The ‘90s are back. At least, that's what the makers of the Pokémon Trading Card Game hope. An iPad version of the card game has surfaced at the World Championships in Washington DC, and representatives have confirmed to Polygon that the game is real. It's reportedly scheduled to be released sometime this year, but from the looks of it, the game is a simple port of the Windows and Mac version of the trading card game that has been available for some time. Assuming it's largely the same as that game, it will be free to play, and players will be able to import physical cards to their digital decks. Of course, Pokémon's a little late to the punch: a little card game called Hearthstone has become a huge success in just a few months since launching on iPad.
