App brings Pokémon card collecting and battling to iOS

This summer, Nintendo offered the first glimpse into the new Pokémon TCG app for iPhone—and it looked pretty great.

Now the app is officially available for download.

Here’s are the app release notes:

• You can open packs every day to get cards!
  Collect cards every day! You can open two booster packs every day at no cost to collect Pokémon cards featuring heartwarming illustrations from the past as well as all-new cards exclusive to this game.
• New Pokémon cards!
  Immersive cards, a brand-new kind of card, make their debut here! With new illustrations that have a 3D feel, immersive cards will make you feel like you’ve leapt into the world of the card’s illustration!
• Show off your collection!
  You can use binders or display boards to showcase your cards and share them with the world!
• Casual battles—alone or with friends!
  You can enjoy casual battles during quick breaks in your day!

As someone who grew up with Pokémon, and fanatically bought and played with Pokémon cards all the time, this new app is exciting. It aims to take all the joy of my childhood and package it in a digital experience.

You can download the Pokémon TCG Pocket app on the App Store.
