Summary
- Players can collect Pokemon cards in different languages in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
- Cards obtained through booster packs and Wonder Picks stay in the language they were collected.
- The game's success is evident with 10 million downloads.
A Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket player has highlighted that it is possible to collect cards in different languages. Trading cards are one of the most beloved aspects of the Pokemon franchise. Now, they are available for Android and iOS devices with the release of Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, which is already a big hit.
The main way the player collects cards is by opening the booster packs given out by Pokemon TCG Pocket twice a day. Each of these packs comes with five cards inside, and if the player is lucky, they might even pull one of the coveted EX cards. Another way to expand the collection is by performing Wonder Picks, in which the player gets a random card through the selection of other players. Collecting Pokemon cards is a highly engaging activity for fans, who now know about something neat related to the new game.
Redditor GuildMuse discovered that collecting a card in another language makes it stay in the language in which it was collected. They report that they did a Wonder Pick with a player whose client's language wasn't English, and ended up with a basic Koffing card in Spanish. Although the OP learned about this after making a Wonder Pick, it's worth noting that the language criterion also applies to cards obtained by opening booster packs.
Pokemon TCG Pocket Lets Players Collect the Same Card in Different Languages
The comments section of the post was as stunned by this revelation as GuildMuse was, and some Redditors shared their own experiments. One community member did a Wonder Pick with a Chinese player and got a Doduo card written in traditional Chinese. They also show that if the player taps on the globe icon above the card, it's possible to see in which languages it was collected. Another player changed the language of their game to get the immersive Mew card in Japanese after collecting all Kanto cards, giving their acquisition a different flair.
Pokemon TCG Pocket is a huge success less than a week after its release, reaching 10 million downloads. The game currently has 294 cards, including standard, rare, promotional, and others with more intricate aesthetics, such as holographic and immersive details. Just as in real life, where physical Pokemon cards attract players to collect copies in other languages such as Japanese, a preferred language choice among collectors, the chances are that the new game will attract players by having its version of this real-life detail.
