Pokémon TCG Pocket's Trading Feature Launches, Met with Mixed Reception; New Expansion Arrives!
January's end brings a double dose of news for Pokémon TCG Pocket enthusiasts: the much-anticipated trading feature is finally here, alongside the exciting Space-Time Smackdown expansion!
The trading system, while a welcome addition, allows players to exchange cards with friends, mirroring real-life trading. However, limitations exist. Only certain card rarities (1-4 and 1-star) are tradeable, and resources like trade hourglasses and tokens are required. Despite these restrictions, it's a significant update.
Space-Time Smackdown introduces legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia, Sinnoh starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup, and much more!

The trading feature's launch hasn't been universally praised; initial player feedback has been less than enthusiastic. While the feature itself is well-implemented, the numerous restrictions are a significant drawback. A more open, resource-free trading system might have been preferable. Developers are reportedly monitoring player response, suggesting potential future adjustments.
