Pokemonhas always diversified the ways you’re able to explore its world, withPokemon TCGbeing one of them. During today’s Pokemon Presents, the company revealedPokemon Pocket, an upcoming new way to enjoy the trading card game.
AlthoughPokemon TCG Onlinealready exists,Pokemon TCG Pocketwill introduce new elements that’ll appeal to players who aren’t particularly invested in the competitive side of things and take more delight in the artwork of the cards.
The game will allow you to open digital packs and feel the excitement of discovering what new cards you’re able to add to your collection on your mobile device. On your hunt for your favorite cards, you’ll also be able to trade with other players also hoping to perfect their collection.
Experience Pokemon TCG like never before
The upcoming game is being developed via a three-way collaboration with Creatures Inc., the Pokemon Company, and DeNA which a company also involved with Pokemon Masters EX.
According to the CEO of Creatures Inc., Yuji Kitano, care is being taken to show off the cards with effects only available digitally. One of the ways this is being done is through an immersive experience that lets you leap into the illustrations, which should be a blast when applied to full art and rare cards.
The competitive element ofPokemon TCGhasn’t been eliminated, and you’ll still be able to battle with friends. However, Kitano explains that the rules have been streamlined to allow for quick battles.
We don’t have details regarding any monetization strategies, though it is revealed that you’ll be able to open two packs a day for free. It launches in 2024, soTCGfans should prepare for the all-new experience coming soon.
