A popular fan-theory about getting rare cards from Pokémon TCG Pocket booster packs has been debunked. Players believed that packs with slight wrinkles or creases contained better cards, but this has been proven false. A user discovered that the contents of booster packs are determined when players click "open a pack," not by the pack's appearance. This revelation has led to discussions among fans about the game's mechanics. Pokémon TCG Pocket launched last week and has been downloaded over 10 million times, generating £17.8 million in revenue. The game has introduced two limited-time events and plans to add trading features soon.
