Pokémon TCG Pocket is about to make comprehensive changes to its most controversial features.

After players strongly oppose it, a key mechanism of the game will usher in a comprehensive change.The in-game trading feature allows players to exchange cards with each other, which will abandon the controversial in-game currency in favor of a new system that uses another currency that players have been collecting since the beginning of the game.

A blog post on the official Pokémon forum said that when the update is launched, trading tokens - a controversial currency that was used to trade cards, will be completely removed from the game.

The article reads: "Instead, now trading cards with three-star, four-star and one-star rarity will require Shining Dust." Shining Dust is a currency that players have been earning since the game was launched and is currently used to obtain special decorations on the cards.

When the update is launched, the trading tokens currently owned by the player will be exchanged for Shining Dust.Although the specific date for the transaction change has not been announced, Pokémon claims that the change will be implemented “before the end of fall 2025.”

The blog post also announced that a feature will be introduced in the game at a certain point in time to allow players to "share cards you are interested in trading", but no specific time frame is given.

According to this blog post, promotional cards and two-star rarity cards that are currently untradable may become tradable in the future.

Pokémon said it has no plans to include Pokémon TCG Pocket in the ranks of Pokémon competitive games.

"We've been paying attention to different game productions," said Chris Brown, global director of e-sports at Pokémon in an interview.

Brown smiled and said, "Pokemon: Sleep is also under consideration." Last April, Pokemon released a spoof trailer for "Pokemon: Sleep Championship" to celebrate April Fool's Day.

"But there is no plan to join Pokémon TCG Pocket at present, but we have been paying attention to the situation."
