Pokémon TCG Pocket is adding a highly anticipated trading system! This new feature, launching later this month, lets you swap cards with friends, mirroring real-world trading.
One of the drawbacks of digital TCGs is the absence of the tactile experience of physical card collecting and trading. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to address this with its new trading mechanic.
How Trading Works:
- Trading is currently limited to cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) between friends.
- Traded cards are consumed; you won't retain a copy after trading.
The developers plan to monitor the system's performance after launch and make adjustments as needed.
Initial Thoughts:
While some limitations exist (certain rarity tiers may be excluded from trading, and consumable currency might be required), this implementation is a strong first step. The developers' commitment to ongoing assessment and refinement is encouraging. Further details regarding rarity restrictions and potential consumable currency requirements will likely be revealed upon release.
