Exciting Updates for Pokémon TCG Pocket Players
The Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket team has exciting news: Genetic Apex booster packs will remain available even after the release of the next expansion. This announcement has provided relief to players who have been eager to complete their collections from the game’s initial set.
Soaring Popularity
Since its launch on mobile devices on October 30, Pokémon TCG Pocket has gained immense popularity, achieving over 30 million downloads and generating more than $120 million globally. While the physical card game boasts thousands of unique cards, the mobile version is just starting out with 250 cards currently available for players to collect.
No Rush to Collect
Many fans were concerned that the cards from the Genetic Apex set might be phased out as new packs are introduced. However, players can now breathe easy knowing they can take their time without missing out on any current cards.
Balancing Issues and Future Updates
Some balancing issues have been observed since launch, particularly affecting one Pokémon type. Additionally, a recent update from the official Pokémon TCG Pocket Twitter account confirmed that the original Apex trilogy of booster packs will remain accessible with the next expansion.
The future of Pokémon TCG Pocket looks bright, as the game aims to avoid the common live service model that pressures players into spending. Instead, it is focusing on providing players with a steady stream of content.
Upcoming Features and Events
In early November, news broke that limited trading will be introduced in January 2025, allowing players to exchange selected cards. More features are under development, but details on additional game modes remain limited.
Datamined information has revealed some intriguing events planned for December 2024. Highlights include a Wonder Pick event featuring Magnemite and Bulbasaur, and a Venusaur EX battle event that mirrors the previous Lapras EX offering.
Looking Ahead: Pokémon Legends: Z-A
As Pokémon TCG Pocket continues to evolve, the franchise is also preparing for its next major release. Pokémon Legends: Z-A is expected to launch in 2025, taking players back to the Kalos region, first introduced in Pokémon X and Y back in 2013. This second entry in the Pokémon Legends series will also reintroduce the beloved Mega Evolution mechanic.
