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. Once players got their hands on the feature, some limitations and restrictions on who you can trade with and what cards are eligible for trading became apparent, leading to a less-than-ideal experience.

If you've been vocal about your concerns, you'll be pleased to know that the developers of TCG Pocket are taking notice. They've issued a statement explaining that the trading mechanics were designed to safeguard against bots and other prohibited actions. However, don't expect immediate changes; the statement is more of a reassurance than a promise of quick fixes. The only confirmed adjustment so far is the introduction of new ways to acquire trading currency, which will be available through various events, including the upcoming ex Drop Event.

Stating Your Case

While it's a step in the right direction, the lack of more definitive action might leave many fans disappointed. Trading is a fundamental aspect of the physical Pokémon TCG, and replicating it digitally presents unique challenges. Most of us were hoping for a smoother implementation right from the start.

Nevertheless, it's encouraging to see the developers listening to the community. With the new ex Drop Event featuring Cresselia now underway, you can participate with confidence, knowing that the team is working on improving the trading system.
