I can't remember the last time I used Wonder Trade, it definitely wasn't this month. >_> I haven't gotten anything overly cool from it in a while, as well.

My first thought is Powersave. Make Shiny + unlimited items.

It looks a lot more like a random Shiny Holding a master ball that was cloned, lol. It was nice either way, haha.

I haven't used it a lot lately, but I have a lot of breeding rejects and no space left in the boxes, so I'm wonder trading them away to get some dex entries and hopefully good parents and then releasing the rest.

Yeah probably random Shiny but that was still my first thought. I would definitely send out items with Wonder Trade if I could make unlimited with Powersave. Like Ability Capsules or Master Balls at least.

I would make unlimited PP Max if I could for myself lol. I still haven't gotten a single one.

idk if this works anymore but

in 4th gen, I would breed Scizors and throw them on the GTS. I'd get practically any pokemon I wanted overnight; *****es love the Scizor.

I have gotten an Adamant Murkrow, a Modest Houndoom, and various other goodies. If only I had 2 DS(s), or a 3DS... Nintendo's shutting down of the wifi is gonna seriously cripple me.

If anyone has traded their Wii in for a WiiU, which I hear is possible, can someone please PM me on how it went?

That's pretty sweet! Always nice when someone gives you free stuff. I always enjoy hooking people up with Pokemon. I know how hard it can be to get what you need sometimes.

As long as you ask for a somewhat fair return, people will usually give you just about whatever you want on GTS. It's even easier now that you don't need a Dex entry to look for Pokemon.

I have gotten some nice breeding rejects, like a 5IV, fully egg moved, heal ball, female Klefki. It is really nice getting something like that as it saves you a lot of time for future breeding projects.

This was certainly a very useful addition to the GTS. Without it I probably wouldn't have ever completed my Pokedex, let alone complete it twice.

Going to change the topic here, but I have a question for you all.

How do you like the recent changes we've been doing around Trade Corner? Bad? Good? Anything that you think needs changing? Suggestions? Ideas?

Just wanting to know if what we're doing is actually helping make Trade Corner a better place. and making it the best section of PC of course

Personally, I'm still kind of confused as to why the Quick Trades needed their own section(like Plaza and Trader Reviews). It could just be that I'm so used to the Quick Trades being within Trade Plaza so it's awkward for me to see it this was. Another thing that I don't think really helps a whole lot is having all the different Quick Trades threads. It does give people a place to find /exactly/ what they're looking for, whether it be items or shinies or what have you, but I think a few of them could just be condensed back into a General Quick Trade thread instead of having so many different ones.

I find them to be quite pleasant:)
It really makes the qtt's easier to hone in on. I'm sure it makes it easier for new people to navigate as well. Shouldn't be anymore guessing as to where to go for what you are looking for.
The only thing I have noticed is the appearance of giveaway threads in 2 different sections. Maybe a more defined specification on where to put those is needed but that's all:)
You trade mods have stepped up the game.
You kind of hinted at the trade corner being the best section, but in all honesty it probably should be. The way the games are designed, you almost have to be a part of an online community to get them all. The way I see it, a lot of people are searching for a reliable and easy way to get those pokemon. With the way PC is set up now, it's a dang good place for newbies to find that sanctum of trade. I remember when I first came here from a different site, I was overwhelmed by all of the "rules", but after finding a niché here, I see why they are in place. In the chaotic realm of the online world, peace and order are highly needed. If not, then frickin pirates would rule the world. There has been thought put into the trade corner, and so it should be:) keep up the good work and this site could thrive on this section alone if needed. Not that it needs to, given all of the other wonderful sections.

I think the trade mods here are doing extremely well.

I wish the trading section was much more active but what can you do about that.
We're trying to make trade more active, but it's pretty hard to do. Getting input from members helps a lot since then we can know if something works or not.

The QTTs were getting an insane amount of posts per day and we were having to move around too many posts and threads to keep trade organized. We figured there was enough activity to have quick trades as it's own section. As for the QTTs, we're test running them right now. If a certain QTT doesn't get many posts in so long of a time we'll scrap it.

There shouldn't be giveaways in Trade Shops anymore, unless they are held in a shop. All giveaways now belong in Quick Trades if they are separate from a shop. I read through the rules in Shops and Quick Trades and edited them to reflect that, but if I missed something do tell me please.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not really trying to beat you over the head with that as it's a factor out of the mods' control.

Maybe I'm setting the barometer too high though, somewhere between 1/2 of Gamefaqs activity to this current "situation" (Can't think of a better word for this, it'd be nice for someone to help me out?) would be nice. Trading community needs to be more known to the fanbase but that's much easier said than done.

Something else we can't help is the ebb and flow of trade across all forums in general. Before X&Y were released trade was... dead. Trade Corner was like a ghost town and it was kinda scary. Then X&Y were released and trade went insane. Compared to recent history, trade now is booming. But I agree with you. I too would love to see trade super busy and posts every 5 seconds or so, but that takes time to happen.

And we're not taking any offense to what you say. We appreciate your opinions. :)

At first I was rather apprehensive about the QT Forum, but I can really see the benefit now. Having arranged a few trades through it I can see how it made things easier. I think it was a good call. Certainly better than having 5 QTTs at the top of the Plaza, lmao.

I like how everything is set up now, I think it's better than before. I especially like the fact that you can make new threads for quick trades. Epic.

I feel all of the recent changes make Trade Corner a better place. How we can advertise more, I don't know. I feel my signature should interest anybody curious enough to investigate. It leads them here. I've tried to get others to come but actually getting them to stay appears harder.
