The Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket app has only been out for two days, and it's already surpassed 10 million downloads. The app brings the popular card game to mobile devices, and its launch was met with huge success.
The official Japanese Pokémon TCG Pocket X (formerly Twitter) account thanked players for reaching 10 million downloads worldwide, just two days after the app's official launch. Although it does feature microtransactions and an optional subscription, the app is completely free-to-play, making it easy to get into.
Initial reviews for the virtual TCG are generally positive, praising the game for its intuitive design and beautiful artwork. It's already won many players over, both existing fans and newcomers to the fanbase.
Pokémon is a massive franchise spanning across many different shows, movies, video games, and other types of merchandise. The card game arm of the IP has been around almost as long as the video games have, and the very first cards were originally released in October 1996. The new TCG app comes almost exactly 28 years after its initial release, bringing the game to a wider mainstream audience thanks to its ease of access.
