Overview
- The long-awaited trading feature in Pokémon TCG Pocket launched today, but it has been met with widespread criticism from players.
- Trading requires two in-game currencies—Trade Stamina and Trade Tokens—which are limited and costly to obtain, frustrating users.
- Players must destroy duplicate cards of specific rarities to earn Trade Tokens, but the exchange rates are widely regarded as unfair and inefficient.
- High-rarity cards and promo cards are excluded from trading, and trades can only occur between friends, with no in-game chat to coordinate exchanges.
- Fans have expressed disappointment, calling the system overly complex and predatory, with many threatening to cancel subscriptions or quit the game.
