Any in-game currency you may have in PTCGO won't transfer either, so be sure to spend it on cards while you still can.The Pokémon Company has announced Pokémon TCG Live. Unopened items also won't transfer over to the new game, but The Pokemon Company will offer in-game currency for the unopened items that don't make the jump to Pokemon TCG Live. Products that won't transfer over to Pokemon TCG Live at all include all cards from the HeartGold & SoulSilver series, which is basically a death sentence for the Pokemon TCG Online-exclusive Legacy format. ![]() "Additional copies beyond these limits will not be transferred." In addition, The Pokemon Company says that "many coins, card sleeves, and deck boxes" will transfer, but only at one copy per item. "Players will be able to transfer up to four copies of a unique Pokémon TCG card, one copy of an ACE SPEC or Prism Star card, one copy of each part of a Pokémon V-UNION card, and 59 copies of a basic Energy card," The Pokemon Company wrote in its FAQ. Players will also be limited in how many copies of their cards they can transfer over. That suggests Expanded format play won't be available in Pokemon TCG Live until sometime after the app launches. The option to transfer cards from earlier sets, namely the other Sun & Moon expansions, the XY series, and the Black & White series, will go live at some later point. That FAQ tells us that while many sets will transfer over, only cards from the Sword & Shield series and select sets from the Sun & Moon series ( Lost Thunder through Cosmic Eclipse) will be transferrable at launch. Unfortunately, Pokemon TCG Live seems to be doing away with that, as a brief support article on the Pokemon website plainly states, "Players will not be able to trade cards with other players within Pokémon TCG Live." The decision to remove trading from Pokemon TCG Live is a head-scratcher for sure, and one that we can only hope The Pokemon Company reverses before launch.Īnother thing that might not sit well with current Pokemon TCG Online players is the fact that only portions of their digital card collections will transfer over to the Pokemon TCG Live app. In Pokemon TCG Online, players can trade single cards, unopened booster packs, and even accessories like digital card sleeves, deck boxes, and coins. This is an excellent time to remind readers that the "TCG" in "Pokemon TCG" stands for "Trading Card Game." The Pokemon Company has put together an FAQ regarding the transition to Pokemon TCG Live, and it's there we learn that trading won't be allowed in the new app. The keyword there is "should," because the new Pokemon TCG Live app includes some bizarre restrictions and changes that aren't likely to sit well with many in PTCGO's existing community. ![]()
