On Reddit, a user going by catburglerinparis shared their cool Pokemon TCG Pocket experience that they had on the same day they downloaded the app. Catburglerinparis explains that they're currently living in Japan, and that they don't know the language very well, making the experience a bit isolating. They just got the game after having fallen out of the traditional tabletop version due to scalpers, and were doing a Wonder Pick on a train when they noticed a student watching them play. Catburglerinparis turned their phone around and gave the random passenger the chance to pick the card for them, and they ended up choosing the EX card that catburglerinparis had been hoping to draw. While few words were exchanged, the two shared a fist bump, and it made for a memorable moment.

Fans Get Brought Together By Pokemon

Numerous users in the comments have been charmed by the situation, while others have taken the opportunity to share their own experiences with Pokemon games and strangers they've met. One fan shared a story of another Japanese speaker seeing them playing Pokemon, and despite a strong language barrier between the two, they ended up adding each other in the game. Another talked about waiting on tables and seeing a kid playing the game, so they randomly decided to hand over their own phone to let the same kid open their Pokemon TCG Pocket packs. That apparently led to them getting a Shiny Starmie, which they and the child both seemed happy about.

With Pokemon being a worldwide phenomenon, it can help to bring together people who might otherwise not have anything in common. Some gamers have developed life-long friendships or even romantic relationships with people met while playing Pokemon games. Chances are the series will keep bringing fans together like this for many more years.
