Pokemon TCG Pocket Surpasses 30 Million Downloads in Just One Week—It’s the Pokémon Go Phenomenon All Over Again

Are you finding yourself constantly obsessed with collecting those elusive creatures? Well, you might be someone who should probably steer clear of animal shelters, or maybe you’ve joined the ranks of Pokemon TCG Pocket players, helping the game soar past 30 million downloads.

Yes, indeed! As announced in a tweet from the game’s official account, this card-collecting phenomenon has achieved this staggering milestone within just its first week. It seems to be on a fast track, much like the phenomenon of Pokemon Go, and is becoming something you simply can’t ignore.

In the heart of the message, there’s a sense of amazement: “T-t-t-thirty million?! How many packs have been opened, then?” they wonder. “On behalf of everyone involved in the game, thank you for all your support! Seriously. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a shot and tell us what you think.”

Frankly, I must admit, at least three of my colleagues seem to have had their lives consumed by this game. It’d be great if you could cut them some slack and maybe deal them some winning cards!

Speaking of the game’s impact, let’s put things into perspective. Pokemon Go reached 30 million users by the end of its debut month and has been a massive financial success ever since, despite the memorable chaos of its early days—like those 2016 headlines about ‘Pokemon Go players getting waterbombed in a Sydney suburb.’ Ah, the nostalgia!

Right now, Pokemon TCG Pocket’s success is no different, with substantial revenue reportedly rolling in. I can just imagine some executives clinking glasses, perhaps eyeing a new Bentley with a Pokemon-themed wrap.
