On August 19, new information about the popular Pokémon series was revealed. A new smartphone game titled Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, based on the Pokémon Trading Card Game, will be released on October 30. Pre-registration for the game has started today.

In the past, there have been Pokémon TCG-based games such as Pokémon Card GB (1998, Game Boy) and Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR! (2001, Game Boy Color), but this new title is a smartphone app that allows players to easily collect cards, open packs, battle, and trade.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game, first released in Japan in 1996, is the country’s first major homegrown TCG. Players build decks with 60 cards of their choosing, combining Pokémon and support cards, making it a game that children and adults alike enjoy in events and tournaments nationwide. Around the summer of 2018, it became a massive sensation, leading to widespread sellouts of products.
