And you can get one for yourself!
The latest piece of questionable information regarding the mobile TCG comes from a video that went viral on social media overnight. In the video, a player is seen cutting his card in half while opening the pack, but don't worry, it's fake.
The player appears to cut their card in half when opening the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Pack
Imagine the scene. You've waited 12 hours to be able to open your next free pack in the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, and a wrong hand move means you've ripped your card right down the middle. As seen in the tweet above, this allegedly happened to one of the players in the game.
The tweet received nearly five million views and 73,000 likes in just over 12 hours, with dozens of commenters worried that their cards might be damaged by mistake. The video was later shared on the game's subreddit, receiving similar reactions.
In the name of science, the three of us at TheGamer lined up our packs, ready to see if we could rip the cards, and the good news is, we couldn't.
As you can see from the video above, the game prevents you from straying too far from the standard tear line, thus, preventing you from ripping straight through the middle of your card and debunking a viral video. All three of us got the same result.
Don't believe everything you see on the internet, guys.
