“If people like this are willing to spend this much on packs, this app will be around for a long, long time.”
But one major fact may have gone unnoticed: TCG Pocket’s Pack Points will eventually expire.
Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Pack Points Will Expire
Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket’s Pack Points are useful for a number of reasons. Accumulated at five for every pack opened, these points can be spent in the Pack Point exchange, allowing you to create any one of the game’s cards—including the rarest Crown Rares and Immersive Cards. This is a great option for both collectors and battlers.
For collectors, it provides the perfect opportunity to craft cards missing from an expansion’s card dex, and for battlers, it’s great for creating cards required for building the most meta-relevant deck. The problem is, and it’s not made very clear, that these points will eventually expire.
Hidden by an information button, as pointed out by Reddit user dattra, the game says, “If the availability for a given booster pack ends, its pack points will no longer be available for exchange.”
If the availability for a given booster pack ends, its pack points will no longer be available for exchange.
Now, there’s no suggestion you need to panic and spend all of your pack points immediately; it seems likely that the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket developers will make packs available for a while, even when the next set is due for release in December. But it’s a little fact worth keeping in the back of your mind should DeNA decide that it wants to remove an expansion from the marketplace.
