Pokémon is a prolific franchise that frequently makes headlines with its annual releases. However, 2024 has been an exception, with no mainline games released. In place of this, Pokémon TCG Pocket has seen tremendous success, though it has also disappointed some fans who criticize its lack of content.
The Pokémon Company announced earlier this year that it would bring the Pokémon card-collecting experience to mobile devices with a new app: Pokémon TCG Pocket. Although this digital approach may lose the charm of physical card collecting for some, the app has proven to be a hit.

Despite huge success, fans are not happy with what Pokémon TCG Pocket offers
Worldwide, Pokémon TCG Pocket has been available for only three days, but it has already achieved 10 million downloads, an impressive milestone.
“Thank you to everyone who helped Pokémon TCG Pocket reach over 10 million downloads! We’re incredibly grateful and hope everyone continues to enjoy the game. Wonderful things are on the way,” said the game’s official social media account.
While developer DeNA didn’t launch a special event for the game’s release, it has just introduced its first event, officially named the Wonder Pick Event. It will be available until November 14 and will have two parts.
However, amid the celebrations, several fans have voiced their dissatisfaction, finding the event lackluster. It only offers two promotional cards that many players already have, along with three promotional items available in the shop for event currency.
Additionally, many players believe the game offers too little content, with calls for more solo (offline) battles. Some fans on platforms like Reddit report running out of things to do within just two days, with some even considering uninstalling the game soon.
In response, some users have pointed out that the app focuses on card collecting, with the battle mode being secondary. This stance, though accurate, has sparked further division among players.
