And, as part of that modernization, there are new methods to obtain and purchase digital products within the game. Unlike PTCGO, TCG Live focuses on providing players with more ways to add cards and other products to their digital library\u2014including by transferring some of their TCGO products over to the newer platform.\u00a0 These updated purchasing methods are facilitated through multiple types of in-game currency that pair with the existing use of physical code cards that players get through purchasing actual TCG products. And, while you can make in-game purchases, wary fans don\u2019t need to worry about extensive microtransactions.\u00a0 Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live: Microtransactions and in-game purchases, explained The Pok\u00e9mon Company is not including the standard form of microtransactions players might have been expecting in Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live. The in-game purchases for TCG Live focus on rewarding players who play the game, complete quests, raise their battle pass level, and redeem product code cards. This means there are no in-app purchases that require players to use actual money to unlock content. Related: All Pok\u00e9mon TCG Live currency explained: Coins, Credits, Crystals Despite that, product code cards can be considered a form of in-game purchase since players do have to spend money on physical Pok\u00e9mon TCG products in order to get those codes and redeem them online. While not a microtransaction, it drives players to spend real currency to obtain digital goods.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20091536\/TCGL_Keyart_Horizontal_RGB_EN-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459414"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=459414"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":857882,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459414\/revisions\/857882"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/459112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=459414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=459414"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=459414"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=459414"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=459414"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=459414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
