Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket adds a little extra to the American McDonalds Happy Meal
I have been dragging on Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket enough lately that we could probably rename the site 148Pokemon, but shockingly we have some news I won’t be whining about. The Pokemon Company has partnered up with fast food giants McDonalds to offer some pretty decent rewards.
The goodies on offer here are 24 Pack Hourglasses and 12 Wonder Hourglasses. Or in simpler terms; two packs of cards and one Wonder Pick. To be fair, it's not a bad haul if you are feeling peckish anyway, especially with the new boosters packs coming this month. Hopefully, Lucario makes its debut, but I digress.
Unfortunately, this comes with two restrictions, and one is pretty big. First, this is only available in America, which could be quite far to travel for 11 cards. Second, you will only get these goodies if you order a Happy Meal. Which feels pretty strange? All the Pocket players I know are adults who want something more substantial. But there we go.
There is a bit of a chore to get this it must be said. You need to download the McDonald’s app for starters and then opt-in to emails, so don’t forget to turn that off after. Then, order your Happy Meal in the app and you are good to go. The code will be delivered to your email address and then you simply follow the instructions to claim.
It would have been nice if we got the code on some physical Pokemon card, but, to be fair, digital is definitely the easier way to go for these giveaways. I recall a Final Fantasy XIV giveaway recently that used printed codes, and shops just gave away dozens per transaction and ran out almost immediately. Anyway anecdote aside, the promotion runs until March 31st, so if you are in America don’t miss out.
Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket is available to download from the App Store and Google Play.
