Please be sure to read these rules. Anyone caught breaking any of these rules will have their thread deleted and will be issued a warning.
RULES of TRADING
In depth summary of each rule above:
- Do not trade Pokemon (or items they hold) for ANY type of currency.
While many argue that this rule is a little rocky, considering Game Freak has not made a claim on this idea, selling Pokemon (digital content that does not belong under copyright of YOU) for currency (money, virtual currencies, etc) is highly not advised on this forum. If there are any members doing this, the thread will be shut down and the member will be harshly warned. Not only is this to keep others safe, it is also to make sure that the forum does not get shut down for potentially illegal activity by its members. Now, it's possible that not everyone knows about this, but if you have read these rules you should know better.
- You may trade Pokemon for artwork and other free services.
I absolutely and full-heartedly allow artists to sell their artwork in Pokemon. As an artist myself, I think it's a good idea if people want to do that. Now, if you're not an artist, but you're great at coding or at least like helping people in general, you may also offer your services to get Pokemon. Do NOT offer hacking services!! This includes Action Replay codes!
- Trading Disputes
If you believe the trade you made was unfair (i.e. you traded your Charizard X for their Charizard Y but they didn't give you the mega stone), unfortunately we cannot do anything about that. You must take every possible measure to make sure your trade is satisfactory. However, if you or the other member harass each other about a trade on this forum, we will step in.
- Lying
If there are any trades along the lines of "Oh, I have this Pokemon but my brother has it. Just temporarily could you trade me this and I'll get back to you with the Pokemon you want in a day or two?" That's a red flag right there. Never take trades like this - that's common sense. Any member who has a shady trade like this will be warned.
- Event Pokemon and the GTS
This is more of a public service announcement:
EVENT POKEMON CANNOT BE TRADED VIA GTS. This includes Victini, Meloetta, and other Pokemon you see people desperately asking for. Personally, I hate seeing this. So if you have an event Pokemon like that which you want, do a one-on-one trade and quit clogging up the GTS.
[Rules are subject to change at any time, but changes will always be noted in the updates forum.]
