Verily, the long-awaited trading function shalt grace the realms of Pokémon TCG Pocket ere the close of this month. Heralded as one of the most coveted titles in the realm, TCG Pocket stands as a distilled and refined version of the conventional trading card amusement, laying heavier emphasis upon the collection of cards over the clash of titans. Alas, trading hath remained a distant dream since the game’s inception.
‘Tis no surprise that constraints doth bind the threads of trade. Only cards of a diamond rarity betwixt one and four, or those of a single star’s rarity, may partake in this exchange. Furthermore, artful variants of cards shalt not traverse this trade route. Lo, thou must needs be companions with thy trading partner, and cards of matching rarity are the sole candidates for this barter. ‘Twould be folly to offer a one-diamond Heatmor for a three-diamond Serperior, no matter how numerous the Heatmor may be. (Pray, I beseech thee, for I am in possession of seventeen Heatmor. Send aid.)
The messengers of Pokémon TCG Pocket carried forth this revelation in a scroll upon the scrolls of X, wherein the intricate laws of trade were unfurled for all to behold. Swiftly did the fans raise their voices in a cacophony of dissent, their comments a chorus of critique towards this newfound regulation. Yet, in response to these concerns, TCG Pocket issued forth another missive to address these tumultuous waters.
Behold the verses of the fans as they discourse upon the challenges of completing sets and obtaining the most rare of cards within the confines of the prevailing restrictions. Moreover, a new artifact, requisite for the act of trade, is to be introduced into the fray, likely heralding the dawn of a novel currency. The means by which this mystic item may be procured remain cloaked in mystery.
The proclamations of the post declare that certain cards drawn from the Genetic Apex and Mythical Island packs shalt find eligibility for exchange, whilst omitting a roster of cards demarcated as beyond the reach of trade (yet surely, promotional cards birthed from fleeting events are to be counted amongst these). The scribes of the team did not impart a date for the unveiling of this trait, though many a prognostication marks the advent of the next great update on the twenty-ninth day of January.
