Pokemon TCG Pocket already has a way to win on the first turn and probably always will.
The title launched worldwide this morning and players were ready to tear open some packs. Unfortunately though, things aren't that simple and there have been dozens of reports of players unable to jump into the game due to major crash issues.
Major news about the TCG Plague Pokemon Pocket Collapse
Shortly after Pokemon TCG Pocket went live, the game's unofficial Subreddit was flooded with posts from potential players hoping to gain access to the game. These players have reported across many threads that the game won't even make it past the first screen due to crashes.
While most of the crashes were reported on iPhone, with players running iOS 18.0, 18.1, and 17.6.1 sharing their issues, players with Android phones also claimed to have been hit by the crash. These reports come from players with Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, Xiaomi Note 8 Pro and Xiaomi 11t Pro.
Since the game is barely a few hours old, the problem can probably only be attributed to early stage issues, which developers Creatures and DeNA will likely fix soon. Unfortunately, the issues remain for the time being and players will have to wait a little while longer to be able to rip decks, build decks, and battle others without issues.
