Pokémon TCG coming to the iPad

It’s happening, it’s really happening! Pokémon TCG has been playable online for some time now via downloadable software (at least in English), but news is that it’s also coming to the iPad! This is great news for fans who are more reliant on their tablets than their desktops. It’s also a great time to capitalize on the digital TCG craze with Hearthstone consistently ranking high on Apple’s App Store. The image above comes from Josh Wittenkeller’s Twitter account. Bloomberg has also carried the story and confirmed the game’s existence.

Do you play the PC version? Would an iPad version tempt you over?

Personally, I think this would be a great step forward for the series and potentially expand the audience. I’d also be much more likely to play on my iPad versus my PC.

  1. If any game is shown August 26th, it can possibly be Pokken fighters because at Pokemon Game show was held on August 17th-18th when Pokken fighter teaser shown off it was August 17th, 2013 and know the August 26th announcement event was on August 17th or 18th this exactly year since Pokken Fighter it could be a big coincidence or something more?

  2. I don’t know about anyone else, but I used to love playing the TCG on the GBC, and I’m still a bit disappointed that they never released the sequel outside of Japan. Still, this looks like something I’ll consider getting into.

  3. Pokemon the Movie No. 17 almost made Pokemon franchise history with one of the best multiplier in the franchises history.

    • The movie did make a lot of Yen. I think it’s mostly because of the popularity of X/Y. Also, because Diancie is a new Pokemon. Do you know how well the movie was received?

      • It has thus far received negative to mixed reviews. A consensus out of all the Japanese/American (Americans living in Japan) viewers was that although the animation was almost impeccable and the film was EXTREMELY better than the fifth gen generated ones, it still lacked depth.

          • True. The plot structure does indeed seems to be generic. However, many reviews have specifically noted how the plot structure was quite the deviation from Pokemon’ norm and I hope this is a stepping stone towards more in-depth plot structures in the future. However, even acclaimed anime such as Fairy Tail and Naruto recycle already grown plot structure so this is not a surprise.

  4. Websites dealing with anime have been average or positive, with a harmonic aggregation of 7.5/10 which represents “average to positive.”

  5. Did you know
    Tyrantrum is the only 6th generation Pokemon that knows a One Hit KO Move (And that move is Horn Drill)

  6. If you guys don’t play the TCG, I strongly suggest you check out the TCGO.

    It’s a great way to test decks, feel the same surprise of opening a new card pack, and learn the basics of the TCG!

    You get a couple of free card packs when you join!

    It’s a lot more fun then you think. It’s all about strategy.

  7. Yes! This shiny Yanma has the right ability (Speed Boost) and doesn’t lack Special Attack IV (lack Defense IV instead)!

  8. I finally finished all the Pokemon anime series, having sat through grueling minutes watching the terrible writing of Black and White unfold before my poor eyes.

    I have to say, Pokemon Diamond Pearl series is still one of the best in the series, followed by the Original and Advanced Generation series. I’m sure Pokemon X and Y will be my No. 1 Pokemon Anime Series soon. 😀
