An open letter to every competitive Pokémon TCG Pocket player.
At Pokémon EUIC in London, Chris Brown, Pokémon's Director of Global Esports & Events, was asked about the future of competitive TCG Pocket.
His answer:
"With Pocket, what feels great for us right now is the Side Events, a casual way for people to meet up. There are no plans for it to be a main title."
No competitive scene. No ranked system. No esports. Just "a casual way for people to meet up."
Let that sit for a moment.
This is a game with 150M+ downloads. $1.3B+ in revenue. 2 billion battles played. The most successful mobile TCG launch in history. And the official position is: keep it casual.
Meanwhile, last weekend, 1,172 players from 45+ countries competed in a PGL tournament for $1,500 in prizes. 3,338 matches played in 2 days.
Nobody asked permission. Nobody waited for an official circuit.
The players decided this game deserved a competitive scene. So they built one.
PGL has been running tournaments for over a year. Thousands of matches. A community of players who take this game seriously, because someone should.
Now we're building the app. The full infrastructure that TCG Pocket was always missing.
Nintendo built the game. We're building the sport.
This isn't a protest. This is just reality, the best players in the world needed a home, and the people who made the game decided not to build one.
So we did.
If you've ever felt like the competitive side of this game was being ignored, you're not wrong. And you're not alone.
Welcome to PGL.
The league that was never supposed to exist, built by the players who refused to stop competing.

The staff worked nonstop. The Pokémon TCG Pocket community showed up like never before. This is the biggest tournament in PGL history, and it delivered.
Thank you to every player who trusted us with their time. Thank you to the judges who held it together. This community is the reason PGL exists.
GG to everyone who competed 🏆
It's just the beginning.
A new tournament is coming, and the Duels League has just started a new round in Discord🔥
$PRXS bounced perfectly from the bottom and looks like it wants to break ATHs sooner than later.
People are slowly speaking about the new meta for AI agents, called ERC-8004.
Once people know that $PRXS is frontrunning the new meta, people will just FOMO buy.
Higher.
$MAXI killing it and adding more and more value to their ecosystem.
Chart looks like it wants $5m very soon.
I feel like September about to be GREAT for us 👀🤝
Ethena Founder thinks that too many institutions are launching stablecoins
“I think it’s an awful outcome for everyone, it’s driven by ego, every institution thinks they need their own branded stablecoin”
This is the root motivation behind most everything well-done in the world. Build for yourself first, so you can clearly gauge the quality, and you'll likely find others who share your sensibilities. This is the story of Rails and Omarchy alike.
