Summary
December arrived, and anew Mewtwo promospiced things up a little, but didn’t really move the dial as, once again, it didn’t offer much more than that.
Now, January’s Pokemon TCG Pocket Premium Pass contents have been datamined, alongside the month’s event details, and it looks like things have got even worse.
January’s Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Premium Pass Details
First up, as shared onRedditby user ComboAnalyst, is Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket’s January Premium Pass.
While both November and December’s pass included areally unique take on a Pikachuand Mewtwo card, January’s is just a slightly different version of the standardMoltres ex. Sure,the card has competitive viability, but for those who use the app to collect cards rather than battle, it’s a little boring.
The decision to include Moltres didn’t go down too well on Reddit.Tyketro said, “Feels a bit odd that the premium pass card is not an illustration full art. Bit of a downgrade from Pikachu and Mewtwo,” with SirBattleTuna adding, “I can see them trying this to test out which sells more. A promo that will never see play but looks nice or a reprint of an ex but one that sees play.”
The choice is made stranger by the fact that the two previous Premium Pass promos have been of Genetic Apex’s featured Pokemon. The expectation was that Charizard would now get the treatment that both Pikachu and Mewtwo received.
January’s Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Events Leak
Justlike last month, Pokemon TCG Pocket’s events for January haveleaked. Unfortunately, it looks like there’s going to be more disappointment.
Sure,limited trading is set to be added to the game, and the next set of booster packs will be released, too, but the main events are, once again, just rehashes of events that have already happened.
January will feature the 45-win Emblem Event and thefive-consecutive win Emblem Event, aBlastoise Solo Battle Event,two Mass Outbreaks, and oneChansey Pick Event.
It seems like the game is just going through the motions with the event variety, and there’s a feeling that the developers will need to switch things up a little to keep the game fresh.
