As January draws to a close and the new year unfolds, fans of Pokémon TCG Pocket have a double reason to celebrate. The much-anticipated trading feature has finally launched, and it's accompanied by the exciting new expansion, Space-Time Smackdown!
Let's dive into the trading feature first. It's designed to mimic real-life card trading, allowing you to exchange cards with friends. However, there are some limitations to keep in mind. Only cards of certain rarities (1-4 and 1-star) can be traded, and you'll need resources like trade hourglasses and trade tokens to make these exchanges. Despite these restrictions, it's a significant addition to the game.
But that's not all! Alongside the trading feature, the Space-Time Smackdown expansion has debuted, bringing iconic legendary Pokémon like Dialga and Palkia into Pokémon TCG Pocket. You'll also find the Sinnoh region starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup, along with a host of other exciting additions.

However, the trading feature hasn't been universally welcomed. Some players have expressed dissatisfaction, citing the numerous caveats as a major issue. I share the sentiment that while the feature is a welcome addition, the restrictions might be too stringent. Ideally, Pokémon TCG Pocket could have either omitted trading entirely or made it more accessible without the need for resources or limitations on tradable cards. There's hope, though, as the developers are reportedly monitoring feedback and may introduce changes soon.
