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. Serena: I finally have a goal!
    Fennekin: *aww that’s nice, my girl’s finally finding herself in this world*
    Serena: Fennekin… *grabs Fennekin by the throat* EVOLVE!!! I SAW ARA’S BRAIXEN AND IT LOOKED AMAZING, EVOLVE NOW!
    Ash: Umm, Serena, that’s not how-
    Serena: Shut it! YOU NEVER EVEN NOTICED MY LOVE FOR YOU SO WHY TRYING TO GIVE ME ADVICE?!
    Ash: Umm… what?!
    Serena: THAT’S WHAT I MEAN!

  2. What I want to happen:

    ~ Team Ash:

    Ash, Manon, Bonnie, and Clemont

    ~ Team Shauna:
    Shauna, Trevor, and Tierno

    ~ Team Alan
    Alan, Serena, and Ara

    The Pokemon series will switch between the lives of each group. Serena is a trainer who is a highly exceptional trainer but when she meets Ash and battles him, she remembers what he did for her and let’s him win. Ara is a Pokemon performer who is famous around the Kalos region but is also a tough trainer. Ara is the first one to notice Serena likes Ash.

    Trainers:
    Ash, Alan, Serena, Trevor, and Manon

    Pokemon Performers:
    Shauna and Ara

    Supports:
    Bonnie, Clemont, and Tierno

  3. I think Serena will blossom when she gets over her affection for Ash. I mean let’s be honest, he’s legit holding her up. Once she gets over him, she will focus on herself and develop her true potential.

      • I truly think she will. I think her affection for Ash was just a form for her to join the group. She initially travels with Ash because she liked him, but realizes in time that she’s got a path to travel. Mark my words and screenshot it. Serena will get over Ash.

    • Look, Serena does not need to get over Ash to have character development. Other anime and shows have had characters that love other characters but it never stopped their development. Terrible writing for Serena is what messed her up. If they wanted to debut her alongside the releases of OR/AS, they could have introduced her a few episodes earlier, build hype around her, and finally debut her! Impressing Ash can also be another big character development factor, one I’m sure Tomokia will utilize. In fact, they could debut Serena alongside Team Shauna and we won’t have to wait an eternity for her character to shine.

      • No, she totally has to get over him. Do you really think this puppy dog love will carry on across the whole series? No. It’s still very early on in the series, Ash only has 2 badges. It WILL happen.

        • If she does, yay for her. However, we can’t deny how Serena has been treated by the writers for the first season of X and Y. Terrible writing, period.

          • No, she has not been treated terribly. Personally, I’d love to see her get some more screen time, but she’s still figuring herself out. I’m not sure what else you can expect from her.

          • ^^^^^^^^^
            But srsly lel why doesn’t everyone let the series play out and we’ll find out then.

          • The truth is, I just had my expectations set too high for her. The “figuring herself out” should have been made more prominent and not let Serena wander through the forest in the dark.

          • This is spot on, Chico. It took Serena until episode 7 of the season to join Ash’s team. In addition to that, I feel she’s still trying to figure herself out. A bit like May from the early Hoenn episodes. People need to just give her time for her character to develop and enjoy the anime!

          • Aside from the fact that she’s cute, I love Serena because she reminds me of myself. Just a kid, tryna figure my life out.

          • Yeah, and I don’t mind that about her one bit. Besides, isn’t she the first female protagonist that didn’t already know what she wanted to do with her life (or figure it out shortly after her introduction to the anime)? That makes her realistic to me, and I really like that about her.
