If you’re hoping to download Pokémon TCG Pocket early, we’ve covered all of the latest information available for the mobile gacha.
As we await on an official release date for the Pokémon TCG Pocket game, we’re only really going to be able to speculate on all the important information. This includes things such as whether or not Pokémon TCG Pocket is going to be free, which we only know a little bit about right now.
When it comes to downloading Pokémon TCG Pocket across the globe, we’re still going to have to tread unchartered waters.
Can you download Pokémon TCG Pocket early?
Since there’s no news on when a specific date will allow you to download Pokémon TCG Pocket early, we’re going to say that, unfortunately, it’s not going to be available early. All we know at the moment has been shared by The Pokémon Company: “Coming in 2024 to iOS and Android devices.”
On top of that, there’s a caveat to the announcement: “The trading feature shown may not be available at launch,” suggesting that game is itself going to release in a slightly unfinished form. This only empowers the likelihood that we won’t see an early access or early download for Pokémon TCG Pocket.
Will Pokémon TCG Pocket have a large download size?
If you, like me, was a little thrown aback by the download size for Pokémon TCG Live, then you’ll be curious as to whether or not the download size for Pokémon TCG Pocket is going to eat into your smartphone’s limited storage.
When we compared Pocket with Live, we noted that there’s a significant difference in the game’s mechanics. For one, Live is a much more detailed and battle-centric game, whereas Pocket is somewhat more akin to Marvel Snap, a much more lightweight title. Expect Pokémon TCG Pocket to eat up anywhere between 200-400mb of storage.
That’s as much as we have on whether or not you can download Pokémon TCG Pocket early or not, which is going to disappoint some readers. As we approach the time when it actually will be available to download, you might instead be interested in reading about the Temporal Forces release date and card set list.
