I don’t want to friend every random person to increase my chances of a trade opportunity. Just let us auction off our cards and let people make offers.
Maybe it’s going to be added when the next power creep hits? I don’t follow the TCG that closely but I know they have GX and mega evolution pokemon. Maybe the trading system is being changed to adjust for the added cost of those?
I think GX, EX (uppercase), V, V-star, and maybe more are just the old equivalents of the current ex (lowercase) - a higher power tier for cards. I’m not sure about megas, whether those will replace ex or if they’re going to be a separate category. Guess we won’t know what will be implemented in Pocket for a while.
Right, I’m just guessing at why they’re waiting so long. It only really makes sense to me if they’re planning on other major changes/updates around the same time. Why else would you admit there’s a pain point in the game and not fix it sooner? It doesn’t seem like that major of an update on their end but who knows. Maybe it’s just a tactic to get people to buy more packs in the meantime instead of doing expensive trades.
If it was something that was going away or getting more expensive/harder I could understand giving a longer grace period for players to get it. This one is a head scratcher for me.
Good to know, also nice:
I just wish we could trade with non-friends.

It all sounds good, but why is it going to take them so long to implement? I’m not even sure I’ll still be playing this game next autumn.
