Okay, so, you know how sometimes it feels like companies are just throwing stuff out there? Well, The Pokémon Company International is at it again, with this… thing. They’re calling it the “Wisdom of Sea and Sky” expansion, which sounds all mystical, but really, it’s just more cards for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. The launch is, like, next week or something. I’m guessing it’s a big deal for fans. I suppose. Anyway, get ready to explore Pokémon from Johto. Yep, we’re talking Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile. Oh, and those big-shot legendary ones too, Lugia and Ho-Oh.
What’s quirky about this new set? Apparently, they’ve got Pokémon who can attack without needing any Energy. Sounds like a game-changer—or maybe chaos, I can’t decide. Oh, and a bunch of updates to the trading feature are coming along. That means you get to wishlist cards you’re eyeing. Just a quick note: you can add some cards to your list from the My Cards screen. Highlight three, shout it from the rooftops or just keep it on your profile.
So, there’s this whole drama with trade tokens too. They’re getting the axe. But good news, I think? You can still use something called shinedust. How do you get shinedust? Lucky you asked—by finishing missions, or if you already have extras of certain cards. But you won’t be able to trade cards for tokens, so heads up there.
Now, if you’re looking to dive into this chaos, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is sitting pretty on both the App Store and Google Play. Dive in or don’t, up to you.
Oh, and there’s a trailer out there somewhere. Maybe it’s on YouTube? Might want to check it out if trailers are your thing.
