- Using a proprietary scientific method, I spent months determining which digital Pokemon TCG game is better - PTCGO or PTCGL. The results may blow your socks off and expose your toes.

Damn I picked a weird time to learn pokemon online
Same here.
What is that?
Poor u
Well, same issue for me.
Main problem for me with PTCL despite their graphics downgrade, is the forced PvP, a casual player like me (and my friends) who like to experiment or just chill against IA are done for...
Same bro =/ rip solo
4 month behind, but you can "test" the deck and play against a bot.
@@LuckasReis1 Yeah I know that, sadly said bot seems to be trying to lose everytime lol, I would of prefer a dedicated pve like the one from PTCGO, but it's w/e, seems like this game won't be adding any gameplay-content other than new future cards. 😮💨
Crafting>>>>>>Trading, but the user experience still feels better on PTCGO even though it feels like it's being held together by discarded paper clips and chewed gum at this point.
I love the way TCGO is set up, the navigation, and most of all the playing board. The match interface lacks very few things if nothing, I never have any issues with seeing what is going on or buffs/nerfs. Keeping both games would be benefitial, sadly there isn't enough backlash within the community to keep TCGO, which would have been needed to have any kind of push to keep the game.
Great video. Pokémon is such a massive brand so these shortcomings are baffling. The game should be as detailed, polished and feature-rich as the other top competitors and nothing less.
Damn. That’s a bummer that expanded is almost completely dead in live. I’m a casual player who likes playing expanded in TCGO since it lets me be more creative with building.
Definitely don't migrate if you enjoy Expanded. It's a nothing format right now.
I love grinding to get my decks and have fun with what I worked hard on idk why they added another game I didn’t even knew it existed till today
I REALLY hope they improve and add more features to PTCG Live in the future. I just started playing it and it's somewhat of a bummer seeing how many things PTCG Live DOESN'T have compared to PTCGO.
Having invested thousands of dollars and hours into PTCGO, I am furious at this change. PTCGL is awful. I have played PTCGO since beta, and it deserves a better successor and a better transition than what is currently being done. The original programmers & developers were LIGHTYEARS better at their job than the current PTCGL team. Not having trading in the game is unacceptable. Not having tournaments is poor marketing. The main reason that PTCGL is inferior is that the core concepts of the game are lacking. People WANT TO TRADE CARDS and COMPETE IN TOURNAMENTS. As a Hearthstone high-ranking player since beta, the two MOST COMPLAINED about MISSING FEATURES in that game are TRADING & TOURNAMENTS. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU TAKE THEM OUT OF POKEMON WHEN IT ALREADY HAS THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN THEM?!
Cant sell them microtransactions then. Thats why.
Thank you so much for this video! I really want to keep playing but the developers should really take your advice and fix the game interface ect to be the best of both.
I wish they had the auto deck builder like the old game but I also like the new way you can read a card during games in the new game.
dude youre gonna lose hard if you rely on auto deck builder
u could do that before
I demand a name change. Calling it Pokémon Trading Card Game Live is deceptive. It's now a card collecting game, it has not trading.
trading card games can have online sims..without trading
The way he was just like " If you followed my directions from the last video and bought 400 celebrations codes you should have around 200 thousand credits" and then just carried on . I thought that was really funny.
The main issue I have with TCG Live is that it overheats and drains the battery too quickly. Even a game like Genshin Impact, which I play frequently, does not heat up and drain my battery as much as TCG Live.
This makes me wonder what it is about a simple card game that drains your battery so quickly. Is it really necessary for a card game to consume so much power? I can't even play TCG Live for an extended period of time. I'm just finishing the daily quest and closing the app for the day. TCG online did not drain my battery or cause it to overheat. The game play on TCGO online was far superior. The only features of TCG Live that I enjoy are the battle pass and crafting system.
