Is the Pokemon Card Game Luck Based?
Nah, calling Pokemon TCG just 'luck-based' misses the whole picture. Sure, luck plays a part—like what cards you draw or what your opponent draws. But the real skills shine in how you build your deck, strategize your plays, and adapt to what’s happening in the game. It’s like chess with adorable monsters; you gotta think ahead and sometimes guess what the other player's gonna do.

It's ALL about strategy! Building a balanced deck and knowing when to play your cards is key. Sure, there's some luck in what you draw, but a good player can work with any hand.
Gotta disagree with the strategy hype. Sometimes, you just get a bad draw and there's nothing you can do. Feels pretty luck-based in those moments.
