Pokémon TCG coming to the iPad

by

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.

  4. I haven’t sat down and played Pokemon for almost a goddamn year. I just got bored of X after completing the National ‘Dex for the first time in my life and…left it. I can’t wait for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (I decided to get both!) so I can revisit the simpler times. Before I was a crazed, Game-Grumps-obsessed, expensive-item-displaying, video-game-soundtrack-studying lunatic.

    • When did you quit Pokemon? Depending on that, then it couldn’t have approached almost a year. Six months perhaps? Because Bank didn’t come out until Feb, unless you traded with the lucky initial Bank users…

      You might try to get into competitive like me, or shiny hunting like them.

      I’ve got both X&Y, but this time, I’m only getting Alpha Sapphire.

      • I never stopped playing it outright, it just slowed down severely. I just didn’t have fun with X for some reason, but that was due to my own preferences. I’m planning on getting into competitive in ORAS to go along with the much expanded post-game content, so there’s no stopping this train 🙂

        • I guess it is true that X&Y was boring-er, especially in the post-game… and it’s only the Battle Maison that keeps people in who aren’t doing Battle Spot and VGC, which kind of sucks.

  5. People are actually thinking that the announcement may be a new game for a new console (wii u or a newer console). Aside from my previous thought, due to the a bunch of words like “shocking, stunning etc.” cant really be for an anime, my thoughts are maybe an anime game? you can play as ash or your own character and go on your adventure and it’s all hd or something that you can play on wii u or tv??…. or the news could have been pokemon games coming to mobile devices and ipads and other handheld devices… just ideas though?

    • But with ORAS not being released yet, I think the only option is a Wii U game. Or possibly a 3DS game, but the chances of that seem slim.
