Pokémon TCG Pocket is adding a highly anticipated trading system! This new feature, launching later this month, lets players exchange cards with friends, mimicking real-life trading.
One of the biggest appeals of physical TCGs is the social aspect of trading. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to replicate this experience digitally. However, to maintain balance, the trading system will have some limitations.
Trading Rules:
- Friend-to-friend only: Trading is restricted to players who are friends in the game.
- Same rarity: Cards must share the same rarity (1-4 stars) to be traded.
- Consumable items: Cards are consumed upon trading; you won't retain a copy after the trade.
The developers plan to monitor the system's performance post-launch and make adjustments as needed. While some rarity tiers may be excluded from trading, and consumable currency might be involved, these details will be clarified upon release.
This implementation strikes a good balance between replicating the fun of trading and preventing potential imbalances. The developers' commitment to ongoing assessment and adjustments is reassuring.
