Pokemon TCG Pocket 'Gold & Silver' Leak: Is Gen 2 About to Drop?
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Rumours are flying about the next Pokemon TCG Pocket expansion, with whispers of a Gen 2 theme, baby Pokemon, and even Mega Evolutions – but as always, take it with a grain of salt until we get official confirmation!
Right, so the rumour mill's been churning, and according to Game Rant, it looks like Pokemon TCG Pocket might be diving headfirst into the world of Gold and Silver. Supposedly, this is all thanks to a cheeky leak pointing to Gen 2 content in the upcoming 'A4' expansion. Now, I'm always a bit skeptical of these things – it's easy to get excited over whispers, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, yeah?
But stick with me, because it gets a bit more interesting. The initial leak also hinted at what's coming *after* the main A4 set, specifically the mini-sets. We're potentially talking baby Pokemon (Pichu, anyone?) and, wait for it... Mega Evolutions. Now, Mega Evolutions were always kind of expected, weren't they? Like finding a rare shiny – inevitable, but still bloody exciting when it happens.
Game Rant mentions that these rumours are swirling just ahead of a Pokemon Presents event, which is expected to drop a teaser trailer for the A4 expansion. Timing-wise, it makes sense. They reckon the next set could drop around July 30th, fueled by a major trade feature update hitting the game on July 29th. It's all lining up a bit *too* neatly, isn't it?
The leaker, apparently some digital sleuth named CranAYO, dug up some shop accessories that suggest the Gen 2 theme. These same digital breadcrumbs also pointed towards baby Pokemon in the A4a mini-set, and then the Mega Evolutions landing in A4b. October seems to be the rumored release window for the Mega Evolutions, suspiciously close to the expected Pokemon Legends: Z-A launch. Coincidence? I think not!
Now, of course, the peanut gallery is divided on whether any of this is legit. Some reckon it's bonkers to introduce Mega Evolutions in a Gen 2 set instead of a Kalos-themed one. I can see their point, fair dinkum. Others are saying even if the info is accurate, it doesn't guarantee we know the deets for all three upcoming sets. True enough. It's like trying to predict the lottery numbers based on your dreams, innit?
But hey, let's not forget that Pokemon TCG Pocket already surprised us with the Extradimensional Crisis set, which threw Ultra Beasts into the mix via a mini-set. So, major card types appearing in smaller sets? Not unprecedented. Maybe DeNA's just trying to keep us on our toes – and fair play to them if they are.
Look, as Game Rant rightly points out, this is all just speculation until we get some official confirmation. Still, it's fun to chew on these rumours, isn't it? July 22nd is the day to mark in your calendars – that's when the Pokemon Presents should drop the A4 trailer and hopefully give us some solid answers. Until then, treat it all with a healthy dose of skepticism... and a sprinkle of hope, yeah?
