The Pokémon franchise has been around for over a decade. People have followed these games for years and years, and recently, the producers came out with a digital version of their card game. Pokémon TCG, the app, was released in October of 2024. In this game, people get to pull for different cards and battle with them virtually.
My friends got me into this game, and I think it’s really fun! My favorite part are the fights you can do in the game, as you can do both pulling for cards and fighting with them. I have physical cards, but I lose them fairly easily. Using the digital version of this game taught me how the battles work too.
“Clodsire is my favorite Pokémon, and my favorite part of the game is pulling the pacts. It’s extremely addictive. The most exciting part about it is when you get to turn the deck and see if any of the cards are a shiny” Said Reese Sypowicz, a Senior at Eleanor Roosevelt High School. She states that her favorite part of this game is the pulling, which could be done anywhere; however, in the game, it’s all basically free.
Sypowicz added, “The game won’t give any full art on Solagleo or Clodsire. I don’t know how [much] longer this can go on.” This game is still considered fairly new, so there aren’t many full cards for plenty of users’ favorite Pokémon. However, despite that, they continue to add more and more Pokémon into the game, and it’s still so much fun.

Koda Carassco explains, “My favorite part is opening daily packs because they’re two free ones per day, you can get more from battling too. I really enjoy how repetitive the game mechanics are, it made it extremely easy to learn and understand how it worked. I’ve had the game for about two months, and I literally play every day to open packs.”
Carassco explained how easy and joyous it is to play this game. The mechanics are extremely simple, making it easy for new players to understand and get into this game. The game explains extremely well how the fight mechanics work, as well as different Pokémon’s weaknesses.
For Pokémon fans, this game is so fun. They get to pull for their favorite Pokémon, battle with them, and do it anywhere, anytime as this game is free and on your phone. It’s also extremely easy to understand the mechanics and learn it, new players in this franchise will understand it quickly.
