Yeah I really haven't had the desire to get a system the last couple years. I pretty much said forget the Wii cause I hated the controllers(even though you could use Gamecube ones). I will probably get a Wii U when they are released though.
I'd image they would release the next Main Series pokemon game on 3DS. I don't really see why they would continue to use an at this point outdated system. They were already using 3D effects as early as Platinum with the Distortion World, so I would think they would want to build upon what they already did and use the 3DS to do that.
And no problem about the reports, whatever I can do to help. Also have you and Aurafire thought of branching Trader Corner into a main forum and a subforum. Maybe have a forum for just shops(include an index for helpful browsing), and then have the regular forum house topics that used to be in Quick Trade Thread. Or have a subforum for Giveaways and maybe services like Trade Backs, Rare Candying, EV Training, Breeding Eggs, or whatever else could be considered under a service that is allowed here. I think at least one of those avenues would reduce clutter, and it would seem you have more room to expand since you are now long attached to Competitive Battling Forum.
