Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket (god, they really do come up with some long names for these things, don't they) is coming at some point this year. But while a fascinating amount of time in the announcement was devoted to the sheer tactile act of tearing packets open, there's also an actual game in there as well, a seemingly sleek and snappy interpretation of the classic schoolyard argument-generating experience.
But both of those elements can be found in various games already, whether they fly under the Pokemon flag or not. There's actually something else in the game that threatens to be far more revolutionary, something so obvious it's in the actual title: trading.