I recorded three minutes of mobile footage for this video. In those three minutes my battery lost 20%.
bcoz the Pokemon cards requires Energy to play.... ok that was terrible sorry
@@13KuroNekoXIII holy crap true whahhaahaha
the only reason why I’m changing it’s because I don’t own any of the new cards and the free decks help a lot to make a competitive one
TCGL is terrible and I honestly fear for it to be forced on players. While I think that the graphics are generally better and the game has a smoother overall layout, they are also scrapping trading which is an extremely crucial part of TCGO. I know of a couple people who quite TCGO because of how they thought TCGL would be mandated causing no trading. Its also harder to get real meta decks in TCGL. I hope Pokemon honestly scraps TCGL and may invest in the graphics of TCGO a little more.
just don't migrate and pray they will take their heads out of their asses
your right in that, but i will say TCGL is better in the apsect of being able to get meta deck much easier and collectiing card becomes easier. (sure getting secret rares are also easier, so it defeats the purpose of its vaule) but i still love it, cuz im not a rich guy, so i prefer that. but TCGO is much better if we exclude the way of getting cards
trading is fun in TCGO just not exactly a must have. this goes back to being poor and rich. like TCGO is only for the rich people that have money for pack. since its so hard to get gold to buy packs and u cant farm much when u dont have a decent deck.. i farmed a lot back in EX days and got a decent meta deck only for gx and v pokemons to come out. i hope you understand what i mean? TCGO is better at everything except for the being able to play with a decent deck. and TCGL has a casual and ranked which we dont have in TCGO so i like tht. in other words TCGL has more potential then TCGO.
if they just make TCGL into more like a hearthstone... ui and arena wise,, then its perfecttt
Its still in beta dude. Chill the fuck out.
No way, they took out the trading from a trading card game
Ptcglive looks… not just aesthetically like a steaming pile. I hope they just scrap it & hire direwolf to just upgrade the aesthetics in ptcgo.
I'm thinking Direwolf probably doesn't want to work with Pokemon again after being dropped with Live.
Thank you very much. At least I won't keep to myself all my rants and questions about why they are actually replacing PTCGO with Live.
Am i wrong, i think you get only 5 cards from one code in Tcg live..? Did i miss something ? I used the QR code from the code card. I saw the openings from ptcgo and there are 10 cards
This is something I'm used to growing up with Nintendo products, I mainly jumped into TCG as I more recently started buying physical decks again & a bonus was getting codes that could help me expand my knowledge as a beginner (Noob). Typically I bought cards as a kid to collect rather then play. In saying this I mainly jumped on TCG to collect daily coins to earn more decks to play through the single player mode & get used to the rule. I know its basic as but playing afew NPC is nice enough to spend some time while relaxing. Thanks for putting the single player comparison in this video (20min20sec in) as no one els has confirmed having a single player mode in live... once June comes round & TCG is sunset... I may just uninstall it & have one less game to play (possibly migrate it to live especially if TCG is no longer available to play at all & I wanna keep the decks I've earned/collected)
Hey, I’m a mobile user of TCG live and have noticed that there is a view deck option. Is this something that was added after this video was released or was it only ever available for mobile users?
There are a lot of bugs in TGCL on the computer e.g. in the selection situation I am not able to select any card. The mobile version works better but poorly optimized. I like so much more to play on the computer.
Wow that was a lot!You deserve a little break after this video
i miss the pack collection man, i migrated my account and didnt realize i would loose my progress on the first game
Yeah I think I might have messed up on my account. Cuz what I did was I just (or so I thought) had transferred all of my account from PTCGO to PTCG LIVE. That didn't happen. So when I downloaded the PTCGO, I logged in and it said that my account has already been migrated. Am I SOL on that, Or is there a way that I migrate back to get all of my cards that I had and transfer them to PTCGO Live?
Great video!
(sry for the english) i still can't play tcg live because there so many bug i can't even pull card from my deck or shit like that what can i do to get my game work ?
I really enjoyed playing PTCGO, and had a lot of rare cards.
When the merge happened I wanted to transfer my account, but the new Pokemon TCG Live still hasn't come out in Japan, so I cannot play it anymore 🤨. I hope that Japan gets a release soon. It might be possible with a VPN, but I head that people who change their IP get banned.
9 months later I downloaded live and I was ready to try the game but I can't get pass the loading screen 😂
How do you get the game report screen at 21:06. My game just shows me an MVP Pokémon and it’s damage dealt.
There's options at the bottom left of the summary screen on PTCGO.
