"Pokémon TCG Pocket Adds Trading Feature and New Expansion This Month"

If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of the upcoming trading feature for Pokémon TCG Pocket, your wait is almost over. The highly anticipated trading feature is set to launch on January 29th, and it's coming just in time for a brand-new expansion called Space-Time Smackdown, which will be released the very next day on January 30th.

Trading in Pokémon TCG Pocket is designed to mimic the experience of trading physical cards with friends. You'll be able to exchange certain rarities of cards, but you'll need to use trade hourglasses and trade tokens to do so. This feature adds an authentic touch to the digital card collecting experience, making it even more engaging for fans.

The Space-Time Smackdown expansion is aptly named and will introduce fan-favorite Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. This expansion includes two new digital booster packs featuring iconic legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. If legendary Pokémon aren't your thing, you'll still find plenty to love, including other favorites like Lucario and the starting trio of Sinnoh region Pokémon: Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. These cards will be available through the Wonder Pick feature as well as traditional booster packs.

This update is poised to be a hit, especially with the addition of long-awaited Pokémon to the roster. However, there have been some murmurs of concern about how the trading feature will work. Here's hoping that the developers' promise of continual tweaks will ensure a smooth rollout.
