Pokemon TCG Pocket May Have Found the Answer to a Persistent Issue

by

It looks like *Pokemon TCG Pocket* has discovered a successful strategy to stop information leaks and data mining, which could prevent future spoilers. Over the last year, the game has experienced several significant leaks, often due to security flaws in the app itself.

Before the release of the *Pokemon TCG Pocket* A4 set, information found within the game’s code hinted it would be based on *Pokemon Gold and Silver*. This turned out to be true, as the set’s official reveal showcased Lugia and Ho-Oh as key cards. The A4 set wasn’t the only leak, and these incidents seem to have led the game’s developers, DeNA, to address the issue.

There May Be Fewer Pokemon TCG Pocket Leaks in the Future

As a big fan of *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, I was really interested to hear that DeNA, the game’s developer, has made some changes to how information gets leaked. A well-known leaker, CRanAYo, shared that they’ve altered “News leak paths,” and it sounds like we might see a lot fewer spoilers going forward. It’s not certain if people like CRanAYo will still be able to find information about upcoming content, but honestly, a lot of us in the community are happy about this. We’ve been frustrated with the constant leaks lately, as they’ve been ruining the surprise and excitement around new releases.

Some players have pointed out that most leaks for *Pokemon TCG Pocket* seem to be coming from official channels. This suggests that DeNA, the game’s developer, needs to improve communication between its social media and marketing teams. Several major leaks have happened when official accounts accidentally posted content too early. For example, details about the October expansion were revealed when images appeared on the game’s official website, and the full trailer for the September Deluxe Pack EX was posted early by an official source. These weren’t discovered through typical data mining, but rather accidental, premature releases.

It’s unclear if DeNA’s recent actions will stop future leaks for *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, but they definitely show the company is taking the problem seriously. This is likely because the game’s revenue and player numbers are falling, which is a major worry. The tougher stance against leakers appears to be a larger attempt to safeguard the game’s image. Fans understand that *Pokemon TCG Pocket* thrives on excitement for new card releases, and leaks can quickly ruin that anticipation.
