Teasers have also introduced several named characters and Digimon, hinting at a potential story aspect that would differentiate Digimon Alysion from the more gameplay-focused Pokémon TCG Pocket. While no official release date has been announced, Gematsu reported that a closed beta test is in the works, with more details to follow.
With Pokémon TCG Pocket's success, Digimon Alysion presents an exciting opportunity for fans of card battling and Digimon alike. Meanwhile, changes to the trading system in Pokémon TCG Pocket are on the horizon, though implementation may take some time.
Digimon Alysion seems poised to bring the Digimon Card Game to a broader audience, potentially reigniting the classic rivalry between Pokémon and Digimon. For enthusiasts of collecting cards featuring fun monsters, the future looks bright with more options on the horizon. As Digimon Alysion progresses towards its launch, we can expect to learn more about what it has in store.
