Pokémon Trading Card Game Coming to iPad Later This Year

So, it's finally happened. A Pokémon game is actually going to hit the App Store later this year. Who'd have thought it?

Pokémon Trading Card Game Online is that game, and thanks to the photo snapping skills of Josh Wittenkeller on Twitter there's a sneak peek at what it looks like. The photo was taken at the Pokémon World Championship, which took place last weekend in Washington D.C, with the iPad game being shown to some attendees there.

Nintendo has said for a long time now that they have no intention of releasing any games on the App Store but it looks like that's set to change soon. A spokesperson for The Pokémon Company told VentureBeat's GamesBeat that a game is set for release later this year.

We'll be sure to let you know more as and when we get it.
