Pokémon TCG Pocket Trade System
The trading system in Pokémon TCG Pocket allows players to trade cards with friends, providing an alternative way to acquire cards besides packs and wonder picks. While some fans are pleased with this new feature, there are mixed reactions regarding how it has been implemented. Here’s a detailed guide on the trade system and whether it’s worth using.
Trade System Overview
The trade system is quite simple to use. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
- Choose a friend to trade with and send a trade offer.
- Select a card you wish to trade with your friend and make an offer. Wait for their response after sending the offer.
- Once a response is received, review the card they are offering and confirm the trade by pressing OK.
- Once both parties agree, the cards will be exchanged.
There are additional rules that must be adhered to for successful trades:
- Trade stamina is necessary for trades to occur, and it refills over time. Players can use items like Trade Hourglasses to expedite the process.
- Trades can only be conducted with cards of the same rarity. High-rarity cards require trade tokens to exchange.
- Trade Tokens can be acquired by possessing duplicates of a card. Look for the Obtain Items section in the game’s My Cards tab.
Is The Trade System Worth It?
While the Trade System is user-friendly, the inclusion of tokens and stamina has led to criticism, with some viewing it as a tactic to generate more revenue. Players had hoped for a simpler trading process where they could easily swap cards with a partner. Criticisms have been raised regarding the perceived greediness of the system, as some players feel it is unfair to have to spend money for trades to proceed smoothly. Additionally, fans have voiced concerns about the inclusion of “TCG” in the game’s title, as the trade system may not meet traditional expectations.
