For fans eagerly awaiting the trading feature in Pokémon TCG Pocket, the excitement was palpable. However, upon its release, players discovered some limitations in the system, including restrictions on who you can trade with and what cards are eligible for trade. These issues have sparked discussions among the community.
The developers have responded to the feedback, acknowledging that the trading mechanics were designed with the intent to safeguard against bots and other prohibited activities. They've assured the community that they are taking the concerns seriously. While immediate sweeping changes aren't on the horizon, there is a concrete plan to introduce new ways to acquire trading currency. This currency, essential for the trading mechanic, will now be obtainable through various methods, including event distributions.
While some may feel that the response doesn't fully address the core issues with trading, it's a step in the right direction. The importance of trading in the physical Pokémon TCG is undeniable, and translating this to a digital platform presents unique challenges. Many were hoping for a more polished system from the start, but it's encouraging to see the developers are open to feedback and willing to make adjustments.
