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 aspect – collecting, organizing, and the thrill of a good trade. Pokémon TCG Pocket aims to replicate this experience digitally.
Here's how the trading system will work:
- Friend-to-Friend Trading: Trading is limited to friends only.
- Rarity Matching: Only cards of the same rarity (1-4 stars) can be traded.
- Consumable Items: Traded cards are consumed; you won't retain a copy after a trade.
The developers plan to monitor the system's performance post-launch and make adjustments as needed.
Initial Observations:
While some limitations exist (certain rarity tiers may be excluded from trading, and consumable currency might be involved), this implementation is a solid first step. The developers' commitment to post-launch monitoring and adjustments is reassuring. Further details regarding rarity tier restrictions and consumable currency requirements will likely be clarified upon release.
