    Perhaps promos will be in their own category and always tradable? Or count as part of the set current at the time they released?

    Limited availability cards are the ones people want to trade the most, along with high rarities, so it is bizarre that trading is being limited almost exclusively to cards people do not want to trade.

    It seems this board has become a trading forum. Maybe it needs to be its own forum now that the feature has gone live and buried all other discussion?

    The developers have responded to all of the negative feedback.

    Whether this was a genuine mistake, or an attempt to see if they could sneak through a more expensive trade system only to revert to the more reasonable one they always planned anyway in a "New Coke" marketing ploy, is by the by.

    There will be a new trade system coming. How reasonable it will be is yet to be seen, but it seems I was right to advise caution and tell everyone not to burn all their cards in the current system.

    Oh, I can't post the official statement without approval?

    Well, in case it never gets approved, they are changing the system. Hold on to your cards for the moment.

    Here his the TCG Pocket team response to players feedback about the trading feature:

    Since releasing the first iteration of the trading feature a few days ago, we have received a large number of comments. Thank you all for sharing your feedback.

    The item requirements and restrictions implemented for the trading feature were designed to prevent abuse from bots and other prohibited actions using multiple accounts. Our goal was to balance the game while maintaining a fair environment for all players and preserving the fun of collecting cards that is core to the Pokémon TCG Pocket experience.

    However, thanks to your feedback, we understand that some of the restrictions put in place are preventing players from being able to casually enjoy the feature as intended. We are actively investigating ways to improve the feature to address these concerns. Going forward, we also plan to offer multiple ways to obtain trade tokens including through event distributions.

    As always, thank you for being part of the Pokémon TCG Pocket community.
