“Certain cards” is almost definitely referring to “older” packs. Brand new packs will never be tradeable, otherwise people would just create new accounts for the freebies, crack packs and trade to their main. By delaying their tradeability until the release of the next set it eliminates some of that concern and also ensure people will still spend $$ to open new packs when they release
With the trading thing, the unfortunate reality is that players could have a main account and a second account Using the second account to pull for free until they get a rare card they want, then trade that card to their main account So the dilemma for the Pocket team is how can they enable trading whilst mitigating people trying to abuse the system in order to avoid the incentives to buy the in-game currency
My theory is you are only gonna be able to trade Diamond 4 or under cards. So people are able to easily build any deck they want, but if you want the cool looking cards that are 1/2/3 stars or crown, you have to gacha for them. Which sucks but makes sense for a nintendo gambling game
Could be this, but I can also see it being an Equivalent Exchange system where you can only trade cards of the same rarity with eachother, likely outright excluding the Crown cards, that way you can still trade for Star cards, but only ones of the same amount of stars. Would also heavily discourage the potential issue of people making dummy accounts to funnel rare cards to the main account with while still allowing the trading of higher-rarity cards. I think that, plus only Genetic Apex being tradable at the start since I think they'll add Trading alongside the next major Pack release in January, is how it'll work. Only time will tell.
If ya got the cards. Run the wheezing Arbok deck. It frustrates the heck out of the Mewtwo meta cause you can use Sabrina to swap in their Gardevoir and then lock it in with the Arbok where they can't switch out They usually scoop
I've found some success with a Weezing/Nidoking deck. Weezing walls until Nido gets built, then Koga scoops it up and Nidoking gets at least one KO on either Gardevoir or Mewtwo, then Weezing comes right back out and cleans up if needed.
@@ThallesManI’m expecting rarity must be same and have to have ‘tradable’ copies 3+. May also just straight up not allow trades for ‘common’ one and two diamond cards.
My expectations is you need at least 3 card and you need to trade with the same rarity, but after reading certain card my hope just go downhill i have like 30+ ☆/☆☆ Full art can be trade if following my expectation rule to complete my collection
bro complains about literally everything. just be happy that they are communicating the major requests for confirmation. Trading and next booster pack is mostly figured out on when they release
Tbh, I don't think we need a new set yet, even if it's mini. As f2p, I haven't even got all the exs from this current set. + There is nowhere near enough hourglasses to possess to open cards of a new set!
The new sets would almost certainly come with events that give hourglasses. Also a f2p player may never get all the ex cards naturally. You don't need them all, either. You could chase them forever on 2 packs a day. A new set will unlock more opportunities for cards to pull instead of just bricking on a specific card nonstop.
They can’t have the game be stale. It’s a good move for them to launch a mini set. We can’t be stuck with the same deck combos with 226 total cards they have currently
As a f2p and a vet when it comes to gatcha games, I wouldn't try to collect every ex card in the game. Its nearly impossible to do that through the gatcha system in a reasonable amount of time. Try waiting on Trading to come out, maybe it'll be a decent trade system. Also you have the crafting system too. People are already complaining about the current meta and card pool. Waiting several months to add new cards would be a bad idea for The game.
My guess is you won't be able to trade the newest set till X amount of days/weeks, and you will probably have a new currency like in PokemonGO. The card that trades might have to be equal rarity or something too.
Hard to imagine what cards will be allowed to be traded, and how they will regulate it. 1 Rare for 3 common? 1 Rare for 3 common plus Stardust? 1 Rare for 1 Rare only?
My expectations is you need at least 3 card and you need to trade with the same rarity, but after reading certain card my hope just go downhill i have like 30+ ☆/☆☆ Full art and 30+ ◇◇◇◇ Ex can be trade if following my expectation rule and i still missing somany full art and Ex to 😢
I bet a lot will be frustrated once they reveal the trading system. I bet it is based on their data. The cards that people have pulled the most will be available first and more will added based on that data :D
i bet they are going to always prevent trading the current sets so that people will spend money on them but the previous sets will probably be allowed.
It will be very interesting to see what and how they do trading. For example, maybe only 1-2 free trades a day and then like the base game youbhave to either wait to trade again or buy some kind of currency to keep trading. Also appreciate the content btw
I’m a little nervous as someone trying to catch all the Pokemon in each set since the pace of the packs will be every 6 weeks for 1-3 packs. Hopefully it’s made so that all you need to do is buy the membership, do wonder picks, all quests, and trading to earn all of them. As long as all I have to do is pay the monthly membership to be able to catch all of them, then I’ll be happy since the art rares aren’t necessary and make the game not too much pay to win
@Jeremy-bt8lo Collecting all the pokemon is no easy task and unless you're lucky with your packs/wonder picks it'd be hard. You'll get there eventually but you'll probably be behind in terms of meta
@@BeroNen I’m more of a collector than battler, so I won’t be using any pack points or wonder points on duplicates. Ive always wanted to collect all the Pokemon in some shape or form, but it’s always so expensive through like having to buy 10 games or Pokemon Go making it cost a lot of $ and decades what seems like a decade of work. I feel like this is my chance to catch all of them since I made it to the beginning of launch. Also I heard gen 2 Pokemon will be in the next set of packs in January, hope you get great pulls bro!
@Jeremy-bt8lo I agree Tcg may be your chance to get them all but still, the methods of obtaining hourglasses is so limited and after some point you run out of ways to get them except the daily 4 and leveling up, which takes ages sadly 😕 buuut I guess it's still some time till the new packs drop so at least you'll have the chance to get the current ones till then
Did they just say booster packs, thats insane. Even if there are two booster packs and the packs are similar to genetic apex and that just will be 12 new ex mons which will be insane. I was expecting 6 new ex cards. Also I am okay with trading if we could trade upto ex cards because thats enough to make a usable deck.
Very curious about trading , not the first time an online tcg tries this, and well its always exploitable. As a big tcg player ir, me and friends have ben talking, and we always seem to find a way to exploit any idea for trading online we came up with....
It would be cool if they make it so that the gold pass allows you to trade 1/2/3 star cards and crown cards, while everyone’s able to trade the initial 1/2/3/4 diamond cards. For now I think we’re not even gonna be able to trade any star or crown cards I think :(
should should get trading working sooner if they plan on doing only certain cards... i would assume maybe only 1-2 diamond cards can be traded so they can keep value to people to spend and chase for higher rarity. Down the road they will slowly increase to 3 diamond, 4... then 1-3 stars etc. Would be better than holding off till next year
I want the full format. It's the only thing that will make this app legit IMO. And no I don't want to go back to TCG Live. This is a chance to weed out the cancer cards and take it slow with expansions.
i think the way trading is going to work is every set they’ll include the previous one, but they avoid making the same cards that you can’t find in your wonder picks unobtainable from trading
Only thing I really dislike is the lapras event recharge thing, making you wait hours for another battle with very limited insta charges. The pull rates are broken 100% I cannot for the life of me pull butterfree but I have 13+ Pikachu and mankey, then there's people rocking about with 10 butterfree, 6 lapras and 0 Pikachu. That's some ridiculous odds that aren't making sense and you only have 1 card a pack with extremely limited time now. There shouldn't be a recharge
Yeah I mean think about it, they’re not gonna let you trade whenever or whatever you want. You’re likely gonna be able to trade commons and only a certain amount. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 1 per day
Anyone defending any limitation on trading is a bootlicker, if decaded players want to start alt accs to feed their main then let them, whales will whale, I dont see how this interrupts that
Pvp ruins the game for me. Every single time nothing but tails flips and terrible card pulls and every single battle your against mewtwo and gardevour pulled in first draw.
Got 3 crown Charizard (2 from back to back daily pack (1 each from pikachu and mewtwo pack)). Kinda want to trade for 2 Moltres EX. But also kinda don't.

