Today, March 6, Pokémon TCG Pocket launched its latest Emblem Event. The Triumphant Light SP Emblem event tasks players with winning five consecutive times against other opponents. Players can earn up to four emblems by scoring consecutive wins, along with several other mission rewards. Over on Reddit, some players were less than thrilled with the return of the event. "I will shamelessly copy whatever counters the most optimal deck to get the medals," wrote Uzi_Doormat, when discussing strategy for the event.

While many players aren't fans of the Emblem events, I feel they do have an important role within Pokémon TCG Pocket. Not only do they provide players with a challenge, they also create an important bonding experience among players. Ultimately, the SP Emblem event comes down to luck, as some players can coast through the event with a series of easy match-ups and concessions and others struggle against superior decks. These common experiences make Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket more fun and flesh out the game a bit more.
