Troubleshooting Error 102 in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Pokémon TCG Pocket, the popular mobile card game, occasionally encounters Error 102. This error, often accompanied by a longer code (e.g., 102-170-014), abruptly returns you to the home screen. The most common cause is server overload, frequently occurring during the release of new expansion packs. The game's servers simply can't handle the surge in players.
However, if Error 102 appears on a non-release day, consider these troubleshooting steps:
- Restart the App: Force-quitting and restarting the Pokémon TCG Pocket application can often resolve the issue.
- Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, switch to a 5G mobile data connection for better stability.
If the error persists during an expansion pack launch, server congestion is the likely culprit. Patience is key; the issue usually resolves within the first day or so as server load decreases.
