Pokémon TCG Pocket's trading feature launch has been underwhelming, despite high player demand. To compensate, developers are giving away 1000 Trade Tokens via the in-game Gifts menu while they rework the trading system. This follows player complaints about trading restrictions, including rarity limitations and the need for Trade Tokens to facilitate trades.
Reworking the Trading System
The initial design choices regarding trading seem questionable. A more open trading system, or eliminating the feature altogether, might have avoided the current controversy. While concerns about bots and exploitation are valid, the existing restrictions likely haven't deterred determined players.
The upcoming trading rework is crucial. A well-implemented digital trading system could significantly enhance Pokémon TCG Pocket's appeal as a viable alternative to the physical card game.
