    You do need a PC unfortunately and you will lose all your data since you don't have backups. Since you don't have a PC other alternative is to take it to an Apple Store or try to borrow someone's computer.

    Best of luck to you! Hope you get it restored, if You happen to have a backup in the cloud you can restore from that.

    So even this game can launch with a tournament mode yet hearthstone can't? That's all that's missing from that game to have had me keep playing it.

    Can't believe this isn't at the top of the iPad charts yet haha.

    This brings back memories.

    Don't let that keep you from playing Hearthstone, it's easily the best of it's kind on IOS.

    1.1GB of space installed and I keep getting out of disk space when loading the game, so annoying

    After playing through the tutorial, and downloading assets, it's 1.1gb installed on my iPad Mini Retina. I'll play a little more, but so far I see nothing that will tear me away from Hearthstone as my go-to card game. The mechanics aren't nearly as inviting, the UI is comparatively clumsy, and the quality of the presentation doesn't justify the large file size.

    I had the Game Boy Color version of P:TCG, and it was so fun, I preferred it to any "proper" Pokemon game.

    This version, is a static, charmless and artistically barren mess. I hate it.

    There's simply no joy in it.

    Well, I figured out why the game kept crashing on my IPad Air. It has to do with the memory issue mentioned several times on this thread. I underestimated how much this game balloons with every pack you open. I opened 5 packs and the file size jumped to 2.2 gigs. If you don't have enough storage space to open all the packs you have saved up, it won't even let you log in until you do. Disappointing to say the least.

    I concur with others that this APP overall lacks any charm. Even the player avatars are bland Western art style rather than anime designs that the entire franchise is known for. I'm continually frustrated with how annoying it is simply to zoom in on a card, and the interface is horrible, riddled with unexplained icons and rules. I selected an option to build a legal deck and it didn't even filter out cards that were not legal, waiting until I saved my creation to inform me that my deck wasn't legal and I would have to hunt for the cards that were in violation. Heck, even figuring out where to go to open packs was a chore. It seems like nothing about this APP was designed to be intuitive.

    Deleted, which is a shame. I was really excited abut this release. With all the excellent examples of physical card and board games implemented on digital platforms well, it's a wonder someone with access to a brand as recognized as Pokémon would make such a substandard product.

    I'm having fun with it but the space issue is a big turnoff I hope they fix this, the cards should be kept on the server not our device. I wasn't one to buy the cards as a kid all of my friends had them I only played the game boy games and now the 3DS games, never the card game. It's a fun game with good mechanics.

    I don't understand your complaint. The game is targeted at KIDS and if it requires a confirmation email that's a good thing.

    If your insulted because you're 49 years old... well they assumed this kiddie title would be played by KIDS... Maybe 7 to 16 year olds.

    You should still be trying to conquer the world in real life. ;-)

    Did it actually say your child had registered? I ask because my confirmation email didn't say that at all. It did have instructions for activating a child's account, but it was after the main message and the "verify your email" button. That sounds like a completely legit and harmless thing to have for a game like this.

    Anyway, the app crashed on my iPad 3 three times before I could play my first match. I've never played this in any form (or Magic, for that matter), but the first trainer challenge was easy enough to pick up a few basics. Unfortunately, after constantly downloading new assets, I ran out of space on my device. Also, it reloaded the app and had me log in again each time I switched apps. If it loaded faster, and if it saved your password, I wouldn't mind so much.

    I think a lot of my grief so far is my own fault (old and busted iPad 3, no free space), so I might give it another try in the future.

    Did this get pulled already?
    Cannot find it on the german app-store and most of the links seem to be directing me to their pokemon tv app.

    Am i the only one?
