The Pokemon TCG has been around since 1996, and it's always had that exclusivity factor behind it. Whether it's your shiny Charizard or a simple stack of good stat cards, it's more than just a game. During the pandemic, Pokemon had to produce nearly 9 million cards as demand increased. So when the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket (aka a mobile version) was announced at the Pokemon Presents event on February 27th, I wasn't shocked at all.
Pokemon TCG Pocket will be a GAME CHANGER – here's why
Pokémon TCG Pocket is made by Creatures Inc., the original developers of Pokémon TCG, and DeNA Co., Ltd. According to the creators, they want to bring the flavors of TCG to Android and iOS through this game. The game will be released in 2024, and we get to see the features of the game in a hands-on presentation at the event.
During the showcase, we got to see more of the features in the game. Since the game will be completely digital, the challenges were always about how to make the card game in digital format. According to the makers, the cards will be immersive. This immersive style focused on the card's illustration will make a player feel as if they are inside the world of Pokémon.
Along with an unboxing feature, trading is another key feature of the game. As we've seen from time to time, YouTubers and Twitch streamers package up Pokémon cards with their chat and sell them for a huge value. Likewise, the built-in trading features will make it easier for the players to do the same.
