Pokémon TCG Pocket was announced a few months ago, and they finally gave us a release date and a new trailer! The app looks pretty cool. I'm excited to try it out and open some packs. I'm curious how many cards there will be at launch.

Now that it's finally out, I have to say I wasn't expecting the simplified battle system, and I'm honestly still a little mixed on it. Of course Live exists for playing the "real" tcg, but it would've been nice if there was at least the option to play with the original rules. I guess they didn't want to create competition between their apps though.

I've been enjoying the game so far. I actually think I like the simplified battle mechanics - it feels very similar to how the game felt years back before EX cards and fancy stuff like that. Evolve and put energies on, attack! I don't have a ton of great cards yet, but I have enough hourglasses to open tons of packs this weekend!

I have a bad problem with hoarding, I'm probably still gonna have 200 "just in case" months from now XD
The meta does feel very similar to early pokemon TCG, idk if you've played competitive leagues for it but it's very similar to how you described, with big emphasis on basic attackers doing decent damage for cheap. It is a fun meta, but I'm hoping cards don't end up all feeling the same later down the line
