Pokémon’s New Digital Trading Card Game Is Getting Its Full Release Next Month

Nice!

The Pokémon Company has announced that Pokémon TCG Live, the digital adaptation of its fiendishly-popular physical trading card game, is finally launching as a finished product next month on June 8th.

Pokémon TCG Live has been in beta for a little while now, with Aussies on most devices having access to it since the middle of last year, but this new date marks a final, global release.

For anyone who’s been playing Pokémon TCG Online, the older digital Pokémon TCG app that’s been around over a decade now but is being shut down the same week as TCG Live has its official launch, The Pokémon Company has created a comprehensive FAQ on migrating player card and accessories. The vast majority of cards are safe, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag as far as which other features can be carried across so it’s worth having a read through if you plan to make the jump.

Pokémon TCG Live:

NEW WAYS TO PLAY: Each new expansion to the Pokémon Trading Card Game comes with a new Battle Pass in Pokémon Trading Card Game Live. Complete quests to level up and unlock rewards!

Participate in the Ranked Ladder to climb through the leagues and unlock even more exclusive rewards! Only the best players will make it to Arceus League; do you have what it takes?

If Ranked mode feels too intense, then dive into Casual mode, where you can relax and have fun playing matches at your own pace.

THE FUN WAY TO LEARN: If you are new to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, there’s no better place to learn! Pokémon Trading Card Game Live includes an extensive series of practice matches that will help you become a first-rate Trainer!

CUSTOMIZE YOUR LOOK: Choose from hundreds of accessories to style your avatar. From hats and sandals to catchphrases and victory poses, you’ll find many ways to express yourself. And of course, don’t forget to pick a custom coin, deck box, and card sleeves.

MIGRATE YOUR COLLECTION: When you start your Pokémon Trading Card Game Live adventure, your collection will migrate from the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, ready to use!
