Pokémon TCG Pocket launches Mythical Island booster set and first major update Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has launched a new booster set, Mythical Island, alongside its first major update. Mythical Island adds more than 80 cards that players could grab. More Step-Up Battles are also included as part of the update, along with some all-new missions and rewards. The new update is available immediately, and it is a permanent one, unlike the Genetic Apex Wonder Pick Event, which will only continue running for the next couple of days. Although fans are happy to see new cards added to the game, as that is ultimately what any trading card game is all about, it is a little disappointing compared to the massive 286 cards introduced as part of Genetic Apex. Pokémon TCG Pocket launched at the end of October. Within a month of launch, it had racked up more than $200 million in revenue and already become the third most profitable Pokémon mobile title behind Pokémon Masters EX and, of course, Pokémon Go . The main aim of the trading card game is to open packs and build a card collection. Battling and playing the card game is almost meant as a secondary aim for players. That said, TCG Pocket does give players the ability to battle locally and online using the decks they have built. https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGP/status/1868901441881944546 What’s part of the update? 86 total cards – 68 new cards and 18 rare versions that include one immersive card and one crown card. New Dex missions have been added as part of the update, with tickets available for completing multiples of five unique Mythical Island cards. Rental Decks can be used to collect some of the new cards, including Celebi ex, Mew ex, and Pidgeot ex. Mission rewards are granted for completing themed collections of cards, such as the Florges flower Pokémon. Eight Step-Up Battles enable players to battle against some of the most powerful new decks. And, as well as 12 Pack Hourglasses included as standard for all players, a further seven are rewarded for each Expert Battle tier. Unfortunately, immediately following the release of the new update, many players reported game crashes due to the download. Users reported seeing messages stating “server authentication process failed,” although the problem did not affect all users. Pokémon TCG Pocket is a free-to-play game. However, one expert has calculated it would take almost two years of continuous playing to complete the game without making any purchases. Alternatively, those with bottomless pockets would need to spend approximately $1,500. Most players would likely fall somewhere between these two figures. TCG Pocket in 2025 According to an official letter from The Pokémon Company , many developments are planned for the game in 2025 and beyond. In January, players can expect some form of card trading to be enabled come January, and the Pokémon team has said that the range of cards that can be traded will expand throughout the year. Away from TCG Pocket , Pokémon is set to launch Pokémon Legends: Z-A in 2025, taking players to Lumiose City. The game will launch around the world on Nintendo Switch. Meanwhile, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are still embroiled in a patent battle with Palworld mak er Pocketpair.

Palworld has ditched creature summoning from spheres to avoid the wrath of Pokemon Pocket Pair has released an update for the popular creature-catching game Palworld that removes the ability to summon pals by throwing Pal Spheres on the ground. Creatures will now summon automatically next to the player when a summoning ball is activated. Although the game maker has not issued a statement regarding the changes, it seems highly likely that the move was taken as a result of the ongoing patent legal battle with Nintendo and The Pokemon Company. Palworld's popularity Palworld launched on Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview in January 2024 and proved to be one of the year’s surprise hits. It proved so popular that it later enjoyed a PS5 launch and it has been announced that Krafton, the team behind PUBG Mobile , will be converting it to mobile, too. No release date has been given for the mobile version, but it is expected to arrive sometime in 2025. Although the game was a big hit from the start, a lot of attention was given to the game’s similarity to Pokemon. Many of the pals bear strong resemblances to well-known Pokemon characters, while gameplay features like Pal Sphere summoning are very similar to those of Pokeball summoning. The game is still described in the media as being Pokemon with guns. There was a lot of talk of when, rather than if, Pokemon would take legal action against the independent game. Earlier this year, that action came . According to details released by Pocket Pair, Nintendo sought damages equivalent to around $70,000 and wanted an injunction against Palworld for infringement of three patents. Interestingly, those patents weren’t filed until after Palworld’s release, suggesting Nintendo may have only filed because of the game's success. In any case, Nintendo is believed to have been especially miffed about the game’s Pal Sphere system. Palworld updates Likely as a result of the impending legal action, Pocket Pair has released an update that changes the summoning system. Rather than aiming and throwing spheres to summon Pals to a designated spot, players will now hold out the sphere and the Pal will be summoned next to them. Honestly, it’s a fairly minor gameplay change that won’t really affect play, and that makes it all the more likely that the change comes as a result of the pending lawsuit. Fans will be hoping that the patent challenge won’t impede planned developments with the game. Palworld has a big update, Feybreak , launching on December 23, having been showcased at The Game Awards 2024. It includes a new island that Pocket Pair claims is six times bigger than Sakurajima, launched during the previous update. There are also going to be new Pals, weapons, and buildings, as well as some new mechanics and a brand-new faction leader. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI_0U7-7hRA It was also announced in November that 2025 would see a crossover between Palworld and fellow indie-title Terraria . There are few details about the crossover yet, but artwork has been released showing characters from the games clasping hands. The patent case, filed by Pokemon in Japan, started in September 2024, and experts expect this kind of case to take around 18 months to complete. Assuming the two parties don’t come to an out-of-court agreement, that means, Pocket Pair and their fans may have to wait until 2026 before there is any resolution to the dispute.
