TL;DR

A Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket player, Weens4Life, spent $1,500 and opened 1,741 booster packs to complete the Genetic Apex set, highlighting the challenges of collecting all cards, especially the rare alternate art ones. Completing the set took significant time and money, with the game offering limited free packs daily. Despite the cost, Weens4Life found the experience worthwhile but plans to focus only on base sets in the future. Pokémon TCG Pocket has been highly successful, earning $120 million in three weeks with 30 million downloads.
