Im all for it.

Firstly it will help people complete their dex which is good for collectors like me, secondly it will help people get the high CP pokemon they want in their team that they may not have caught,

I'm looking forward to it, and really hoping that items can be traded/sold as well.

I work right next to a pokestop, so I am swimming in items, but have extremely limited data and not a lot of opportunity to actually go out and catch/hatch pokemon, so I'd love it if there was a way I could trade my masses of pokeballs in for, say, lures or incense.

I'm super excited for it. It gives more of a chance to help others out when it comes to certain pokemon they can't find. And to help those wanting to rid those certain pokemon (who have no interest in leveling/evolving). Plus it's like the biggest feature of pokemon! Getting to trade stuff. :)

sounds like im one of few that isnt excited for it lol, where i am everyone has pokemon around the same level due to it being a town but if i visit the local cities everyone has much higher CP pokemon due to there being more people/pokestops/rarer pokemon around. When trading comes in it will be who can get the best trade instead of who puts in the most effort and im not interested in trading, every one of my pokemon ive caught or hatched from my effort so that means more to me than getting one from a trade
There are many forces in this world.
Some are good, some are bad.
Some we can see and some we can't.
Some we know about and others we are yet to discover.
Don't let anyone tell you anything is impossible.
For there is no one in this world you can truly know for sure.

I feel like the game will be too easy with a trade option...

If there is a trade option, I wan to be able to trade with someone near by only, and trade for mostly equal CP. Like, we can't trade a 50 CP for a 1700 CP.

I wouldn't be fair for those who don't have friends who plays and for those who train hard only for being beaten by someone who got all his Pokemon traded.
I miiiiight be back?
And why am I not a supporter anymore >.<

Very, very excited about trading. More excited about trading than any other feature (honestly, even moreso than new generations).

I'm one small part of the awesome development of The Silph Road and intend to be a a big part of the trade routes moving through the Midwest United States once trading is up and running.

I agree with others that it should be only being able to trade when you're nearby the other partner. That's what we're expecting and anticipating. I will be totally floored and massively discouraged if Niantic ends up doing something different than that. Additionally, I'm concerned about bots and farming--all of that could play a devastating effect in a trade environment, but hopefully Niantic will be smart and prepare for this.

Can't wait for it. Because it gives us the opportunity to get Pokemon that we have difficult in catching, especially those rare ones out there.

exclusive pokemons will be intresting to trade, i know there are a few groups planning some work around it - wonder if it will involve ppl flying around?
I hope so, because I think that having to trade in person will be key to the system's success. If it's just a huge trading lobby, bots will take over and ruin everything.
