Pocket-sized Pokémon trading card game

Why collect cards that take up space and are precariously sensitive to the elements when you can digitize everything and be done with it? Pokemon TCG Pocket lets you experience the thrill of collecting Pokemon cards right from your phone, so you can complete your album, show it off to your friends, or simply admire the artwork with each new card the RNG gods add to your list .

Featuring both old-school illustrations and game-exclusive designs, the cards you collect can also be used to dive into random battles against the AI ​​or other players. The packages also have that delightful film-tearing animation that simulates the exhilaration of opening a physical package: now, if only it could replicate the smell of new paper too…
