Pokemon TCG Pocket Developer Won’t Reveal if Choice of Pack Impacts Cards Received

by

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of gaming mysteries and hidden mechanics. The latest enigma that has caught my attention is the pack-opening process in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

In the game of Pokemon TCG Pocket, it remains unclear if your selection of booster packs affects the cards you get. Since the launch of PTCGP, players have grown accustomed to the process of picking between Mewtwo, Charizard, and Pikachu packs and then choosing a pack from a carousel. Each pack appears to contain distinct cards. However, based on a recent statement by The Pokemon Company, it seems possible that the selection of which pack to open might not impact the cards you receive.

In an interview with Polygon, The Pokémon Company was questioned about the process behind opening packs in Pokémon TCG Pocket and any potential impact on the cards received. More specifically, they were asked to clarify whether the pack selected from the rotating carousel affects the cards received. Unfortunately, The Pokémon Company declined to provide any information on this matter, stating that they would keep the specifics of their system confidential for now.

The Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket is designed with the feel of unpacking real Pokemon TCG booster packs in mind, but unfortunately, we can’t provide details about it just yet,” according to The Pokemon Company.

The pack-selecting system in Pokemon TCG Pocket has sparked debate among its fanbase since its launch, with some claiming that the chosen packs hold significance due to possible differences or irregularities in their appearance hinting at specific card contents. Conversely, others argue against this theory and refer to the game’s metadata as evidence, suggesting that the cards players receive are predetermined when “Open Pack” is selected. The subsequent visual effects and interactions are likely designed to enhance player enjoyment rather than influence the outcome.

It’s highly probable that The Pokemon Company will never completely disclose the truth about their booster packs, as maintaining player engagement with the Pokemon TCG Pocket is a priority for them. To achieve this, making millions of players think they have some control over which cards they uncover adds to the game’s charm and appeal.
