[OLD] Trade Corner Daily Chit-Chat

[greg0915]

I've been busy lately with assessments and Christmas build up :P
I'll RNG the Victini's and some more pokes and return to trading :D

P.S I'm gonna do Naive HP Ice and Jolly Victini's

I think I figured it out... I think I discovered my problem.... I like RNGing sure, but doing nothing but.... Even going through the story with RNGed pokemon.... it sickens me. I hate it. So when I open a new thread, or merge with Blade or somethin like that... I willl probably only take non RNG'd shinies and events for a while... The elitism is kinda gross.

So you don't like that we don't want Pokemon that don't have good IVs, nature, and abilities? You want us to select crappy Pokemon to receive for our 'perfect' Pokemon? And that's elitism? Fine, we're elitists then if that's your definition... I know I do and Blade accept Pokemon that are not 'up to par' to what we have in our thread in the interests of sharing our abilities with others... is that elitism? I think not.

Honestly though, I love to help people out... I help people out all the time. I've been tutoring Alex on RNGing... we all helped Tom (TheGr8) shiny abuse. It's a community effort... and people need to get involved with said community. EmbC came in the chat room and he had rnged on his DSi. And you know what was done?? We put that EmbC is our Hero in the topic. How is that elitist and non-welcoming? We want to help... we just need people to come in chat and ask for it. It's there for EVERYONE... not just the so-called elitists... Just need people to click a link and talk to us... we give out free stuff all the time... just need to show effort.

My two cents.

:( Are you suggesting that we have shifted the game to largely competitive flawless and ostracized casual players? I'd like to believe that PC has one of the more friendly and accepting trade communities. Casuals are welcome. I still trade with them even if I know I'm not getting much in return Pokemon-wise. I'm essentially trading to be trading. :P

If it takes partnering with you to keep you around, I'm game. Your shinies and events + my flawless = triple threat. It will definitely be interesting and should renew sparks. :')

edit: You guys can organize community events etc and just have to run them by me/twisted, you know that right? We... can't really run them beucase we have enough on our plate. XD

 

[Melinda]

I agree with Blade. I think we're a pretty open trade community. I'd love to trade with people who breed their own Pokemon, RNGed or not.

I think we should go find Kip and have another egg swap so we can find new traders to join us and have some fun. :D

I have spent an entire day trying to RNG on 4th Gen, and all that hard work has paid off. I owe a special thanks to Gonz0. I couldn't have done it without you. xD

Nature: Timid
Ability: Pressure
Moves: Rain Dance, Gust, Aurora Beam, Mist
IVs: 31 / 31 / 31 / 30 / 31 / 31 [HP Electric 70]​

 

[Raichupacabra]

Back in the days of '10 when I ran some popular threads. Now it's all gone; no good Pokemon, no one remembers me for my work. When I officially return in June, I will make an awesome trade thread.

Ideas for it?

Oh pfft! As soon as I logged in, I was delighted to see Raichupacabra posting here. I remember you and your events. :)
A little innovation in thread title, design, and presentation can go a long way.. June is a long way away, lol. :O

I may come sooner like around Winter Break but with much school work I can't stay on here as much as I would like.

If I can arrange a schedule I could show up on the weekends.

I came out of that vastly offended. But maybe that is due to not saying everything I was thinking. I meant on what we are offering. Whenever I do get back into trading, I am gonna get off my lazy bum and put up the things I RNG'd on Diamond too. Back when I couldn't give a darn about IVs. As well as my events, some of which were RNG'd (But not by me. XD I don't have the time for that) But yeah. I was just talking on me. Not all of you.

Just know I did bash my head against the nearest wall for being such a retard. Though... I am gonna need some help legit checking all of my events. There is a fair share I am unsure of.

I still remember you! June is a long ways away. :/
I'm just glad you're coming back at all. :D



I'm not quitting like I thought I was. :P
I can still RNG on my Black and on my Plat.
Someone should make a guide on RNG Captures for Gen 4?
For nubs like me. BD

Well i've finally decided I am indeed returning to trade corner sometime soon. Does anyone have a thread layout i could use/borrow thats better looking than my old one? Here's a link to that old ugly thing https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/260883

Not wanting to start any drama or anything, but I'm backing up a friend.

Just because it's not RNG'd, it's crappy? Son, I've been breeding the hard way before you were even a noob here. You are in no position to pass that kind of judgement, sorry. I'd really be careful where you go with that.

 

[TwilightBlade]

Guys, we just have a huge misunderstanding here. There is absolutely no reason to belittle nor offend one another. We all put forth equal effort in this game. We trade for those who also dedicate their time to this game. Do not create a "us vs them" scenario because in reality, we are all collectively working hard on owning good Pokemon. Good is subjective to the individual trader. Kirozane was just saying how she was growing bored of the series because her playtime revolved around RNG abused Pokemon. ^^

@assassinjay1229: There is a CSS guide in the works, but you can always draw inspiration from other trade threads. Sometimes simple layouts can be as impressive as heavily CSS layouts. Take some of my old threads for example.