This Is ridicolous people Will cheat feeding their Min account with secondary ones... What they can do Is 1 of more simultanously of these 3 things: Exchange 1 card for 1 card of same rarity Cards up to diamond 4/gold 1 can be traded You can only trade cards that you have more than 2 copies(as craft effect system)
The late game definitely needs more ways to get free booster packs per day. It's way too slow to keep people hooked😢

Yup thats what i did. I saved a lot of good pull accounts so I can trade it to my main account.
@@LLL-xf6ev my guess is at least 2 copies because that’s the max you can have in a deck
@typemasters2871 What I mean is you will need to have extra cards on top of the 2 copies you can put in your deck.
Agree there will be players with alt accounts feeding there main. No way to stop it

If ya got the cards. Run the wheezing Arbok deck. It frustrates the heck out of the Mewtwo meta cause you can use Sabrina to swap in their Gardevoir and then lock it in with the Arbok where they can't switch out
They usually scoop
Or run rapidash ninetails deck I win 4/5 against mewtwo decks
mewtwo is RNG. if you dont get set up you lose 9/10 games
I've been getting them with Blaine since the tempo is so much faster. Was satisfying at first but yeah, gets stale fast.
I've found some success with a Weezing/Nidoking deck. Weezing walls until Nido gets built, then Koga scoops it up and Nidoking gets at least one KO on either Gardevoir or Mewtwo, then Weezing comes right back out and cleans up if needed.
Can’t wait for trading
Raids like in Pokémon go with multi players playing against an insane deck.
For trades they'll probably do a combo of Pokemon Go. Where you can only trade x of commons. And one of rares or whatever
me with my two accounts...
Trading will be fun I honestly can't wait for the feature.
I'm glad we're finally getting some official news.
Glad you're updating the community man! Appreciate the quick content!
“Certain cards” well that’s not the greatest sign, hopefully the rollout is fast and all cards end up being tradeable at a point
Impossible to trade Mew, f.ex.
That said, I guess we'll be limited to only trade cards we have at least 3/4 copies, much like the cosmetic additions.

