Summary

Pokemon TCG Pocketfans have noticed that Pack Points have a hidden expiry date, which could cause some confusion among players. Pack Points inPokemon TCG Pocketare useful for allowing players to get the exact cards they want, but once earned, players don’t keep their points forever.

In its early days,Pokemon TCG Pockethas proven to be a massive success, having already made over $120 million since its release, as per the most recent update. This number has undoubtedly increased since. It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise - the physical version ofPokemon TCGhas been enormous for almost three decades now, so The Pokemon Company finding a way to bring it to mobile devices was always going to be a hit. That said, it’s impressive how well it has managed to translate digitally.

Despite the positive reception, there’s one thing thatPokemon TCG Pocketplayers are not quite pleased about. A Reddit thread from dattra raised an issue withPokemon TCG Pocket’s Pack Points, after receiving a pop-up message in-game. This message confirmed that Pack Points “will no longer be available for exchange” if “the availability period for a given booster pack ends.” This means that players clinging on to their Pack Points will eventually lose them for nothing, so it’s worth spending them instead of hoarding.

Pack Points Expire in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Many players in the thread were surprised to learn of Pack Points' expiry, especially given there’s no date given in-game. One user claimed it “would be a potential rage inducing trending topic if it happens with no public announcement and general awareness with the community,” and it’s difficult to argue with that assessment. Players receive Pack Points by openingPokemon TCG Pocketbooster packs, and can then be used to craft specific cards to enhance a deck. They’re extremely important for players, so hopefully, players get proper notice when they’re set to expire.

Pack Point frustration aside, there’s plenty forPokemon TCG Pocketplayers to look forward to in the near future. Players can currently participate inPokemon TCG Pocket’s Fire Pokemon Mass Outbreak event, which gives players the chance to earn some rare Fire-type cards. Then, there’s the leaked Bulbasaur event, which is rumored to begin on December 6. Given the nature of the game, the next event will never be too far away, which should ensurePokemon TCG Pocketremains fresh for some time to come.
