Today, TCPi revealed that, along with Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket<\/em>\u2019s next set of cards, the game\u2019s trading feature is set to launch later this month. TCPi didn\u2019t specify an exact date in its statement about the update, but it did explain that trading will involve some restrictions and costs. In order to swap cards, people will first have to be friends with one another in the game. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n In order to swap cards, people will first have to be friends with one another in the game. Trades can only occur if players are offering up cards with the same rarity, meaning that you won\u2019t be able to trade powerful EX cards for more common ones that are easier to pull. Additionally, TCPi trading is limited to cards that have rarities of 1-4 diamonds or a single star full-art cards, and TCPi noted that \u201citems must be consumed in order to trade.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s not clear which particular items players will need for trades, but it feels likely that the process will involve spending Pok\u00e9 gold, one of Pocket<\/em>\u2019s multiple in-game currencies<\/a> that can be purchased in exchange for real money. The item requirement sounds like logical (but not exactly welcome) way for Pocket<\/em> to generate even more revenue given how easy it is to accumulate certain duplicates from every set. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