Watching the trailer I thought it would be a huge success, but unexpected plot twist. . . It’s actually a DISASTER 🧨💥💣🌋
(Except for some people who believe otherwise)
1:47 my brother in Christ I think you missed the mark with that one 😭😂😅
Ok here is what I was thinking. Is it smart if I redeemed my packs in TCG Online because they have 10 cards in the packs and THEN I migrate to TCG Live (because TCG Live has only 5 cards in the packs)
It's better to open packs in Live and use packs in PTCGO to trade for 4 copies of cards - th-cam.com/video/9tsFbSJDywo/w-d-xo.html
Something small but would be lit if the background music can put battle songs from the games
I do hope TCGL can improve since it's still in beta, but it's January 2023 (almost February), & a lot of the issues are still there, like currency being scarce, booting up the game, & a few other things
they dont care, why put love into it when you dont make any profit anyway. Honestly just put microtransaction in it and make the game better i dont mind honestly. Look at master duel, while game is super expensive the game quality justify it.
@@Bos_Meong master duel is very high quality looking, even when it released
Trading card game but no trade
@@melodylove9196 so just CG
I wish trading was possible in TCG Live. Like wth, how can that be missing for the Pokemon TRADING Card Game Live?!
Just lost a PTCG Live game because after I played my game winning boss's orders it didn't let me select the mewtwo V I needed to knock out and take my last two prize cards, instead I had to switch up one of their solrocks to not time out and lose, then got knocked out by their mewtwo. yikes
best part is I was watching this video and was thinking "come on, Live can't be that bad, its going pretty smoothly for me" then it must've read my mind or something and gave me a game losing glitch. Fantastic.
I got stuck in a match because it asked me to drag a basic Pokemon in the active spot when I already did :-/ it never let me out, the timer didn’t even change at all, or even let me do anything, and I don’t want it to count as a loss because I didn’t even play for it at all, so I’m not sure what to do and I have no idea if it will count if I exit the app.
It also got rid of the shortcuts in the original game, ex. you used to be able to drag supporter cards to the Pokemon you wanted to select, so you didn’t use time dragging it to the middle, and then clicking it.
I would still be playing O but for some reason, some day it stopped working, wouldn't uninstall, and even after fully deleting everything and reinstalling the game it wouldn't work. Then I tried installing it on a brand new PC. Still nothing. Oh well.
This isn't even like the difference between magic arena and MTGO, the same games with much different focus (if you're playing MTGO still it's probably for eternal formats and to draft cube) This is just 2 different versions of the same game but one is worse than the other, so strange. The only real difference it seams is crafting, why not just add crafting to the old one? It's not like there is a huge secondary market that will be upended like with MTG.
Adding crafting to PTCGO would have saved The Pokemon Company so much money and so many headaches.
I been trying to look this up but cant find any answers. PTCGO has Trainer Gallery cards, but Live doesn't. What happens to my Trainer Gallery cards when you Merge? Do you lose them or get converted to other Rarity of the card?
If you click on a card in Live then click Available, all the different arts for that card will appear, including Trainer Gallery cards.
@@TrustYourPilotTCG okay I see that now. Weird because when I was coping deck list over from PTCGO over to live it wouldn't copy over the decklist due to couldn't find my Trainer Gallery Cards. Just wanted to make that when I do Merge my accounts in the future I don't lose those cards.
It was likely because the Trainer Gallery cards have a different set name / set number. Replacing cards in a deck list on Live can be tedious, that's for sure.
I never played ptcgo much so I decided to merge my account today to live, did nobody’s cards transfer over? I feel like I had way more cards in O than i do in L
If they were Expanded cards you have to click ALL in Filters to show all your cards. It defaults to Standard.
I miss PTCGO so much. I was just picking up the game when I found out they were turning it off. Live is just less good, and very overwhelming to one who isn't familiar with any of it.
as of today surely both games had ther patches and for a complete beginner to start with a friend wich one is recommanded?
PTCGO is gone forever, so PTCGL is your only choice now - th-cam.com/play/PL7aWMdyM6cCNR07bSxsUsTPIWei7NZHB7.html
Also what happens to all of our decks build decks in ptcgo do they not transfer to live cuz I really don't feel like building all of them again cuz it can be hard to remember every single card depending on how many Decks we build
You have to export the deck lists to a Word document, then copy and paste them into Live when you're in the game.
has there been any new updates in live that fix the features that were lacking or missing?
My video tomorrow will answer that question.
Why does 25th anniversary packs give more credits than a regular standard pack? I recently saved up packs for migration for crystals but want to make sure I am getting the max amount for my bux so to speak.
Celebrations cards are only rare or higher - th-cam.com/play/PL7aWMdyM6cCNR07bSxsUsTPIWei7NZHB7.html
You read my mind with that meme
Really wish PTCGO was preserved (local server emulator) for playing against the AI. Sure, the AI wasn't the greatest, but the next newest Pokemon TCG game is a GBC game, so there's not exactly competition (the GBC games are awesome for sure, but after decades they do get kinda old).
I want to try PTCGL, but I live in Japan, and cant seem to DL it without getting a VPN. I have played PTCGO for 6-7 years from Japan with no trouble. Im also a little scared of migrating my account, because I have alot of money and effort put into my PTCGO account.
Definitely don't migrate. Just play Live if you can or stay on PTCGO until it finally shuts down - th-cam.com/video/9tsFbSJDywo/w-d-xo.html
Personally like online better but I’m bias having only played live for about a week now… I’m not migrating any time soon
I do like how I can play live on my phone tho that’s the only benefit…
I was searching for couple kyurem cards, but the cards are not in the new game 😮. Wil they add those as wel?
You have to select ALL in Filters and cards you don't own / not valid in Standard will appear.
@@TrustYourPilotTCG i think it is a issue on the phone app, still can’t find the cards. I will try it out on the pc tomorrow. Thank you very much for helping me.
Enbigen is my new favorite word.
I miss Tournaments but I could play on my phone now, instant win 😂
I never knew PTCGL was a thing iv been playing TCGO my entire life since i was 5 damn time flies past
You still have at least a few more months of PTCGO!
@@TrustYourPilotTCG Im still gonna miss it 😭
It takes over 5 minutes for PTCGO to start on my 9 year old laptop with a hard drive. Often 8 minutes. I don't even want to know how long it would take for Pokemon TCG Live to start on my laptop.
wait so are all my cards gunna get transfered over to live then when im forced to switch over??
Up to 4 copies of most cards you own will transfer over to Live when you migrate.
You can choose DON'T MIGRATE and be able to play both games at the same time - th-cam.com/video/9tsFbSJDywo/w-d-xo.html
Live takes me abt 20seconds to open (gtx 1070) but also makes this weird screeching noise
Yeah, that screeching noise only started after the Lost Origin update in September. Not sure how the developers managed to do that.
Great video. But you know what? As someone who only plays on an Android smartphone, I am actually pretty happy with TCGL. :) But yes, it still can be improved.
I also play on my Android smartphone, and I play TCGO
I play ptcgo on my phone, it works fine
Finally downloaded it for the free decks... wow, Live is straight garbage. Worse in every way from the old game I still play. And the graphics are hilariously bad on my iPad, even though they are perfectly fine in Online.
There’s no question, Live is a clear example of total incompetence of management and design.
I have a little doubt, does the Beta Rewards Deck Box Transfer to PTCGO Live?
I wasn't able to try it for myself, but I don't think any deck boxes with PTCGO branding transfer to Live.
@@TrustYourPilotTCG That's good to know, thanks
@@TrustYourPilotTCG they are such assholes for doing that. Thank goodness my worlds boxes transfered
can the save files share for both game? all the card collection
As long as you log in with the same account you had in PTCGO, many cards will migrate to Live.
Well one good thing today I thought I wouldn't be able to play Lugia but they just gave it to us live
Yep! And if you reach Level 8 you have basically everything you need.
Does poke tcg has a ai mode where you play against bots because I just got 2 redeem packs and I'm interested in playing it
You can play against that AI in PTCGL using the Test Deck feature, but they'll always play horribly and try to deck themselves out. Otherwise it's just PvP.
Can the PC end of Pokemon TCG Online switch to the iOS end of Pokemon TCG Live?
It's the account that migrates. So your TCG Live account works on the PC/Mac/iOS/Android versions.
I cant play ptcgo bc says im logged in Pokémon live. I want to play ptcgo not live what can i do?
If you migrated to TCG Live, you can't go back to PTCGO.
