Pokémon TCG Pocket's trading feature launch has been underwhelming, despite high player demand. To address player concerns and a planned rework of the trading system, developers are distributing 1000 Trade Tokens to all players via the in-game Gifts menu. Trade Tokens are an in-game currency previously required for card trading.
The initial trading system faced criticism for its restrictions, including rarity limitations and the mandatory use of Trade Tokens. Many felt these restrictions were unnecessary and hampered the trading experience.
Reworking the Trading System
A simpler, more open trading system, or the complete absence of trading, would have likely avoided the current controversy. While concerns about botting and exploitation are valid, stricter limitations likely wouldn't have deterred determined players. The upcoming rework hopefully addresses these issues, potentially making the digital TCG a stronger competitor to its physical counterpart.
