Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket was released October 30 for iOS and Android .

In its first week , the game was downloaded more than 30 million times.

It was nominated for Best Mobile Game of 2024 at The Game Awards on Monday .

Like Pokémon Go , Pocket is a hit game that grew into a worldwide phenomenon.

The game's appeal lies in taking some part of that '90s fandom and putting it in your palm.

Pokémon TCG Pocket is masterfully built to pull you in.

Every player gets two free packs a day , but players can bypass that by paying for them.

The game counts wins, but losing (or conceding) doesn’t hurt you either.

More cards are on the way before the year ends, and its first big update in January will allow players to trade certain cards.
