While details are still limited, the teaser hints at a potential story mode, featuring several named characters and Digimon. This could set Digimon Alysion apart from the more gameplay-focused Pokémon TCG Pocket, offering a richer narrative experience.

No specific release date has been announced yet, but Gematsu reports that a closed beta test is on the horizon, with more information to be released soon. This is an exciting development for fans eager to dive into the world of Digimon card battling on their mobile devices.

With Pokémon TCG Pocket's success paving the way, Digimon Alysion could be the perfect opportunity for Digimon fans to enjoy their favorite card game on the go. Meanwhile, over in the Pokémon universe, developers are working on improving the trading system in Pokémon TCG Pocket, though these changes may take some time to implement.

Digimon Alysion seems poised to expand the reach of the Digimon Card Game to a broader audience. As the Poké-Digi rivalry heats up once again, fans of monster-based card collecting will have more options than ever. Stay tuned for more updates as Digimon Alysion moves closer to its launch date.
