Pokémon Fan Calculates How Long It Will Take To Collect Every Card In TCG Pocket

Pokémon has a way inspiring the completionist within people, setting them up on intense collect-a-thons that either take them to unimagined glory or exhaustion laced with deep personal shame. Pokémon TCG Pocket is no different, situating the long-running mania around the card game into a slick, free-to-play package that’s easy to pickup and hard to put down. One fan did the hard work of actually trying to figure out how long it would take on average to get every card currently in the game. The answer isn’t pretty. — Ethan Gach
