The Pokémon Company has also shared a notice mentioning how it’s still in the process of rolling out around the globe on both Android and Apple devices, and may only be available in select regions right now. So if you’re in a country where it’s releasing and can’t see it on your local storefront just yet, don’t worry – it should show up in time.
The Pokémon Company: “Give it time, as it appears to be rolling out. It’s showing that it is available for Android devices in specific regions…The button has been pressed!”
The initial store download on Android is around 188 MB with a 312 MB in-game update when you launch the title.
This new digital version of the TCG allows you to experience the game in a “more casual way”. You’ll open booster packs and collect cards, and each player will receive free booster packs every day as part of the experience. In the leadup to this game’s release, there were more than six million registrations.
