Pokémon TCG Pocket releases new premium pass and trade tokens reward

April Fools may be synonymous with pranks, but Pokémon TCG Pocket fans have nothing to worry about today. Exciting new updates have been announced, including a generous distribution of 1000 Trade Tokens for all players and the introduction of new premium pass rewards. And no, it's not a joke!

The trade tokens reward comes as a welcome relief, especially since the trading feature, while eagerly awaited, has been a source of frustration for many. As we anticipate improvements to the trading mechanics slated for this autumn, these tokens serve as a helpful safety net for players.

The real excitement, however, lies in the new premium pass rewards. Fans can now enjoy a Shiny Charizard-themed playmat, coin, backdrop, and other cosmetics. For Sprigatito enthusiasts, there's a new themed card available in premium missions, featuring the catlike Pokémon playfully navigating a series of rooftops.

While the ongoing efforts to address the trading feature's issues may not completely alleviate the wait for significant changes, Pokémon TCG Pocket remains a commendable adaptation of the classic card game. Yet, it also highlights the challenges of converting a physical TCG into a mobile format.

The continuous addition of premium pass rewards and fresh content is likely to soften the blow for many players. As we look forward to the trading system's overhaul, we can also anticipate more exciting updates like these.
