Pokémon TCG Pocket launches its hotly-anticipated trading feature and Space-Time Smackdown

Pokémon TCG Pocket's trading feature has finally arrived, alongside the Space-Time Smackdown expansion! While the trading function is a significant addition, allowing players to exchange cards with friends, it's faced a somewhat mixed reception due to limitations on tradable cards and the required resources (trade hourglasses and tokens).

The new expansion, however, is a welcome addition, introducing legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia, alongside Sinnoh starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup, and much more!

The initial reaction to the trading feature has been less than enthusiastic. Many players feel the restrictions on trading, requiring specific rarities and resources, detract from the experience. Some argue that a more open, unrestricted trading system would have been preferable. However, developers are reportedly monitoring player feedback and may implement changes in the future.

For those returning to the game, or those looking to start fresh, a guide to the best starting decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket is readily available. The Space-Time Smackdown expansion provides plenty of new content to explore, regardless of the trading feature's current limitations.
