Fans also caught a glimpse of several characters and Digimon that might feature in a narrative component, setting Digimon Alysion apart from the more gameplay-focused Pokémon TCG Pocket. Although a specific release date remains undisclosed, Gematsu has reported that a closed beta test is on the horizon, with more details to be announced later.
Given the overwhelming popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, Digimon Alysion presents an exciting opportunity for fans eager to engage in more Digimon card battling. Meanwhile, on the Pokémon side, developers have acknowledged the need for changes to the trading system in Pokémon TCG Pocket, though these updates may take some time to implement.
Digimon Alysion appears to be geared towards expanding the reach of its card game to a broader audience. With the timing potentially ripe for a resurgence of the Poké-Digi rivalry, fans of monster-themed card collecting are poised to enjoy a wealth of options. As Digimon Alysion progresses toward its eventual launch, we can look forward to learning more about what it has to offer.
