The revised digital Pok?mon card game sets a launch dateThe Pokemon Company has locked in a full launch date for its new digital card game platform.*Pokemon TCG Live will fully launch on June 8 for both PC and mobile, with*TCG Online*sunsetting as part of the process.
This new app is The Pokemon Company's updated way to play the Pokemon Trading Card Game online. Announced back in 2021 (https://www.destructoid.com/pokemon-tcg-live-app-news-announcement/), the app has been in open beta for a little while now and is finally setting a full launch date.
Pokemon TCG Live*can be picked up through the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/id1557962344), Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pokemon.pokemontcgl&pli=1), or the TCG website (https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/tcgl/) for their respective platforms. The company is also hosting a celebration ahead of next expansion's launch.*Paldea Evolved*will be playable starting on June 8 in*TCG Live, but players who log in between May 2 and June 6 will get some special accessories and cosmetics.

This also means the original*Pokemon Trading Card Game Online*app will be removed from mobile and PC on June 5, at 9 a.m. PT. Accounts use the same Trainer club account log-in, and you can read up on how to migrate those over here (https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406895467668).
The heart of the cardsAs someone who already collects Pokemon cards but doesn't really play the actual competitive card game (I just like the cool art, okay), this update feels a little targeted at me. I've only played a little bit of TCG Live, but it's definitely a visual upgrade, and there are systems in place to encourage learning.
I'm still hungry for the days of the*Pokemon Trading Card Game*on the Game Boy, which Arceus willing, will hit Nintendo Switch Online at some point (https://www.destructoid.com/game-boy-and-advance-nintendo-switch-online-expansion-pass/). But hey, maybe I'll run a bunch of code cards through the*TCG Live*service and see if I can rekindle the card game flame.
