Pokémon TCG Pocket gets statement on trading feature ahead of new ex Drop Event

For fans of Pokémon TCG Pocket, the eagerly awaited trading feature has been a mixed bag. While initially welcomed, some flaws have emerged, particularly around the restrictions on who you can trade with and what cards are eligible for trading. This has led to a less-than-ideal experience for many players.

The good news is that the developers have acknowledged the community's feedback. In a recent statement, they explained that the trading mechanics were designed to safeguard against bots and other prohibited activities. Although immediate changes aren't on the horizon, they've announced plans to enhance ways to acquire trading currency. This currency, pivotal to the trading system, will now be obtainable through various methods, including event distribution.

While these adjustments may not fully address all concerns, it's encouraging to see the developers are responsive to player feedback. The current statement is a step in the right direction, although many fans were hoping for a more refined trading system from the start, given the significance of trading in the physical Pokémon TCG and the complexities of adapting it for digital platforms.

With the new ex Drop Event featuring Cresselia underway, players can feel more confident about participating. This event offers a fresh opportunity to engage with the game, even if you've been hesitant about the trading feature.
