Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket captures all the simple pleasures of card collecting, but just be wary of its microtransactions.
What’s sure to be mobile gaming ’s next big thing is here. Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is out now and it brings the classic tabletop deckbuilding game to your phone. It’s a free app that lets players open booster packs, collect cards, and play a streamlined version of the card game. On top of that, it’s full of social hooks and ways for players to show off their favorite cards.
Related That’s the simple thrill of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. It captures what now feels like the fading joys of baseball card collecting, giving players a bounty of toys they can show off to their friends. It’s a very social-focused game in that sense, as I can fill up my friend list, create display boards for others to see, and battle online. More features like trading are in the works too.
At the end of the day, the real function of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is to provide a gateway into the real card game. It’s a great, and long overdue, follow up to the Game Boy’s Pokémon Trading Card Game in that sense. If you used to be a collector back in your youth, it’ll put the bug back in you. If you’ve never been a fan, it should help you at least understand the simple appeal. I imagine it’ll rake in a lot of players as a result — and a lot of their cash.
Every time I open a booster pack, I’m placed on a 12-hour cooldown. I can’t open a new one until that timer ticks down, meaning I can get two packs a day. There’s a way around that, though. An Hourglass takes the count down by one hour, so I can spend 12 to instantly open a new one. Similarly, Wonder Picks require their own currency that runs on a cooldown and can be refreshed with items. Like Candy Crush Saga, all of this is built to toy with your impatience.
