Pokémon TCG Pocket's Trading Feature Launches, Alongside Space-Time Smackdown Expansion
Pokémon TCG Pocket players have a double reason to celebrate as January ends. The long-awaited trading feature has finally arrived, launching alongside the exciting new Space-Time Smackdown expansion!
The trading system allows players to exchange cards with friends, mirroring the real-life experience. However, there are limitations. Only certain card rarities (1-4 and 1-star) are currently tradeable, and trading requires resources like trade hourglasses and tokens. Despite these restrictions, it's a significant addition to the game.

Initial player reaction to the trading feature has been mixed, with some expressing disappointment. While the feature itself is a welcome addition, the numerous restrictions and resource requirements have been criticized. Some argue that a more accessible, less restrictive trading system would have been preferable.
Developers are reportedly monitoring player feedback, suggesting potential future adjustments to the trading mechanics.
