TCG Pocket Official Update

For people that have been playing since launch, this is almost pointless without 2 stars right??

I imagine most people are at a point where it mainly the 2 stars and crowns they need to complete their sets.

“Trades can be done with cards of the same rarity.” I get it, but I also don’t get it. Why not just expand it so that we can trade all rarity then? We’d still be giving up the same rarity. Lol.

Seems fair enough, depending on how much consumables it’s going to cost. Also gives them the wiggle room to run special trade events for the 2 star and above if they want to.

Ok at least I can trade my 7 full art Digletts

So no trading for full art trainers?

Trash system.

unfortunate but kind of expected. looks like i will have 3 crown mews forever

Items needing to be consumed aside, this is about as I was expecting really

With all of those limitations why no 2 ⭐ too? Moving a card to a bot account will still keep the same amount of rarities in each one (if those are the issues) with people using bots with discord communities with wonder picks the amount of 2 ⭐ are increasing in the people accounts, and encouraging to delete all friends, and this isn’t bad?? Really? The bulk (diamond cards) are easy to obtain as free to play, what is the point of putting some money if you can’t trade? Is a TCG! People care about the rarest not bulk.
It is great for FTP but still…

A new currency uh ? Disappointing but expected

Only between friends is also disappointing, a wonder trade like mechanic for this would have been great.

Hopefully 2 stars cards and above will come in the future for very old set.

goodbye to my dreams of collecting all of the 2 star gym leader cards

So there’s going to be an item we need to trade AND it’s restricted?

Not great.

I understand not being able to trade 3 star and crown rare but man I was really hoping to trade some 2 stars

I think it’s reasonable enough to actually force the player to pull packs/do wonder picks to get the really rare cards and you can at least get all the relevant cards to create the decks that you want to use. I’m happy with this as long as the ‘items’ aren’t too hard to obtain

Tbh I didn’t even think you’d be even able to trade EX cards

I’m more annoyed about the fact that there’s still no release date!!

Basically will only be allowed to trade for cards we already have, and I’m ftp.

If it remained like that I’d lose interest, I imagine many others would too.

I’ve spent money on this game, but this kind of kills it for me. I have dupes of high rarity cards I can never use, and now the only thing to do with them is break them down for special shop points?

I realize that’s a whale problem, but I would have loved to trade one of my 8 (eight!) Leaf’s for a second Blue/Blaine/Erika as I want to have two of each.

If they have same rarity for same rarity trades, I don’t get why 2* and above can’t be tradeable. This just makes getting duplicates of 2*and above more infuriating. As a f2p player I’m really lucky to get two crown Pikachus but 2nd one is pointless.

This is kinda what I expected. I’m mostly surprised at how you can’t trade with randos (though it’s only implied you can’t as of now afaik) and how it doesn’t mention needing 2 of a card to trade.

As long as I can trade to get cards I need for my deck, I’m okay.

But needing a consumable item… Really.

friends only is annoying, I was hoping there would be a system for coordinating trades in-game instead of having to go through Discord

Even as a F2p this still mostly sucks, I’m gonna use it for the 3 cards I need from mythical island and then not touch trading until I’m mostly done with whatever comes next.

I understand the frustration with not being able to trade 2-star cards, but since many digital TCGs don’t allow trading at all, I’m okay with the current limitations. It’s possible they’ll raise the 1-star cap in a future update—who knows? While this system might not work for every type of player, for those like me who just want access to most cards to build and experiment with decks, it does make things a bit easier.
