Pokémon TCG Pocket appears to be the overnight success that The Pokémon Company and its partners were hoping for, as the game is already approaching several records in mobile gaming just days after its release.

In the first two days of its global release, Pokémon TCG Pocket has achieved over 10 million downloads— which shows that it’s already among the best mobile games on the market right now. But this is just the beginning of its successful launch.

This preliminary data would catapult TCG Pocket to the third biggest mobile version of all time based on revenue, although we won’t know for sure since The Pokémon Company does not release this information publicly.

Sensor Tower analyst Sam Aune noted, via Game File, that a big release doesn’t “necessarily correlate 1:1 with mega success,” pointing to megahits like Monopoly Go, Royal Match, and Honor of Kings growing over time for to reach an incredible level. numbers rather than having explosive releases.

Despite Aune’s caveat that these figures are preliminary and unconfirmed by TPC, Sensor Tower also estimates that the game grossed $2.8 million on its second day.

With them the first event already underway and plenty of positive buzz after release, Pokémon TCG Pocket looks set to be another success in the mobile market for Pokémon – joining Pokémon Go and Pokémon UNITE in elite company. Now we just have to see if the game can support the interest of the player beyond the first few weeks, especially with his more casual audience.
