    I recently put in a Lucario/ Riolu trade in the Trade Corner, and it was moved. It now links to the quick trade thread. I dont get this. So if I wanted to do a trade (say Sudowoodo for Tropius) would I put it in the Quick Trades thread (which is like 400 pages long) and if so, do people actually read it?

    Also, if I wanted to do a giveaway of Pokemon, say free Squirtles, then would I make a new thread or use the Quick Trade thread? Does the quick trade thread ever get renewed (re made) due to clutter and stuff?

    Sorry if this confuses you,
    Jai

  • When you're only doing one trade, it goes in the quick trade thread. Otherwise the entire forum would get ridiculously cluttered with "i'll trade u a palkia for dialga kk?" threads and it would be really hard to sift past the one-time traders. So if you're just trying to get one item or Pokemon, it's easier to keep it in one thread. As far as I know, it's checked so you don't have to worry about being overlooked. I'm not sure how often (if at all) it's restarted though.

    If you were doing a giveaway or planning to have more up for trade than just a one-time thing, that's when a standalone thread would be acceptable.
