well back in august i was just like those noobs. I was looking for shinies and events.
Nowadays i only trade with guys who abuse and some friends i have (sacred mikey, twistedpuppy, shroud and some others) whom i give my pokes for free.
I also take the offers and never do the trades XDXDXDXDXDXDXD (like a guy who only has redis pokes(Mostly MattJ's) and he puts NO REDIS on them lolololooololol)
