Not sure if this was mentioned anywhere yet, or how reliable the information is, but someone working the TCG pocket booth told me today that the app is releasing next month and a battle feature is in beta testing.

Looks decent, kinda a shame its focused so much on collecting (as something nontangible), hope they keep it up with new arts released here first then moving to a physical set.
Pokemon is going to make so much money on this.

I can see this developing an anniversary type of set a couple years after the app has launched like Pokémon GO, it’s a question of when and whether they will develop entirely new cards to port them over since they’re not play-compatible with the physical tcg. Excited to see new artworks nonetheless

Little easter eggs alone will keep me coming back to see new sets.
