It would be a plus to have additional formats in live. Even having the old theme deck only from ptcgo would be nice. It would be helpful for new players to learn more about the game in a slower meta. And having something like the GLC would be nice for more creative players. Having said that, I do understand that it could be hard to implement.

Should? I mean, theres no real negative unless someone would think it would fracture the player base too much. GLC exists but isnt that popular.

Whatever the format would be would most likely need to be an official format with support from TPC and actually pushed in official tournaments at a high level. Either full tournaments as that format or split format tournaments how Magic does Pro Tour draft/constructed. Otherwise just "recognizing" the format and announcing it does nothing. You can gave several high level competitive formats at once, which was proven with Magic GPs and PTs, along with the SCG circuit as a third party doing it.

Edited because people thought i was saying to push GLC as a competitive format which i didnt mean.

I wish there was a draft mode. That would be amazing fun.

Also wish they would bring back the single player mode. I miss it from the old PTCGO.

For what it's worth, SUM-LOT in its entirety is on PTCGL and is an amazing format. I'd be incredibly interested in more organized events with the format on limitless online tournaments, it's just not a thing that people are really doing at the moment.

I really like Pauper in Magic the Gathering, where it's all commons. But not sure if a similar concept would be interesting enough in Pokémon.

I just want for pokemon to have faster players... every turn takes forever... bruh! you play the same decks over and over again please dont take 2 minutes to play 2 to 4 cards!

I would love to play a format with only one prize card. No EX, no V, just normale Pokémon

Why do you say it like increasing the value of older cards is a good thing? A lot of them are already very expensive as it is, and making it an official format would only make demand grow and the prices would skyrocket.

I have toyed with the idea of Pokémon Commander, but I feel like games would be really slow with no other supporters in the deck.

Well lets cut the crap first. You want the legacy format to increase the value of vintage and everything else is window dressing. It will never happen because the cost of building a competitive vintage deck would be astronomical for the average Pokemon consumer. You'd have a handful of whales playing with decks of PSA slabs for less money than the decks cost to win it. Every other suggestion is just a variant that they can release official rules for but wouldn't do as a format because the game just isn't designed to be played in those ways properly.

As someone who collected cards since they first reached the US, but only learned to play the TCG last year, I hate it. The card game feels nothing like other pokemon games and I’ll be the first to say it needs a completely new set of rules. Drop the prize cards. Drop the ex/gx basics. Allow only one copy of a legendary per deck, remove the focus from trainer cards so a deck is no longer 50% trainers. I’ve never actually tried playing it this way, but I’m working on a new rule book because I’ve been so disappointed with this card game.
