With the new generation of Pokémon out, I though we could use a big ol' trade/giveaway thread! (Then we can use the other threads to discuss the games without personal trades filling them up.)
Feel free to work out trades, offer giveaways, ask for help filling your Pokédex, etc. Spread the love!
Remember to mention which game/generation you are looking for! You can still trade online in gen 6.
For easy online trading, try the gts! It's much more convenient than friend codes/being online at the exact same time.
Quick Guide: First, discuss what you want to trade. (Duh!) Then Person A deposits something nobody would want (like Ratatta or Pikipek), and asks for the specific Pokémon they want from Person B. Then Person B searches up Person A's trade and accepts it. Make sure the Pokémon Person A deposits is not something anyone would want, otherwise a stranger might intercept the trade! (You can do this both ways for even trades, since you can both have a deposited Pokémon at the same time.)
