Pokémon TCG Pocket butters up players with free trade tokens as they work on improving feature

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

As a temporary measure, all players will receive 1000 Trade Tokens via the in-game Gifts menu. Trade Tokens are a currency needed for card trading. The developers previously announced plans to simplify trading and currency acquisition. Many players criticized the initial system's limitations, such as rarity restrictions 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 simpler solutions. While botting and exploitation are concerns, the existing restrictions likely posed minimal challenges to determined players.

Hopefully, the upcoming 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.
