‘Pokémon’ reality TV show based on ‘Pokémon Trading Card Game’ is in early development stage

A new unscripted show based on the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) is being developed, according to an announcement from the creators of the game. The company has issued a casting call for applicants of all ages and their family members. The casting call is focused on the fans of the Los Angeles region of California. Interested candidates can also apply by visiting the website of the casting agency.

It’s unclear why or what the overall idea behind a reality show would be, but it might have something to do with the enormous revival the franchise has had over the past year. According to several analysts, the Covid-19 outbreak sparked a greater interest in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which resulted in enormous sales that frequently saw retailers run out of stock.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) was launched in Japan in 1996 and in the West in 1998. In 2003, The Pokémon Company International became the publisher and distributor of TCG.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Online app was first released in 2011 for web browsers, followed by releases for PC and Mac in 2012, iOS devices in 2014, and Android smartphones in 2016.
