Pokemon's New Mobile Release Turns Collecting Cards Into a Game of Its Own
Briefly

At the end of October, The Pokémon Company launched Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, a mobile version of the Pokémon TCG that's been around since the '90s. It's been an enormous success, immediately raking in millions of dollars and launching multiple limited-time events based around battling.
Pokémon TCG Pocket uses the physical card game as its basis, but introduces a host of rule changes to make sure matches flow more quickly and easily. Best of all, this variant of the card game whittles its battles down to just a few minutes each.
The Pokémon Company has made battling the cornerstone of two in-game events already. One pits players against each other, while another has them battling computer-controlled opponents, offering exclusive cards as rewards.
Unless you're going for those rare reward cards, it's totally possible to enjoy the game without battling at all. Poké́mon TCG Pocket feels like a satisfying blend of a card collector's dream and a fast-paced combat game.