@@TrustYourPilotTCG aaaaahh
Went to try out TCG live and merged my cards and now I can't get back into my tcg online account, so pissed. Tcg live has some cool new features but the set up is super whack and almost seems like a knock off version of the original. Not being able to put it into landscape mode is a huge downfall in my opinion.
They got you too, huh? haha I didn't read the migration rules either, pretty dumb of them to make players pick and choose between the two. I miss my old expanded deck :(
1:47 you did what to a dead horse
never tried the og PTCG, but playing now from Live as not only a pokemon card fan but a card game fan who has moved to strickly online because things are pricey af. its nice but as a card sim it kinda sucks. like ya u can craft but u cant dismantle, it makes me feel like making decks i wanna play is gonna be horrid unless i drop $$. i like how i can test decks vs AI with cards i dont own but like, id rather vs players or friends.
Like look at Runeterra, Master Duel, hell Hearthstone all could dismantle cards to make ones you want. this doesnt
why i cant download tcg live at windows ? is it still region lock or something ?
There's certain regions you can't download TCG Live in. If it's not where you are, a VPN should let you access it.
Lol I’m still waiting to try play it 😂
Remember folks, the toes are always important.
Me when my phone can only run Live so I don't get a choice in options.
1:46 Um...pretty sure the saying is just "Beating a dead horse"...😄
Ty
I can only play live on my device unfortunately
celebrations codes now worth a dollar 💀💀💀
1:47 YOU’RE DOING WHAT
Very NICE
Tcg Live looks bad on ipad can’t change graphics
no theme deck 😢
Direwolf should make their own version of ptcgo, if only...
The answer to this question is dead f*cking clear and the migration to TCGL is stupid, yet i must do it anyways
And the goddamn lack of landscape mode for ipad in Live. Wtf.
The one thing I don't like I about the game is that you cant fight with ai players and move to the next round your forced to deal with better players and you have no chance at winning which sucks
@1:45 yo is it just me or did he just say beating off a dead horse
I just started the video and I'm already shocked. PTCGO has always opened so slowly, so to hear that Live is even slower... Yikes.
how do you play PTCGO while its shutted down
You can't, unfortunately.
Nice, but which game is more f2p friendly ?
With PTCGO gone forever, PTCGL wins every category by default now.
What are you doing to that dead horse??? 💀
I really want to play PTCGL but it’s not in UAE
Btw love your vids❤❤❤
Just use a VPN, even a free one will work
The beta should be available worldwide later this month!
@@TrustYourPilotTCG Really! I’m excited to play
@@TrustYourPilotTCG Really! I’m excited to play
Is there a way to go back to tcg online?
If you migrated, you can't go back.
Is PTCGO deleted or smth? I tried searching for it but only PTCGL.
It went offline forever earlier this year.
@@TrustYourPilotTCGhuh 😦
Bring back pokemon PTCGO!
Also ptcgo should not be sunsetted but instead updated even if that means it's not available on phone devices I 110% don't care if it's not mobile I care I'm going to lose items I've spent my hard earned money on and knowing it's going to be a horrible grind to regain what I have lost.that and the simple fact I can't go back and play old decks I made years ago in expansion bums me right out bc what's the point collecting any more? That let alone the grind of buying physical cards to acquire a small amount of packs as opposed to trading extras you get for more chances.
Even if you can make the cards it takes the thrill of getting lucky away from openings to trading in my opinion that was my favorite part!!!! 💔🥺
Ok, watching the video I already found 1 thing in PTCGO is better than TCG Live, and that is the button to show the mat while you're using a card to search for something, TCG Live is bad in this regard, sometimes we just want to make sure what is on the mat or in my hands before choosing the correct card, and a wrong card by mistake is the last thing player want.
People who have wifi - tcgo is best
People like me - tcgl in good for me
😢
Excuse me, Sir TrustYourPilot, could I get the Gossifleur for free for my Charizard-themed deck? Pretty please.

Unfortunately, I migrated to TCG Live in February and all of my Gossifleur were erased from existence in the migration.

Can I still download and play PTCGO? Where/How might I do that? 😅
Unfortunately, PTCGO is gone forever.

Why I stopped playing
Did you guys not get all your cards from migration I didn’t
