Pokémon TCG Rewards Players with Free Trade Tokens for Enhanced Trading

Pokémon TCG Pocket's trading feature launch has been less than stellar, despite high player demand. This has led developers to announce a rework of the trading system.

As a temporary measure, players will receive 1,000 Trade Tokens via the in-game Gifts menu. Trade Tokens are an in-game currency necessary for card trading. The developers previously announced plans to simplify trading and currency acquisition. Many players criticized the initial trading restrictions, such as rarity limitations and the currency requirement.

Reworking the Trading System

To avoid the current issues, a more open trading system or the removal of trading altogether would have been preferable. While botting and exploitation are valid concerns, the existing currency and rarity restrictions likely wouldn't deter determined players.

Hopefully, the trading rework will address these concerns. A well-implemented digital trading system could significantly enhance Pokémon TCG Pocket's appeal as a viable alternative to the physical card game.
