<< review queue entry 83826 - submitted by 'becky82' >> I asked about this word here: https://chinese.stackexchange.com/q/61502/8099 ---------- Editor: I'm not familiar with these video games, but I suppose I know a bit about Japanese culture and will offer my opinion: - "ガチャ" - in my mind, these are those vending machines that dispense toys, or they are the toys themselves. Though perhaps it's more common nowadays to refer to "gacha video games", which involve a lottery mechanic and element of randomness when getting in-game items. I know they are quite popular in China. - "卡池" - 卡 is card, 池 is pool, 卡池 is like a deck of cards. It is not necessarily related to ガチャ (as someone pointed out on stackexchange), for example, people use it to talk about Pokemon cards https://pokemonhubs.com/ptcg-pocket/mythical-island-best-deck/ > Pokémon TCG Pocket 新卡池帶來了更多戰術變化，尤其是夢幻 EX與時拉比 EX的加入 Anyways I think there's no overlap between the meaning of ガチャ and 卡池. 卡池 may be found in a gacha game but it's not correct to define it as ガチャ |
