  1. Pokémon TCG Pocket is a truly fantastic mobile game that will keep you opening the app daily — and as long as it stops at once a day, you’ll probably love the experience. If you’re going back for more and more, like me, you’re inevitably going to run out of things to do. Pace yourself, enjoy the experience, and I promise you that Pokémon TCG Pocket is one of the best card games a casual TCG fan can play. At the very least, it’s better than Twitter.

    While the invisible hand of compulsion and in-game spending lingers, Pokémon TCG Pocket benefits from smartly interwoven systems and, crucially, just a darn good underlying card game.

    Pokémon TCG Pocket is a fresh and fast way to dive into the world of Pokémon collectible cards. On one hand, it simplifies and speeds up battles, sacrificing some strategy; on the other, it highlights the collectible aspect and the beauty of the illustrations, which have recently enhanced the latest paper expansions. The result is a game best enjoyed in small doses, to avoid getting too caught up in the numerous, albeit not overwhelming, microtransactions. It will be interesting to see how Pocket and Live evolve in the coming months, but for now, it’s an enjoyable digression from the original experience.

    As it stands, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is extremely simple, and therefore quite enjoyable to engage with, and besides, after the first hour or so, you can easily just check in every day or two and open some packs.
