December 6 Could Be a Big Day For Pokemon TCG Pocket Fans

Pokemon TCG Pocket has been huge not only for the Pokemon community, but for mobile games as a whole. Pokemon TCG Pocket has given other major deck-builders a run for their money, although it’s still very early in its lifespan. This means that the game will need to pick up momentum sooner than later if it wants to stay in the competition, and a leaked December update could do just that.

Pokemon TCG Pocket was released on October 30, meaning the game is very rapidly approaching its one-month anniversary. In that short time, Pokemon TCG Pocket‘s historic launch was quickly followed by record-setting revenue sales. Despite this massive success, no game is without its unique challenges. Thankfully, the rate of updates so far suggests that developers may be ready to handle them.

Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Leaked December 6 Update Explained

The Source Behind Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Leaked Update

Pokemon TCG Pocket is currently scheduled to receive an update on December 6. The game has experienced a steady stream of updates since launch, but many of them were simple bug fixes and the like. Regardless, it’s good news that the game is being frequently worked on, and one would hope that this trend continues well into the foreseeable future.

Some details of this update are currently unknown, but the recent leak may change that. While the information remains unconfirmed for now, the nature of the leak does carry a certain level of credibility. Specifically, these details of the December 6 update were uncovered thanks to a datamine from the game itself. While such a breach of information could have implications for Pokemon TCG Pocket‘s future events, it’s at least good news for players that are looking to plan accordingly.

Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Starter Lineup Faces a Challenge

The December 6 update will actually serve as Pokemon TCG Pocket‘s first major content update. Furthermore, it seems intended to resolve a small yet noticeable issue with the game’s roster. As has become unfortunately common in the Pokemon series, Venusaur has begun to fall a little behind its Kanto Region counterparts.

It’s no surprise that Charizard would seemingly lead the pack, given its immense popularity over time. However, Blastoise has proven to be a very strong contender in Pokemon TCG Pocket‘s beginner meta. Venusaur could certainly use a helping hand to keep up with the other two Kanto Starters, and the December update may bring a small remedy to do just that.

Contents of Pokemon TCG Pocket’s December 6 Update

Similar to other mobile deck-builders like Marvel Snap, cosmetics are a huge part of Pokemon TCG Pocket‘s appeal. In fact, they are often one of the biggest revenue streams for games of the genre. It’s rather appropriate, then, that they would serve as a major factor in the first content update for Pokemon TCG Pocket.

The December 6 update will apparently feature a whole set of cosmetic items entirely based around Venusaur. They encompass pretty much every single item that can be customized, from profile icons to playmats. Considering how little time has passed since launch, it’s unlikely that this release has anything to do with the decent level of popularity enjoyed by Pokemon TCG Pocket‘s Venusaur decks. Instead, it’s more likely that developers simply anticipated this outcome, and are acting accordingly.

In even better news, Venusaur may not be alone. According to another round of leaks, a Pokemon TCG Pocket Bulbasaur event is in the works, which pairs the lovable monster with Magnemite. Interestingly enough, this event will supposedly overlap with Venusaur’s, further demonstrating the game’s commitment to consistently releasing new content.

The Kanto Region Starter Pokemon are some of the most iconic ever introduced in the series. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that they’d be some of the first to receive the spotlight. Venusaur sometimes lags behind the popularity of Blastoise and especially Charizard, so this particular update comes as a pleasant surprise. More importantly, Pokemon fans can rest assured that TCG Pocket will seemingly continue with the fast pace of its updates, and hopefully enjoy a healthy meta going forward.
