The development team behind Pokemon’s Digital version has released a substantial update concerning the game since their last message. It has been confirmed that the digital version of Pokemon will be due for release in June.
Pokemon TCG is a new and expanded digital version of the tenured tabletop game, as it allows players to build decks with cards obtained through the in-game store. These decks are also received through battle passes and QR codes in real-world packs.
Pokemon Trading Card Game Live has been in Beta since November. Therefore, players using the app will find fewer changes when the game finally launches.
However, those holding off on making the switch will be hard if they fail to switch. This is because Pokemon Trading Card Game Online will be removed from the App Store, Google Play, and even Pokemon.com. All these changes will be effective from June 5, 2023, at 9 a.m. PDT.
Players won’t blame anyone as they have had time to prepare for the transition. This was made possible by the Pokemon Company when they stopped adding new cards and packs online back in March.
Players can visit their sites for more information on migrating accounts from the Pokemon TCG Online to the new game version. Players who log into the Beta Version of Pokemon TCG Live before June will receive unique customization of accessories.
