The announcement also teased the inclusion of named characters and Digimon, hinting at a possible story element that sets Digimon Alysion apart from the more gameplay-focused Pokémon TCG Pocket. While a specific release date remains under wraps, Gematsu has reported that a closed beta test is in the works, with further details to be announced later.
Given the soaring popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, Digimon Alysion could be a welcome addition for fans craving more card battling action centered around their favorite digital monsters. On the Pokémon side, the developers have acknowledged the need for changes to the trading system in Pokémon TCG Pocket, though these updates may take some time to implement.
Digimon Alysion appears to be a strategic move to expand the reach of the Digimon Card Game to a broader audience. With the resurgence of the Poké-Digi rivalry on the horizon, collectors and gamers who enjoy monster-themed card games will soon have more options to choose from. As we await more information and the eventual launch of Digimon Alysion, the excitement continues to build.
