Out of the many, many card games in the world, there are a number that have a certain impact on the world, and the multiple avenues where one can experience it, andPokemon TCG Pockethopes to bringPokemon TCGto mobile. While it’s the farthest from The Pokemon Company’s first attempt at bringing its world-famous trading card game into a more portable format,Pokemon TCG Pocketseems to be hitting the mark in many ways its processors didn’t. At least, that seems to be the verdict so far of those who have managed to try out the game during its soft launch in New Zealand.
While thePokemon Trading Card Gameis one of the easier TCGs to get into for many reasons, not everyone likes the idea of having to keep up with a regular rotation of sets in and out, and some may just be interested in collecting the cards rather than actively playing the game. After years of letting it dominate the market,Pokemon TCG Pocketseems to have taken notes fromYu-Gi-Oh! Duel Linksin many ways, especially in how both titles simplify the games for portable and faster playing, and in how they both emphasize card collecting as an important feature. When it comes to surprises,Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel LinksandPokemon TCG Pocketalso share a similar fondness for including secrets with Mew serving as one of the latter’s.
Pokemon TCG Pocket Celebrates a Classic Tradition By Giving a Mew Card for Gathering All 150 Original Creatures
Pokemon TCG Pockethas a rather cleverly hidden Easter egg early adopters of the mobile game have foundwhere they can obtain a unique Mewcard by completing the original 150 of the Kanto Pokedex. It’s a rather nostalgic secret as Mew was a completely secretive Pokemon back in the day that even Nintendo didn’t know about at first according to an Iwata Asks article. Despite how it fits Mew’s original purpose in Generation 1 quite well, many players are frustrated that getting the rare card will take considerable time and effort, but it could - and has been - worse for fans.
The Difficulty of Obtaining Mew in Other Pokemon Games
Mew is considered a Mythical Pokemon in terms of the 1,025 critters that the series gets its name from, and Mew is still the most elusive out of all the Mythicals even 28 years later. For many games, players would need to get Mew at specific distribution events which were only recently available online. While the more recent events that have handed out Mew for free have been rather nice, the most egregious goes to thePoke Ball Plus accessory fans had to pay forbeing the only way to obtain the New Species Pokemon inSwordandShield, as well asLet’s Go PikachuandEevee.
In side games likePokemon TCG Pocket, Mew isn’t as difficult to get, even in the face of players needing to get at least 150 cards before obtaining it. In fact, for the first time in several games, there is an actual chase to find and capture Mew in the new trading card mobile title, and die-hard collectors will likely enjoy getting the immersive card at the end of it all. When one looks at the Mew card, it seems like serving as the cherry on top for players' collections is the entire point as it isn’t evena competitively viablePokemon TCGcardby a large margin. Considering how expensive the Poke Ball Plus accessory was, and howPokemon TCG Pocketonly allows paying customers to open one pack per day for just under $10 dollars, even those willing to pay for Mew will still have to play regularly and have fun with the chase, which makes it fair across the board no matter how long the search takes fans.
