Tag: Pokemon Trading Card Game »

Pokemon TCG Online marks the first official release of a Pokemon game on iOS, and our initial impressions have been rather positive to boot. No doubt many of you have already begun building your decks and hunting for rare cards - and if it's indeed cards you're after, then we have a treat for you.

We've gotten our mitts on a special code available only for 148Apps readers, which can be redeemed in-game (across all versions) for a free booster pack - and reading this makes you a 148Apps reader, so hurray for you! This random booster may include cards from a number of recent expansions, such as Black & White - Legendary Treasures, XY, XY - Flashfire, or XY - Furious Fists.

Just input the code 148APPS-PLAYS-POKEMON-TCGO (valid for 1 use per game account) and you're all set. But don't dawdle - the code will expire this Friday, October 10.

If you haven't downloaded Pokemon TCG Online yet, you can grab it off the App Store now for free. Oh, and let us know if you get anything good!

So, it's finally happened. A Pokémon game is actually going to hit the App Store later this year. Who'd have thought it?

Pokémon Trading Card Game Online is that game, and thanks to the photo snapping skills of Josh Wittenkeller on Twitter there's a sneak peek at what it looks like. The photo was taken at the Pokémon World Championship, which took place last weekend in Washington D.C, with the iPad game being shown to some attendees there.

Nintendo has said for a long time now that they have no intention of releasing any games on the App Store but it looks like that's set to change soon. A spokesperson for The Pokémon Company told VentureBeat's GamesBeat that a game is set for release later this year.

We'll be sure to let you know more as and when we get it.
