How Pokemon Trading Card Pocket is placing profit over players

I remember first getting a Game Boy and a copy of Pokemon Red, choosing Charmander, and struggling through the first two gyms with a pig-headed stubbornness to never switch him out. I played the main series, and all the side games like Snap, Puzzle League, and Rescue Squad.
Even with the Switch generation missing the mark for me, I still love the series. So seeing the direction Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket is going is infuriating. I complain about it a lot, but not because it’s bad, or because it's the “cool” thing to write about, or because I hate it. I do it because the developers are taking a huge part of my childhood and letting greed corrupt it.
