Let's get this started everyone! :)
Day 1: When did you start trading? How did you end up getting into it? I started trading in Gen 4, with the new GTS feature that was added. I didn't really get into it before X&Y however, I found this website and after a few months I was super active and opened a shop

I started trading probably last year when i was acquired my first 3ds and Pokemon X. i started with Wonder Trade and gosh, i love it so much. it helped me to complete my dex even faster up until i finished the dex and got a bunch of zigs. first time i traded here was from jagold's 6IV JPN Ditto giveaway. from then i quite did a lot of trading here and it's really fun and i love the trading forum.

Day 1: I started trading in April/May 2016 when I first got my 2DS. It was in Pokemon Y and I remembered that my first real Trade is in Wonder Trade. Months later, I found out about this cool site, GameFAQs, I found many friends there and Months passed again and I found PokeCommunity, I remembered that Soapyyy guided and and was my first trade here.

Alex July 7th, 2017 9:44 AM

Yo what's up

When did you start trading? How did you end up getting into it?
I suppose I got into it in gen 4 when GTS was implemented. I don't trade very often tbh, but trading was essential in my ability to complete my HGSS national Dex, and Sun/Moon Dex. I mostly trade with my friends.

Radiating July 7th, 2017 9:50 AM

Cool

Day 1: When did you start trading? How did you end up getting into it?

I only really started trading with other people when I joined PC. I never really had thought about going on the internet to trade Pokemon until I visited the Trade Corner here. I went in looking for a shiny Serperior.

Day 1: When did you start trading? How did you end up getting into it? - I technically started with Gen 4 when wifi trading became a thing. Then I really got into it with new stuff like Wondertrade later on. I started again recently after playing Oras (to complete the national dex) and then with Sun sometime after. Now I try trading here whenever possible.

1. When did you start trading? How did you end up getting into it?
I started trading about a year after Black 2/White 2 were released. Of course, I had no idea what the GTS was, so I stuck to local trades with my friends, the idiots I hung out with back in 2013. I loved the satisfaction of a. Adding a new pokèmon to my collection and b. Seeing the differences, in OT, base stats, moves, and ID. It was all fascinating, and still is to this day.

Day 1: When did you start trading? How did you end up getting into it?

Well, I used to trade way back in the RBY days of the 90s in order to get specific Pokemon. In modern times, I started playing Pokemon again in 2010 and I eventually desired a Staraptor, however I did not own Gen 4 games. So I googled "official Pokemon forums" and PC was the first link. I immediately joined, posted in the quick trade thread of the time, and someone instantly replied and traded me a lv100 trained Staraptor. I was hooked! After trading for a few months, I started to learn how to RNG abuse. I specifically focused on RNG abusing Dream World Pokemon, something not many people could / wanted to do.

Day 1: When did you start trading? How did you end up getting into it?

Like Radiating, I pretty much only started trading after I got here. It was helpful to me as a Pokémon breeder, and some of my own eggs found good homes too!

That's part of the reason why I stick around here :)

Day 1: When did you start trading? How did you end up getting into it?
I first started when I joined the forum looking to get a Vulpix in X. Since then, I've become a breeder and love trading and helping people out on the PC Discord server!

overdrive003 July 8th, 2017 1:14 AM

Day 2: Most recent Pokémon you traded? What did you get in exchange?

Day 2: Most recent Pokémon you traded? What did you get in exchange?

The most most recent trade was during wondertrade. I was trading a bunch of mons leftover from trying to get shinies. Didn't get much but one of them was a Larvitar in a Safari Ball so that was good.

Day 1: When did you start trading? How did you end up getting into it?
I started trading about a year ago, when I bought my 3DS and X.

Day 2: Most recent Pokémon you traded? What did you get in exchange?
Depending if we count GTS or not - lately I have been doing a lots of trades over GTS to acquire some rare ball mons. So, in my last trade I got Hawlucha for male Houndoom.

Spyro July 9th, 2017 2:18 AM

Day 3: What's your favourite Pokémon? Have you ever traded for it? Leafeon - I've traded to acquire events Leafeon, and a Friend Ball Eevee to breed myself a Shiny and make it evolve

UberRoimel July 9th, 2017 3:07 AM

Day 3: What's your favourite Pokémon? Have you ever traded for it? Zorua, I've never got a Normal or Shiny Zorua in my life. I only want my OT if shiny and I could easily catch one if non-shiny

sater10 July 9th, 2017 4:33 AM

Day 3: What's your favourite Pokémon? Have you ever traded for it?
i like several Pokemon, and Shiny in general. i like Lucario/Riolu the most. i breed its shiny both on 6 and 7 gen. i would never trade it with anything. basically i will not trade my own shiny with random person. i will only trade it with someone i trust enough to take care of them.

overdrive003 July 9th, 2017 10:00 AM

Day 3: What's your favourite Pokémon? Have you ever traded for it?
My favorite? Hmm...I have way too many! My current favorite is Kanto Ninetails. I did end up getting one off the GTS back in Omega Ruby, since I wanted one on my team before I beat the game.

Radiating July 9th, 2017 10:50 AM

Day 3: What's your favourite Pokémon? Have you ever traded for it?

My favorite Pokemon would have to be Serperior. I originally came here in search of a shiny one, now I have three!
