APokemon TCG Pocketplayer has shared a promo card idea inspired by the surprised Pikachu meme, and the community is delighted.Pokemon TCG Pocketplayers get promo cards through limited-time events, missions, or in the in-game store. They usually have alternative arts and abilities that are sometimes the same or have minor adjustments compared to their counterparts.
Among the 41Pokemon TCG Pocketpromo cards, some stand out, such as Mewtwo, Pikachu, and Piplup, cards released through the premium subscription. To celebrate 40 billionPokemoncards acquired by players worldwide, and the New Year, deNA has distributed two promotional cards with adorable illustrations featuring Pikachu and the Kanto starters. Promotional cards explore the potential of alternative art, adding even more variety to the game. Adding to that, aPokemon TCG Pocketplayer has the ideal concept to celebrate a well-known date.
Redditor Polendri has created a concept that turns the surprised Pikachu meme into a fun promo card they ask the devs to add on April Fools' Day. To make thePokemon TCG Pocketplayer’s ideaeven more fun, they gave it the ability “Surprise,” which makes it deal damage when it becomes the player’s active card. Originally taken from episode 10 of the first season of thePokemonanime, the image went viral by showing Pikachu with its mouth open as if surprised, inspiring countless memes on social media.
Card Concept Based on Surprised Pikachu Meme Delights Pokemon TCG Pocket Players
The comments section approved of the OP’s idea, suggesting even more humorous ideas such as increasing the card’s damage to +100 only on April Fools. Other players gave their ideas for cards they’d like to see added on the date, such as Imakuni? and Imakuni?’s Doduo, two cards inspired by Tomoaki Imakuni, a veteran artist working onPokemon TCGcards since the Base Set days. Another comment said they hope to see a Bidoof ex given as an April Fool’s gift, givenBidoof’s popularity amongPokemonfans.
Although the Polendri promo card isn’t official, there are other cards of thePokemonfranchise mascot that are available inPokemon TCG Pocket. One of the most notable examples is theimmersive Pikachu card, which shows the Gen 1 pocket monster in a forest surrounded by other Kanto monsters such as Butterfree, Ponyta, and Caterpie. Players can also try their luck at pulling the equally rare Pikachu ex with full artwork and a golden background, one of the variants of the regular ex.
