Our Take: More Events For Pokémon TCG Pocket Keeps Engagement High
So Much To Do And So Many Cards To Collect!
In just one week since the game’s launch,Pokémon TCG Pockethas launched three separate eventsto help keep players logging into the game.None of these events are particularly exciting, but they give players something to do besides just logging inand opening a couple of packs per day.
New cards are still the biggest draw forPokémon TCG Pocket, but events like the Genetic Apex Emblem Event help to build up the competitive angle of the game. One key to future Emblem Events is whether the game encourages players to use something besides their standard decks to play.
