April Fools may be the time for jokes, but fortunately for fans of Pokémon TCG Pocket, today's news is no laughing matter. The game has introduced a substantial reward of 1000 Trade Tokens for all players, and it's definitely not a prank!
The introduction of trade tokens isn't surprising, given the high anticipation and subsequent frustration surrounding the trading feature. While we eagerly await improvements to the trading mechanics set to arrive this autumn, these tokens serve as a helpful buffer for players.
However, the real excitement lies in the new premium pass rewards. Players can now enjoy a range of Shiny Charizard-themed cosmetics, including a playmat, coin, backdrop, and more. Additionally, fans of Sprigatito have something to look forward to with a new themed card available through premium missions, featuring the catlike Pokémon playfully navigating a series of rooftops.

While the ongoing efforts to address issues with the trading feature may not fully mitigate the wait for changes, Pokémon TCG Pocket continues to shine as a commendable adaptation of the original card game. Despite the challenges of translating a physical TCG to a mobile platform, the game's developers are actively working to enhance the player experience.
The continuous addition of premium pass rewards and fresh content helps to alleviate some of the frustrations players may have. As we anticipate fixes for the trading system, we can also look forward to more exciting updates like these.
