In my opinion Trade Corner hasn't been more organized in the four years I've been trading. You are doing a spectacular job! I love the new QTT sub-forum and the Trader Reviews. I'm sure these changes will bring more people to Trade Corner.

I don't remember exactly when, but the Trader Reviews had over 70 visitors at a time not long ago. That is very impressive.

and i will love to see that day

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. :)
As I remember it, in 2011 TC was still a very active and thriving section. I've never seen it dead or not-active. It's got a lot of mods because it needs a lot of mods. You all are very busy and work very hard to make this section work.

Also, I appreciate you all <3


You know what? This isn't about your feelings. A human life, with all its joys and all its pains, adding up over the course of decades, is worth far more than your brain's feelings of comfort or discomfort with a plan. Does computing the expected utility feel too cold-blooded for your taste? Well, that feeling isn't even a feather in the scales, when a life is at stake. Just shut up and multiply.

Possibly because of how easy IV breeding is in XY and the fact that there's stuff like Wonder Trade? And the fact that people are getting more into competitive than ever surely says something.

70?! I've never seen it that high before. But it's doing its job since the scamming has pretty much stopped since we've implemented it.

The shops would have some posts every once in awhile, but we had one QTT back then and it was rarely posted in, about like it is now. Trading since the release of X&Y has dramatically changed and it is a lot more active now. Having four mods helps since when it was just three of us we were doing way too much work. D: Keiran is awesome and is very helpful. <3

I've seen our current viewer count hover over 90 a few times in the past few days. Sadly, about 60-70 usually are guests.

I’m really very new to PC, but I was able to start trading right away. I like how quick trade is being handled. The system is efficient and most users are friendly. I’ve only ever had one person ignore me. As far as I’m concerned, things are great!

I'm working on Kalos-breeding a VGC team I like... oh man this is going to take a while. :x
I’d imagine a whole team will take about as long as the Masuda method has been taking me. Breeding has never been easier, but it’s never been this annoying either.

I'm slowly coming out of my lurking status and become one of you guys. HELLO. o/ I'm mostly lurking at the quick trade threads, haven't branched out at the shops yet though!

I really love the current set up, btw! It's much more organized.

Yay welcome Megan! <3

I've had quite a few shops but I won't open a new one until I get my PowerSaves. So two more weeks tops :D.

By the way Aeroblast, did you solve your Bank issue? If so, how?

Actually as long as you spend a few hours a day doing it, it takes as little as a 'mon per day and you can get your entire team bred within a week, if luck runs in your favor. Masuda is a whole 'nuther serpent altogether.

I need to start breeding most of my OU team, and learn to RNG for that last mon... I'm dreading the last bit, but breeding should be fun.

Right now I am just breeding it without nice Pokeballs, which I might not even go back and redo. So far I've gotten 2/6 of the Pokemon done already. :D

What team though? Is it that one with lots of legends? That's less breeding and more RNG.

I'd eventually like to have both of my teams that I like on X.

Nope. I sent a ticket to Nintendo days ago but they have not replied back. I'm still open to suggestions, but I have tried everything so this is a dead situation now mostly. My only hope is Nintendo refreshing their Bank servers or something.

Oh well. The only Pokemon of importance I lost were 4 Kalos events. I still have Hong Kong Sylveon so I can probably get them back soon if I tried.

Dude that sucks and I'm sorry to hear you still haven't heard anything. But knowing you, you can definitely get them back.:)

Does that mean you're actually gonna try to participate in the VGC? That would be quite interesting if you could.

I actually have to breed for Sky Battle Tourney and VGC soon, especially if I want to try and make it up to Seattle for Regionals. -_- I think I may have to swing by Nugget Bridge for advice since I know jack about doubles.
