It was a big week for Pokemon and that includes the group’s digital card trader and battler, Pokemon TCG Pocket. The Pokemon Company has announced that TCG Pocket has amassed over 100 million downloads since its launch. This comes ahead of its latest expansion, Triumphant Light, which came to the game today.

Pokemon TCG Pocket’s 100 million download milestone was shared via the game’s social media as part of Pokemon Day:

What a fantastic way to celebrate #PokemonDay today! Thank you to everyone for your continued support; it's genuinely appreciated. 🙏

We look forward to celebrating this community and any future milestones in this new year. We hope you continue to enjoy our game! pic.twitter.com/kzewn7gXI5

Having launched just a handful of months ago in October 2024, Pokemon TCG Pocket has enjoyed massive popularity worldwide in a short time. Only three months ago, the game had crossed 10 million downloads. To pick up 90 million more in such a short time speaks highly of the viral and community nature of the game, which we noted in our Shacknews review, for better and for worse.

With no sign of stopping and a new expansion out as of the Pokemon Presents February 2025 presentation, stay tuned for more updates on Pokemon TCG Pocket as they drop, right here at Shacknews.
