Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has announced plans to introduce new booster packs by the end of the year and a highly anticipated trading feature in January 2025. The mobile app, which has already surpassed Pokémon Go in revenue, will also host various in-game events to enhance player experience. Additional features are in development, with more details to be revealed as release dates approach.
The trading feature in Pokemon TCG Pocket, announced during the game's initial reveal, is still pending release with no official date provided. The feature, currently marked as "coming soon" in the app, was showcased in the announcement trailer, suggesting both local and long-distance trading. It may draw inspiration from Pokemon Go's trading system, which includes various limitations. The delay could be due to potential impacts on the in-game economy or the need for more card variety. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
In Pokémon TCG Pocket, going first is disadvantageous as players skip the initial energy draw, leaving them unable to engage effectively in battles. This imbalance has become a meme within the community, especially highlighted during the game's first PvP event. While other card games have mechanisms to balance turn order advantages, TCG Pocket's current setup heavily favors the second player, leading to calls for better balance adjustments.
