More Information

Pokémon TCG Pocket has brought the world-famous trading card game onto smartphones – and with over 100 million downloads, it’s already captured the attention of countless fans. The app combines quick-fire card battles, collectible decks, and the thrill of opening booster packs. For many children, it’s a blend of strategy, fun, and Pokémon nostalgia that’s hard to resist.

Beneath the colourful exterior, there are risks that parents and educators should know about. In-game purchases, monthly passes, and limited-time expansions encourage ongoing spending, while the competitive online play may lead to frustration, over-investment, and extended screen time. This guide helps adults understand these hidden challenges.
