Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket
Also known as: Pokémon TCGP Developer: DeNA Publisher: The Pokémon Company Platforms: iOS, Android Released internationally: October 31, 2024 Released in EU: September 26, 2024 This game has unused graphics. This game has revisional differences. This game has unusual dummy files.

This game is still under active development. Be aware that any unused content you find may become used or removed in the future. Please only add things to the article that are unlikely to ever be used, or went unused for some time. If they do get used, please remove them from the page and specify in the edit summary!

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: Revision Differences, preferably get on it before it becomes too much to handle. In relation to the rainbow rarity pictogram icon, the folder it was found in contains numerous other pictogram icons for things like card rarity icons and other icons. Should probably check if those pictogram icons are used anywhere ingame. There's a Google Drive of all the assets ripped from the game. The pictogram icons are in this "Common" folder, mostly named with a prefix of "cmn_pict_". Do note that the removed Fairy type icon still exists in this Drive, indicating that assets removed from the game are not removed from the Drive. Comparing Drive assets to freshly ripped ingame assets would be helpful in determining if anything has been removed.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is the second Pokémon mobile game developed by DeNA, this time putting more focus on the actual Pokémon themselves rather than their Masters. It features exclusive immersive cards that couldn't exist anywhere else.

Unused Graphics

Fairy Energy

A unused symbol for the Fairy-type was found in v1.0.0 before the game's worldwide release. It remained unused until the Mythical Island Expansion, where it would be removed from the files entirely. All would-be Fairy-types are Psychic or another type. Additionally, this icon appears to be in a different art style compared to the rest of the type icons that are seen in the game. This is due to the icon being in a directory alongside other energy icons that are used to create the card graphics. The lack of Fairy energy icons in other directories with higher quality versions of the icons, and a lack of Fairy type card assets in general indicates that this graphic was likely either ported into the game by mistake, or the idea was worked on briefly before entirely being scrapped.

Fairy was retired from the TCG during the 8th generation, while another type, Dragon, has been absent a few times since its introduction, but has also returned after its removals. Dragon has cards in TCGP with no weakness to Fairy or other types, so there's a small chance Fairy could be implemented later, though the removal of this graphic from the game does cast some doubt on this.

Unused Card Rarity

Two graphics for an unused card rarity exist in the files. The prevailing theory about this icon is that it was intended for the 2-star rainbow-bordered full art EX cards, before it was decided that they would just be 2-star cards. Further supporting this idea is the color gradient of the icon matches that of the border of said cards. The rarity index for this unused icon is one higher than the Crown rarity, which could also indicate plans to make proper rainbow holographic cards that would have been rarer than the golden Crown cards.

While the above icon was the one most dataminers had found and shown off, an additional version was located in a directory of pictogram style assets such as rarity icons and other pictogram icons.

Unused Stage 1/2 Card Graphics

Seven images of Pokémon are present in a directory of assets used for cards to show what Pokémon the card evolves from. These seven images currently go unused, though they will be used at some point in the future once the evolutions of these Pokémon are added.

Unused PvP Event Stamina Assets

Four graphics for Versus Battle stamina exist in the assets, but go entirely unused as PvP events do not require stamina. Unlike the used PvE event graphics, which feature a blue hourglass graphic, there is no associated purple hourglass graphic.

As well, a pictogram icon for this unused energy type can also be found in the game files.

Unused Trainer Card Assets

Two different unused trainer card types have graphics associated with them in the assets that go entirely unused despite being (mostly) translated for each language.

Stadium

Stadium card graphics. Unlike the Pokemon Tool cards, the Stadium graphics only consist of the text graphics, with no matching green colored card graphics found in the game files.

	Korean
	Portuguese
	Italian
	Japanese
	French

Pokemon Tool

Graphics for Pokemon Tool cards. These graphics may become used in the near future, as there is a search filter option ingame specifically for Pokemon Tool. Unlike the Stadium card text graphics, which were fully translated to each supported language, the Pokemon Tool text graphic was not translated to Spanish.

There are also four graphics for Pokémon Tool cards leftover in the assets, used to construct the body of the card.
