Why isn't there a Pokemon TCG app for iPhone?
So, you're wondering why your iPhone can't be a Pokedex for TCG? It's all about the game's development and distribution strategies. While there's an online version of Pokemon TCG (Pokemon TCG Live), it's primarily designed for desktop to replicate that feeling of playing the game on a big screen, just like in real-life tournaments. There's also the technical side of things—making a game that works smoothly across different devices is tricky. Plus, Apple has strict rules about in-app purchases, which could be a hurdle for trading and buying card packs in-game.

Honestly, it just boils down to the companies not seeing eye to eye. Apple's got its rules, Pokemon's got its vibe, and sometimes the two just don't match. Maybe they'll sort it out one day, but for now, no Pokemon TCG fun on the iPhone.
I've been playing the online version on my PC, and honestly, it rocks. Sure, not having it on iPhone is a bummer, but the desktop experience is top-notch. Gives you that real feel of playing the game with all the visual goodies. Plus, no squinting at tiny screens!
