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-world trading.
A key limitation is that trades are restricted to cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) and only between friends. Furthermore, traded cards are consumed; you won't retain a copy after the trade.
A Balanced Approach to Digital Trading
While some limitations exist, this implementation is a thoughtful approach to incorporating trading into a digital TCG. The developers' commitment to post-launch assessment and adjustments is reassuring.
Uncertainties remain regarding specific rarity tiers eligible for trading and the potential use of consumable currency. These details should be clarified upon the system's release.
