After scouring Google and other forums, I could not find what I was looking for.
What I was looking for was some kind of web app, a pokemon social networking site if you will, that allowed a user to create a profile and post all the pokemon they owned and those which they wanted to trade for. I'm talking a full-fledged website that allowed you to search other people's trade offers so that you could find a deal quickly and complete your pokedex. Now I understand that you could post in forums until you found somebody who was looking for a trade, but this takes a long time, and is inconvenient for those who are breeding special types (like egg move breeders).
What would be really cool is a website where you posted your pokemon, then which ones you wanted, and it would automatically pop up with trade offers. It would be like the GTS on steroids, complete with user profiles, and easy ways to negotiate trades that benefit both users in a quick, time-efficient manner. There are so many possibilities of things that could be done. You could have ratings for traders (like on EBay) so that you would know how reliable somebody is. You could even expand the profile idea to allow for teams and competitive play. (I noticed several "gyms" spring up in the forums.)
Anyway, if anybody out there is a good coder (I know I'm not), could you please consider organizing some people to work on this. That would seriously own, and PokeCommunity could be the first pokemon site to have something like this!
Let me know what you think below. I would be more than happy to help test the website for bugs and stuff if anybody decides to develop it. (I am also ok with designing website graphics and stuff if help was needed in that area). This probably isn't the right forum to be posting in for this, so mods move this topic to wherever.
