And you can get one for yourself!
The latest piece of questionable information regarding the mobile TCG comes from a video that went viral on social media overnight. In the video, a player seemingly slices their cards in half when opening a pack, but don’t worry, it’s a fake.
Player Seemingly Chops Their Cards In Half When Opening A Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Pack
Imagine the scene. You’ve waited 12 hours to be able to open your next free pack in Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, and an errant hand movement means you slice straight through the middle of your cards. That’s what purportedly happened to one of the game’s players, as seen in the tweet placed above.
The tweet garnered almost five million views and 73 thousand likes within just over 12 hours, with dozens of commenters worried that they may accidentally ruin their cards. The video was subsequently shared on the game’s subreddit, receiving a similar reaction.
In the name of science, three of us at TheGamer put our packs on the line, ready to see if we could tear through the cards, and the good news is, we couldn’t.
As you can see from the above video, the game stops you from deviating too far away from the standard tear line, thus, preventing you from ripping straight through the middle of your cards and debunking the viral video. All three of us got the same results.
Don’t believe everything you see on the internet, folks.
