It has been a long time coming but finally, the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket application has released. This free-to-start application for iOS/Android devices brings a whole new spin on collecting Pokemon cards in a digital format.
Now available around the world, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket offers a fresh take on card collection, inviting fans to experience the thrill of opening booster packs, discovering cards with unique visual effects and engaging in quick battles — all easily accessible from their mobile devices.With the launch of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, fans can begin building their card collections with the first expansion, titled Genetic Apex, which features many fan-favorite Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region.
In addition, players will be able to enjoy a new Pokémon TCG experience with the following key features:
* Open booster packs: Players will be able to open two booster packs per day at no cost. In addition, the wonder pick feature allows players to randomly select one card from packs opened by other players around the world, providing an opportunity to collect cards in other supported languages.
* Collect cards: Players can collect cards with nostalgic illustrations and new artwork found only in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. In addition, some cards feature special visual effects that can only be achieved digitally, such as parallax effects that add stunning depth and dimension to cards and “immersive cards” that allow players to leap into the world of the card’s illustration.
* Customize card collections: Players can decorate and personalize their digital card collections with various features, including display boards, binders and flair — special effects that can be applied to a card. In addition, players can customize their decks with various accessories, including playmats, card sleeves and coins.
* Engage in quick battles: With streamlined rules that have been optimized for mobile devices, players will be able to enjoy quick single-player and multiplayer battles during their spare time. The app also introduces various features that make battling approachable for beginners and casual players, including automatic battles, rental decks and auto-build.
I think this is going to be a huge success. There are a ton of people who only collect Pokemon cards and don’t really play the game. This application makes the collecting process even more enjoyable as well as brings new features to the TCG. The quick battle feature sounds really fun. I used to play the Pokemon Trading Card Game when I was younger so new modes to see certain cards and get to pick up the rules little by little is cool. Being able to play mini battles in a few minutes is always a cool idea too.
