The Pokémon Trading Card Game is now available for mobile phones
If you're looking for another way to play Pokémon on your phone and you're a fan of the official Pokémon trading card game, I have good news! During today's show, the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket was announced.
This game will allow you to collect virtual Pokémon cards as well as battle with your friends. The Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is a collaboration between The Pokémon Company and the creator of the Pokémon Trading Card Game Creatures Inc. And the creator of Masters Ex DeNA
The game is designed for those who are familiar with the Pokémon TCG, as well as those who love Pocket Monsters but have never played it. Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket will be released sometime this year on iOS and Android.
A new Pokémon Legends game will be released next year
The last major announcement from Pokémon Presents today was a trailer for the new Pokémon Legends game. Although gameplay hasn't been shown, we do know that Pokémon Legends: ZA will be set entirely in Luminois City. The name of that city should sound familiar to Pokemon fans as it is the main city in the Kalos region.
