Little trainers can look forward to a new video game and app!
Pokémon is readying for the next two years of reveals and releases, sure to have any young fan ready to catch their favorites. On Pokémon Day yesterday, a Pokémon Presents event highlighted all that’s on the way, from a series premiere to content for existing apps. Maybe the most exciting of the new sneak previews include the upcoming entry into the game series, Pokémon: Legends Z-A, and an app for fans of the Pokémon trading card game (TCG).
In Pokémon: Legends Z-A, players will return to the Kalso Region, last visited in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. The game takes place in the vibrant Lumiose City, where a new urban redevelopment plan is underway to make a space designed for both people and Pokémon. The game will be released next year.
Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket will be available this year on iOS and Android. This new app will invite players to open booster packs, collect cards, and engage in quick battles with streamlined rules inspired by the classic Pokémon TCG battle system. The free-to-start app is being developed in collaboration with Creatures, the makers of the Pokémon TCG, and DeNA.
Pokémon remains ever-popular with fans across age groups. Since its introduction in 1996, nostalgic adults and young fans have enjoyed everything the franchise has to offer. A new video game as well as a new way to engage with the popular TCG aims to continue that trend.
