Hi All

I just wanted to know the communities thoughts on my idea for a trade shop before I establish it. I mainly want to know whether or not it would be useful to any of you as well as any possible flaws in the idea.

Its probably not a new idea but I thought in the near future that I might start up a trade shop to help people fill up their pokedex. I would provide legit pokemon.

Most of the first stage pokemon or non evolving pokemon would all start off at level one unless I want to save time and just go and catch them. However pokemon at the start of a game such as pidgey, zigzagoon and shinx would likely be around lvls 2 to 4 since they are initially low levels

I would not raise any pokemon so you can just have a particular evolution just so that you don't have to raise it. If you want a Charizard, then you would have to get a charmander off me and do the work yourself.

I will also trade legendaries with people. These will also be legit legendaries. Depending on availability, I may be able to provide legendaries from certain generations, such as Gen IV Kyogres and Groudons.

At any given time I will have a maximum of 6 of the mainstream pokemon (non legendaries) and won't replenish them until I have ran out of a pokemon.

I would set it up in Numerical Order along side with the pokemon's names. I would list the legendaries at the bottom of the list so that they are easier to find since they are likely to be the most popular.

If I have any duplicates of a shiny pokemon I will list them next to the same pokemon but with an indicator that they're shiny eg: #261 poochyena: x6 Shiny Poochyena x1
Since I only have 1 shiny pokemon at the moment (Mightyena), I would unlikely to be listing any within the first few months of the trade shop's establishment

I would initially start off the Trade Shop specifically to Gen IV (sorry for the inconvenience) until I pick up a 3DS and transfer them to one of my Gen V games and establish a Trade Shop of Gen V games. I will still maintain the Gen IV trade shop.

THE FOLLOWING IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
You may only receive a trade from me once a day, that way I can respond to everyone's request and everyone gets their pokemon :D. Do not ask for another pokemon until you have received your previously requested pokemon through a trade. Only suggest one pokemon at a time, rather than listing multiple pokemon and expecting one each day and being disappointed if I can't deliver.

If you trade with me a pokemon that is not legit and has been created with illegal methods then you will not be allowed to recieve trades from me in the future. You receive no warnings, no second chances. If you abuse my hospitality once then that's it. I am going out of my way to help other's, so please don't screw with me.

So I don't have to power play through a game every time to obtain legendaries, you must trade with me a LEGITIMATE shiny pokemon or a LEGITIMATE legendary to receive a legendary or shiny in return.

You must have traded with me 6 times with no illegal pokemon before you will receive any legendaries or shiny pokemon so that I can build trust with you.



I hope you like my ideas. Feel free to leave you're opinions below in quick comments.
Cheers and sorry about the essay.

Unfortunately, yes, this is in the wrong section. If you're looking to open up a trade shop, the place for that would be the Trade Plaza subforum. You'll have to read through the rules over there though before opening a shop up, since I'm not quite sure your proposed shop would be eligible for its own thread right now (though, I may be misunderstanding how you're running it).

Since this isn't the right section for this thread, I'm going to lock it, but best of luck with your trade shop.

CLOSED.
