Pokémon TCG Pocket unveils premium pass and trade token rewards

April Fools may be the time for pranks, but rest assured, fans of Pokémon TCG Pocket, today's announcements are no laughing matter. In a generous move, the game is rolling out 1000 Trade Tokens for all players, alongside a new set of premium rewards for pass owners. And no, this isn't an April Fools' jest!

The introduction of the trade tokens isn't entirely unexpected. Trading has been a much-anticipated feature among players, yet its initial implementation left many feeling frustrated. As we look forward to improvements in the trading mechanics slated for this autumn, these tokens serve as a helpful buffer for the community.

The real excitement, however, lies in the new premium pass rewards. Fans can now enjoy a Shiny Charizard-themed playmat, coin, backdrop, and other dazzling cosmetics. Additionally, enthusiasts of Sprigatito will be thrilled to discover a new themed card available through premium missions, showcasing the charming catlike Pokémon playfully navigating a series of rooftops.

While the ongoing efforts to refine the trading feature may not fully alleviate the wait for improvements, Pokémon TCG Pocket has demonstrated its strengths as a commendable adaptation of the classic card game. However, it also highlights the challenges of bringing a physical TCG to the mobile platform.

The regular introduction of new premium pass rewards and additional content is helping to mitigate these issues for many players. As we eagerly await the promised trading fixes, we can anticipate more exciting additions to the game.
