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.
One of the key appeals of physical TCGs is the tangible collecting and trading experience. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to replicate this with its new system.
Here's how the trading mechanic will work:
- Friend-to-friend trading only: Trades are exclusively between friends.
- Same rarity requirement: Cards must share the same rarity (1-4 stars) to be traded.
- Consumable items: 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 Observations and Future Considerations:
While the system has some limitations (certain rarity tiers may be excluded from trading, and consumable currency might be involved), it's a solid initial implementation of a much-requested feature. The developers' commitment to ongoing assessment and refinement is encouraging. Further details regarding rarity restrictions and potential consumable currency requirements will likely be clarified upon release.
