Fan tells how Pokémon TCG Pocket brings generations together in the healthiest way

A very healthy interaction shared by a fan shows that the Pokémon TCG community is growing thanks to Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket. The app brings the trading card game into the digital age, allowing players to collect and battle with Pokémon cards. The app is completely free to download and play, making the TCG more accessible for everyone, no matter how familiar they are with the franchise.

Now, the app appears to be bridging generations by making it easy to access regardless of age or background. This is evident from the healthy exchange between a Pokémon fan and his mother which was shared by YogurtclosetMedium68 on Reddit. Redditor admits their mother “barely knows anything about Pokémon“, but joined the game just so he could share the experience with his son.

Pokémon TCG Pocket Wholesome Mom already has a full list of friends

She would be “happy to receive friend requests”

The Redditor’s mother apparently surprised them with a random number and later clarified that it was her friend code by sharing a screenshot. When asked how she knew they were playing, the mother replied: “It was highlighted in my game account, so I downloaded it.“The simple but sweet conversation with their mother shows how Pokémon Games can bring people together across generations.

The interaction touched the hearts of many commenters on the Reddit thread. Less than an hour after the image was shared on Reddit, Mom’s account was already overloaded with friend requests. Several players attempted to add her as a friend in the game, only to find that her friends list was already full. YogurtclosetMedium68 assures everyone that they considered removing their friend’s number but decided not to because “I think she would be happy to receive friend requests.“

Playing together is a reason to hurry up and introduce trading to TCG Pocket

Trading will come to TCG Pocket in January

One of the reasons the Redditor’s mother wanted to add them to the game was for negotiation. “We can negotiate now,” she writes in the original exchange that sparked the Reddit post. Unfortunately, trading is not actually available in TCG Pocket yetalthough it has been “coming soon” since the app launched.

The mother-son duo won’t have to wait long, however. Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket will add negotiations in January, although the exact date is not yet known. Thanks to all the friends the Redditor’s mom has now, they’ll probably have plenty of cards to trade soon.
