>SR energy seems to be safe, you can transfer up to 59 copies of basic energy
>cosmetics (coins, sleeves, deckboxes) will only transfer 1 of each and only cosmetics associated with an irl product
>tokens, tickets and HGSS cards won't transfer
>no expanded at launch but there may be a LOT-on format in the meantime
>ptcgo goes offline forever before the official launch, remains online during the beta
>release date unknown, beta for canadian smartphones first. ptcgl icons have been spotted on fusion strike blister images (november 12)
>if you sign into ptcgl during the beta, the transfer occurs and you will lose access to ptcgo
