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-world trading experiences.
One of the biggest draws of physical card games is the social aspect of trading. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to replicate this with its new system. However, there are some key limitations:
- Rarity Matching: Only cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) can be traded.
- Friend-to-Friend Trading: Trading is restricted to friends only.
- Consumable Items: 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. While some rarity tiers may be excluded from trading initially, and consumable currency might be involved, these details should be clarified upon release.
Despite potential limitations, this trading implementation is a promising step towards a more engaging digital TCG experience. The developers' commitment to ongoing assessment and refinement is reassuring.
