How to Get Pokémon TCG Pocket Cards in Different Languages

Last updated on: Nov 15, 2024

Pokémon TCG Pocket allows players to collect cards in multiple languages, enhancing the gameplay experience. Whether you're a collector or just enjoy exploring the game in different languages, managing your card languages effectively is key. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the language options in the game.

Understanding Language Options

Pokémon TCG Pocket supports nine languages: English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, Italian, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish. Each card retains its original language, allowing players to collect different versions of each card. You can explore a variety of languages, adding to the depth and charm of the game.

Setting Your Language

When you first download and launch Pokémon TCG Pocket, you will be prompted to select your preferred language. This language choice will determine the language of the card packs you receive initially.

If you wish to change your language later, simply navigate to Menu > Other > Settings > System. After changing the language, all new cards you open will match your updated settings. Keep in mind that existing cards in your collection will remain in their original language.

Opening Packs

After selecting your language, every pack you open will reflect the language currently set in your app settings. However, once a card is acquired, its language cannot be changed, even if you later switch languages.

Viewing Card Languages

You can easily view different language versions of each card in your collection by accessing 'My Cards'. This feature allows you to see all available versions for any card, giving you a comprehensive look at your multilingual collection.

Playing with Cards

During gameplay, the language of the cards will match your system settings. This means you don't need to be familiar with multiple languages to understand your cards while playing—your selected language will be applied throughout.

Customizing Display Boards

You can further customize your language preferences by adjusting the language displayed on your boards. To do this, simply click the Flair button and select your preferred language under the Language option.

Gift Box Packs

For packs sent to your Gift Box, such as promo packs, the language of the cards is determined by the language setting at the time you claim the pack, not when you earned it. Be sure to check your language settings before claiming any packs from your Gift Box.

By following these simple steps, you can manage your multilingual card collection in Pokémon TCG Pocket and enjoy a richer, more diverse gameplay experience.
