Coinciding with this news is the announcement that the Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game Online<\/a> app is shutting down. The Pok\u00e9mon Company states that servers will close, and the app, which launched in 2011, will be removed from digital storefronts shortly before the launch of TCG Live, but the exact timing has not been specified. You can still play the app as usual up until the shutdown. You can also transfer account information and certain cards from TCG Online to TCG Live when it launches, but some items, such as in-game currency, friend\u2019s list, and avatar items, will not be transferable.
