Pokemon TCG Pocket has really taken the gaming world by storm, surpassing everyone’s expectations in just the first week of its release. So far, about 30 million downloads have been gathered; it truly is a feat to capture the interest of players and industry experts alike.
This success was brought about by the rare and promo cards that were found, powerful meta decks were available, and several events were going on within the game. Such an effect maximizes the attraction of players to this game and leads them to spend hours and money playing.
Pokémon TCG Pocket raked in $12 million in its first four days, thus translating to making $3 million a day. That is impressive – more than the daily average that the iconic Pokémon Go itself generates at $1 million. It is unlikely that Pokemon TCG Pocket will come anywhere close to the 232 million active players mark that Pokémon Go hit in 2016. Its growth trajectory, however, is undeniably impressive.
What is remarkable, too, is that it took Pokemon Go three months to reach 500 million downloads while Pokemon TCG Pocket has already reached 6% of that milestone in just a week. That only shows that the game has the potential to become one of the major players in the game market for mobile devices.
Thus, the game has become popular, and people are really in the mood for celebration. Most social media posts depict joy and hopes for bigger updates and rewards. Some even suggested that the developers should relate this achievement with some form of reward within the game, such as getting free card packs or any other unique items.
