First Turn Mechanics and Player Rewards
TL;DR
In Pokémon TCG Pocket, going first is disadvantageous as players skip the initial energy draw, leaving them unable to engage effectively in battles. This imbalance has become a meme within the community, especially highlighted during the game's first PvP event. While other card games have mechanisms to balance turn order advantages, TCG Pocket's current setup heavily favors the second player, leading to calls for better balance adjustments.
