Pokemon TCG Pocket Has Good News About Future Expansions

Pokemon TCG Pocket Pack Hourglasses: Confirmed for Future Expansions

Recent speculation suggested that the upcoming Pokemon TCG Pocket expansion would render Pack Hourglasses obsolete. However, The Pokemon Company has officially confirmed that this is untrue. Pack Hourglasses will continue to function as intended, reducing booster pack opening delays by one hour per hourglass, regardless of the expansion.

This confirmation follows the October 2024 release of Pokemon TCG Pocket and the subsequent addition of the Mythical Island booster pack. With another expansion anticipated in January 2025, concerns arose about the future utility of these hourglasses. Rumors of a new in-game currency for expansion-specific hourglass purchases have been dispelled by The Pokemon Company's statement.

Players can continue accumulating Pack Hourglasses, knowing they will remain valuable for speeding up pack openings. Without hourglasses, players rely on Pack Stamina, which replenishes at 12-hour intervals, allowing for two pack openings per day. Hourglasses are obtainable through daily challenges and the daily Complimentary Item Set in the shop.

The persistence of Pack Hourglasses alongside other in-game currencies (Wonder Hourglasses, various tickets, Poke Gold, Pack Points, etc.) ensures continued player engagement and strategic resource management within Pokemon TCG Pocket. The game's ongoing success strongly suggests that future expansions and updates are likely. (Replace with actual image URL if available)
