Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket () AKA Pokemon TCG Pocket, announced earlier this year as an evolution of Pokemon Trading Card Game, finally has a confirmed release date for mobile. Recently, DeNA and The Pokemon Company set up a new subsidiary just for Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, and it is good to see it releasing sooner than I expected given the lack of news. Alongside a new gameplay trailer, The Pokemon Company announced the Pokemon TCG Pocket release date with pre-orders and pre-registrations going live. Pokemon TCG Pocket lets you collect Pokemon cards with new visual effects only available in this game, pack opening, the ability to show off your collection, and take on casual battles. Watch the Pokemon TCG Pocket release date trailer below:
