If by 'not compatible,' you mean why can't you play Pokemon TCG across different platforms or versions, it's basically because the game's mechanics and card interactions are very intricate. Plus, maintaining uniformity and balance across multiple platforms can be a colossal task for developers. Each version is tailored to provide the best experience on its respective platform, which means making compromises for compatibility isn't always feasible.

Lol, because making Pokemon TCG universally compatible would be harder than convincing a Magikarp not to splash.

The whole compatibility issue boils down to one thing: updating and balancing. Constant updates and new card releases mean keeping everything compatible would be a nightmare for the developers. Plus, it ensures that players get the freshest experience tailored to the medium they're using.

Pokemon TCG isn't compatible in the sense you can't just mix and match cards or versions for any game. The physical cards and the online versions operate on different systems. Plus, the rules and card sets keep evolving, so something from 10 years ago might not mesh well with the current meta.
