The strategies differ based on your goals while playing on PC. You can stream your phone screen to the desktop, use an emulator, or rely on an app that enables mobile game play.
If you try to access the App Store or Google Play Store via your web browser, forget about downloading it. It'll either prompt you to pick a mobile or tablet device for installation or flat-out state it's only for iPhone and iPad.
Here are the clever workarounds:
📺 Screen Mirroring: Apps such as AirDroid and LetsView let you beam your phone screen onto your desktop. You can also attempt to connect via Bluetooth or USB.
🎮 Google Play Games: This PC application from the Google Play Store allows you to play select mobile games. It's currently in beta, and Pokémon TCG Pocket isn't available yet, but who knows what the future holds?
🎬 Emulate: Emulators like LDPlayer and BlueStacks are popular among players for getting mobile titles on their computers. Just install the emulator app and follow the steps to launch the game.
These are the primary, relatively user-friendly methods. However, a word of caution! If you play Pokémon TCG Pocket on PC via an emulator, there's a risk of triggering a warning within the game. You might even face an account ban, as Nintendo and TCPI aren't exactly fond of this practice.
