Why isn't Pokemon TCG on iPhone?

Pokemon TCG isn't on iPhone because Apple has strict guidelines on apps that offer real money trading (RMT) and gambling, which complicates launching games like Pokemon TCG that involve trading and collecting. Also, the developers may not have figured out a way to implement it that meets both Apple's policies and provides a good user experience.

Technical issues. Bringing a game as complex as Pokemon TCG to iPhone isn鈥檛 a walk in the park. The game might not perform well, or the user experience might not be up to snuff on a small screen.

It's all about the money, folks. Apple takes a 30% cut of in-app purchases, and the developers behind Pokemon TCG probably don't like that math. They'd lose a big chunk of the revenue from card pack sales.

Honestly, it feels like a missed opportunity. Maybe they're working on it, and we just gotta be patient. Who knows? Fingers crossed it happens!
