Pokémon TCG Pocket's recently launched trading feature, while highly anticipated, has received mixed reactions. Initial player feedback revealed some flaws in the system, particularly concerning its restrictions on trading partners and eligible cards. These limitations, implemented to combat bots and other prohibited activities, have unfortunately impacted the overall player experience.
While significant changes aren't immediately forthcoming, developers have acknowledged player concerns and announced minor adjustments. These will primarily focus on expanding the ways to acquire trading currency, a key component of the trading mechanic. Future events will offer more opportunities to obtain this currency.

Many players remain disappointed by the lack of more substantial immediate changes to address the core trading issues. The complexities of replicating the physical TCG's trading experience digitally are acknowledged, and a more refined implementation was hoped for initially.
However, the developers' responsiveness is a positive sign. The ongoing Cresselia ex Drop Event provides a fresh opportunity for players to engage with the game, even with the current trading limitations.
For those seeking to improve their Pokémon TCG Pocket gameplay, a range of helpful guides and resources are available, including a guide to top starting decks for new players.