Bro casually drops 2 vids a day, guess I have my new TCG Pocket news TH-camr
Great news. Not super stoked that the roll-out of trading is gradual, but at least it is starting soon.
Probably only cards that are or were listed as blank in your dex are able to be traded, so no promos or special art cards.
excellent video as always
I'm new here, been binging on your PTCGP content for a while. keep up the great work!
This might be good too that people won't play it as investment and ebay resellers.....This will help real players to enjoy the game
Trade should be implemented now!
There is already no fun in getting cards!
I want to make a deck and battle
Tbh, I don't think we need a new set yet, even if it's mini. As f2p, I haven't even got all the exs from this current set. + There is nowhere near enough hourglasses to possess to open cards of a new set!

Sooo excited for trading and the new set. I’ve been saving my hourglasses
Nice its not too far away now, hopefully they do a good job implementing trading
Can you gibe us the link from the forum=?
This is the initial post from the Pokemon pocket account^
I hope they get ranked sooner than january, great content tho
It will be very interesting to see what and how they do trading. For example, maybe only 1-2 free trades a day and then like the base game youbhave to either wait to trade again or buy some kind of currency to keep trading. Also appreciate the content btw
Im addicted to this pokemon content
Maybe for the trading you will not be able to trade for star or crown rarity cards?
I always assumed trading would have been locked to rarity. Like 1 star for 1 star, 2 star for 2 star, but not 1 star for 2 star.
I had rerolled infinetely time yet i never saw a gold card

Respect for the content grind Gogo.
it'll prob only be based, it dont think they will let us trade promos because promo cards can be farmed.
They will only allow 1 - 3 diamond rarity cards for trade
Its definitely gonna be only rares for rares.
Hi I love the informative videos. Can you please leave chapters on the video so it would be easier to watch? Thanks 😊
Sure thing! I’ll work on that moving forward!
The plan about trading is really good
We need to have a way to get more packs.
Cant wait for trading tbh, gonna be great fun
No way Gogo is on this too 🙏

Lil worried about the wording there but trading in January is pretty awesome
lets goooo, finally got my 2 lapras EX before this
Is there a way for guaranteed lapras EX promo? I can't get any.
If I don’t pull at least one crown rare before the new set they can kiss my 9.99 a month goodbye 👋
This game is crack
Trade saddnes incoming
Awesome news
good stuff
This is so good
Is there a possibility trading will only be allowed for players with the premium pass?

i bet only promo cards will be tradeable lol
or in the best case nothing over 1 stars cards can be traded
I paused a movie cos of this🔥
how did you become an epic partner without making any content from epic games...

i hope what they mean by certain cards is maybe like 50 to 75 cards every month being added to trading.

wonder how it will impact the card economy
I've been opening mewtwo packs nonstop and I got the immersive mewtwo card :D
First?
Pvp ruins the game for me. Every single time nothing but tails flips and terrible card pulls and every single battle your against mewtwo and gardevour pulled in first draw.
Got 3 crown Charizard (2 from back to back daily pack (1 each from pikachu and mewtwo pack)). Kinda want to trade for 2 Moltres EX. But also kinda don't.
Please no new set for another 6 months at least
Biggest cash grab
If trading isn't eventually full scope (as in, I can trade ANY amount of ANY card for whatever I want) then I'm absolutely done with this app.
Pack points are way too stingy. Pull odds are not great. I'm not about it - the only reason I was holding off on uninstalling was because maybe I could trade my rare cards for other rare cards that I'm missing. But if they're going to cherry-pick what is tradeable & essentially FORCE people to spend more and more... no. Nope. Nuh uh.
This Is ridicolous people Will cheat feeding their Min account with secondary ones... What they can do Is 1 of more simultanously of these 3 things:
Exchange 1 card for 1 card of same rarity
Cards up to diamond 4/gold 1 can be traded
You can only trade cards that you have more than 2 copies(as craft effect system)
As soon as I saw certain cards I was wary. Let’s hope for the best I guess? 🫠
