i think worth to note that for pokemon tcg (including pocket version) there are some rare cards is just alternative to normal version, which is purely just for collection purpose like this : www.pokemon-zone.com/cards/genetic-apex-meowth/ www.pokemon-zone.com/cards/promo-a-meowth/ www.pokemon-zone.com/cards/genetic-apex-a1-meowth-2/ that same meowth card with just different art/foil i am not sure how many card that have alternate version like above, but i think around 15% of set-list i am not completely agree with saying the game is pay-to-win because like any TCG, considering we dont need full complete set to build a deck, casual player can play with whatever cards they have and play just fine, and tuning their deck as they getting new cards player that have more cards obviously have more selection to build deck they want, but that not always make them auto-win because each deck have strong point&weakness then like real tcg or hearthstone, people that enjoy the game and play alot, will more likely want to spend to get more card they want edit : i checked the reddit post, seems the op edited his post like this : www.pokemon-zone.com/cards/genetic-apex-meowth/ www.pokemon-zone.com/cards/promo-a-meowth/ www.pokemon-zone.com/cards/genetic-apex-a1-meowth-2/ that same meowth card with just different art/foil i am not sure how many card that have alternate version like above, but i think around 15% of set-list i am not completely agree with saying the game is pay-to-win because like any TCG, considering we dont need full complete set to build a deck, casual player can play with whatever cards they have and play just fine, and tuning their deck as they getting new cards player that have more cards obviously have more selection to build deck they want, but that not always make them auto-win because each deck have strong point&weakness then like real tcg or hearthstone, people that enjoy the game and play alot, will more likely want to spend to get more card they want edit : i checked the reddit post, seems the op edited his post "TL;DR: 655 days of continuous playing, or 437 with the premium pass
