Pokémon TCG Pocket butters up players with free trade tokens as they work on improving feature

• Pokémon TCG Pocket is set to give away 1000 Trade Tokens to all players
• It’s available via the in-game Gifts menu and comes as they attempt to rework Trading
• The hotly-requested feature has nevertheless proven to be extremely contentious

I think it’s safe to say that, despite being a hotly-requested feature, the launch of Pokémon TCG Pocket’s trading function has been somewhat lacklustre. Or at least that seems to be the opinion of players, prompting the folks behind TCG Pocket to begin looking at ways to rework trading.

Fortunately, in the meantime,

via the Gifts menu in the Pokémon TCG Pocket app to tide people over in the meantime. Trade Tokens were one of the currencies required by players to swap their cards.

You’ll remember that they already announced plans to make some alterations to trading and to make it easier to acquire the necessary trading currency. Many fans singled out the restrictions on trading, such as only being able to trade cards of a certain rarity and the need for a currency to do so, as key points of contention.

Trading places

I think I stand by my earlier assessment that, if the folks behind TCG Pocket wanted to avoid all this they only had two directions to go; either make trading as open as possible or not have it at all. Sadly they are right in suggesting that bots and other exploitations could be used, but at the same time for the kind of people who work to get around restrictions like that, I doubt that trading currency and the limitations on cards would’ve proven anything more than a minor inconvenience.

Still, here’s hoping that the rework of trading does go on to address many of these concerns because I think seeing trading done well in a digital TCG could really go a long way to making it a credible alternative to the physical TCG.

Speaking of which, if you’re looking to hop into Pokémon TCG Pocket but don’t know where to start why not take a look at our list of the best decks?
