Pokémon TCG Pocket is adding a highly anticipated trading system! This new feature, launching later this month, lets players exchange cards with friends, mirroring real-life trading.
One of the biggest draws of physical TCGs is the social aspect of trading. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to replicate this experience digitally. However, to ensure fairness and prevent exploitation, the trading system includes some key limitations.
Currently, trading is restricted to cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) and only between friends. Additionally, traded cards are consumed – you won't retain a copy after trading.
The developers plan to monitor the system's performance closely and make adjustments as needed after launch.
Trading System Details:
While the current limitations might seem restrictive, they represent a thoughtful approach to implementing a fair and balanced trading system. The team's commitment to monitoring and adjusting the system is reassuring. Further clarification on rarity tiers and potential consumable currency requirements is expected upon release.
