Pokémon fans and card collectors are in for a treat as the official card-collecting app has been announced
The new Pokémon TCG card-collecting app was unveiled with a trailer during the closing ceremony of the Pokémon World Championships in Hawaii.
The trailer highlighted the app's features, including opening packs with a touch screen in various locations and trading with other collectors. The release date of 30 October was also announced during the event.
The trailer ended with a glimpse of an "Immersive Card" featuring Mewtwo, allowing players to explore the digital art in a 3D space — offering a more detailed view of the card art than ever before.

Besides opening packs, users will be able to view their collections, trade cards, explore art in greater detail, and possibly access additional features that have yet to be revealed.
