Pokémon TCG Online is a card game developed by THE POKEMON COMPANY INTERNATIONAL, INC. In the game, you can not only collect Pokémon cards, but also battle with other players all around the world. The game is available on tablet devices, and phones are not supported. This game combines the Pocket Monster, Pocket Trainer, and other Pokémon-related elements into one game, and its core gameplay is collecting cards. Players could use the basic “computer versus players” mode to gather different cards and then develop their skills. When the decks become powerful enough, the players can choose to trade or fight with friends and other players to expand their existing decks. Through continuous exchange, players can improve their deck to challenge the World Championship to show their excellent decks to other players around the world.
Unfortunately, Pokémon TCG Online ceased to be available on the mainstream app market a few years ago and has been replaced by the alternative card game Pokémon TCG Live. While there's no need to regret not being able to own the game, as players with the original Pokémon TCG Online account information can log in to Pokémon TCG Live to transfer and inherit most of their favorites.
This game integrated the pocket monsters that the majority of people enjoyed in their childhood into the game, enabling players to collect cards, train monsters, and get along with the monsters as a trainer. At the same time, the “Player VS Player” mode and the “World Championships” also enable players to enjoy the scenes that only appear on Pokémon Red and Blue.
A highlight of this game is that it’s different from other pay-to-play TCG game. It is a free TCG game and players could only collect cards through their own efforts, which is fair for all players. A disadvantage is that for players who have insufficient time to play this game, they would feel hard to collect rare cards.
