TCGP: A Crimson Blaze Rages

Moving on to Pokémon and other related matters, there is the matter of something new for the mobile implementation of the TCG. That would be expected to be in the form of a new expansion, which in this case would be a mini expansion or a Themed Booster Pack. Now, like most prior Themed Booster Packs, this one also continues a major expansion that precedes it. After Mega Evolution first arose in this game, the natural step is to continue it, and that comes in the form of a "blaze of glory".

"Crimson Blaze" is the name of this Themed Booster Pack, and as indicated by its pack image and orange border, its focus is on the Charmander species family. More specifically, that would be on Mega Charizard Y as the embodiment of that evolved form's Fire-type side. True to that, the main "immersive" card features the species family and this specific Mega Evolution form all in the card image. It's a real blazing wonder that any player can have and play, if they can draw the right cards from the packs.

Besides Mega Charizard Y, the mini expansion also has the Mega Evolution forms for the other first generation fully evolved first partners, as Venusaur and Blastoise. It also has the Mega Evolution forms for Steelix and Lopunny, along with a selection of other complementary Pokémon that include a few Legendary Pokémon - two of which are from Kalos. Speaking of said region, one of the Crown rarity cards is a Pokémon with an "edge" on it, and the Supporter cards feature familiar faces from a familiar journey.

For the card numbers, the numbered section has 69 numbered cards, and the overnumbered section has 34 cards for a total of 103 cards in all. Its full art and Shiny selections, certainly in the latter section, have a few fascinating Pokémon in them that will surely please anyone who draws them within a pack. The Trainer card section is rather small in the number of cards, and their functions may be considered as "limited"; it seems their appeal would be if their full art versions are encountered upon, for both collection and play.

Given the contents of the cards in this mini expansion or Themed Booster Pack, they may be taken as a "special selection" for fans of Mega Evolution, and especially for a particular Fire-type Pokémon that has fascinated many fans since the early days of Pokémon, even into the present day. Its "blaze of glory" always burns bright for those fans, and those playing TCGP right now can harness that aspect in Mega Evolution form with this new mini expansion or Themed Booster Pack, keeping the flame raging.
