Give us a dark mode

Look, we’ve had a long day, our eyes are bleary from staring at screens and the faces of other human beings, and we don’t need that glare.

Ethan put it like this when discussing the game’s desperate need for a dark mode:

It’s midnight. The room is pitch black. I gingerly creep into bed so as not to disturb the amorphous blob of children that may be residing somewhere near its center. I’m sleep-deprived but unable to turn my brain off. I pull out my phone and see a tiny notification out of the corner of my eye that my booster pack stamina has recharged. My finger taps the Pokémon TCG Pocket icon to open the game and collect my rewards. The light of a hundred dying suns immediately fills the room.

Genuinely, I’ve used Pokémon TCG Pocket instead of my phone’s torch when getting around the house with the lights off. That’s probably a bit much.
