I’ve been playing Game Freak’s games ever since I discovered Pokémon Red and Blue as a child.
And despite a deep love of Pokémon, Pocket Card Jockey is, unironically, my favorite GF game of all time.
The gameplay is simple, and fun, with lots of depth to dive into if you want - or you can just play completely mindlessly! Visually, it’s cute as heck, and the dialogue and characters are just OOZING with charm!
And this game is PERFECT for mobile! As much as I loved it on my 3DS, the short, quick games are best-suited to a phone, where you can just play a game when you have a few free minutes, and then set it back down!
I’ve long hopes to see PCJ on mobile, but I always feared it would come with disgusting F2P MTX. But…no! Here it is, in all its glory, with no pressure for added payments - just pure, unadulterated fun!
I love this game, and everyone with an Apple Arcade subscription should give it a play.
The only thing I want is MORE - a sequel, DLC… something! This game is so good, I hope we see more of Pocket Card Jockey in future… one way or another!
