Pokémon Trading Card Game Online

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Online launched in 2011 and has been largely superseded by Pokémon TCG Live (2023). The original remains online but with a much-reduced population. While once popular, most activity has migrated to the new platform. Given its age and replacement, a DAP in the low thousands (~4,000) is a reasonable estimate. Its genre (online card game) means its numbers can persist longer but decline after official support and community interest shift.
