Pokémon TCG Pocket’s highly anticipated trading feature has finally arrived, launching alongside the exciting new Space-Time Smackdown expansion! This update brings a significant addition to the game, allowing players to trade cards with friends, mirroring the real-world experience. While the trading system introduces some limitations, such as restrictions on tradeable rarities (1-4 and 1-star cards) and the requirement of trade hourglasses and tokens, it's still a major step forward.
The Space-Time Smackdown expansion adds even more excitement, introducing iconic Legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia to TCG Pocket. Sinnoh region starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup also make their debut, along with many other new cards!

The reception to the new trading feature, however, has been somewhat mixed. While the addition of trading is a positive development, the numerous caveats and resource requirements have been met with criticism. Many players feel the game would have benefited from either a completely free trading system or no trading feature at all. Developers are reportedly monitoring player feedback and may implement changes in the future.
