Pokémon TCG Pocket gets statement on trading feature ahead of new ex Drop Event

For fans eagerly awaiting the trading feature in Pokémon TCG Pocket, the initial reception has been a mix of excitement and concern. While the feature was warmly welcomed, some players have pointed out flaws in the system, particularly the stringent restrictions on who you can trade with and what cards are eligible for trading.

In response to the community's feedback, the developers of Pokémon TCG Pocket have acknowledged the issues. They've released a statement explaining that the trading mechanics were designed to safeguard against bots and other prohibited activities. However, while this is reassuring, it's clear that many players were hoping for more immediate and comprehensive changes to the trading system.

Currently, the only confirmed adjustment to the trading feature involves new methods for acquiring trading currency. This currency, a vital component of the trading mechanic, will now be obtainable through various means, including event distributions. While this isn't the overhaul some were hoping for, it's a step in the right direction.

Stating your caseIt's understandable that many of you might feel let down by the lack of more substantial changes to the trading system. Trading cards are a cornerstone of the physical TCG experience, and translating this to a digital platform presents unique challenges. Ideally, we would have seen a more polished implementation from the start.

Nevertheless, it's encouraging to see that the developers are paying attention to player feedback. With the new ex Drop Event featuring Cresselia now underway, you can dive into this latest event with confidence, knowing that the team is working on improvements.
