Does anyone want to trade by chance? If not I'LL DESTROY ALL THE GYMS WITHOUT SPECIES CLAUSE WITH MY NECTURNA TWINS

What is it with all you people giving away your babies ._.
Looking at like Tulowitzki ending up in a new home, that's going to be so sad and weird to look at </3

In other news, adiass if you don't win a tournament or something with what you got I will personally find you and kick you in the shin over letting a perfectly precious gift go to waste and not fulfilling its huge potential >=(

Merry Christmas tho =D
 
aha you have all fallen for my nefarious plot to get an actually good pkmn without investing any time whatsoever

"Here he comes. All stealthy like, very unnatural of him. Har har, look at him, crawling around on his wings like one of us 'pitiful earthbound creatures'."
"Well, I s'pose even he understands the gravity o' what he's doing. Shame he's comin' to us instead of Don, or at least poor Lee."
"Hey, hey, let's not give him too hard of a time."
"Maybe you won't."

"Well hello there, pitiful earthbound creat-"
"Called it. You seem rather low to the ground right now, Tulo. Not sure the whole pitiful earthbound creatures routine makes a lot of sense when you're slinking about in the moonlight."
"Oaf! It is merely a choice. As you are well aware, I could be soaring through the sky, the moonlight shimmering off of my scales as I fade away into the distance."
"Yeah, you could be doin' that, I s'pose. But here you are now, Tulowitzki, right at eye level with little ol' me, just 'cause you're too afraid o' giving an honest goodbye."
"I am fearless, you lumbering forehead! I am choosing this method for the theatricality of it, it really heightens the mood and adds a sense of excitement to my escape, just befitting of -"
"Escape?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"I, uh, I ... I just don't understand how you two can do it, living this stagnant life we're all trapped in right now. Nobody's left the ranch in months! We haven't battled another trainer in nearly a year, let alone entering a tournament or trying for another badge. All of the sudden, you all seem to be perfectly happy to sit around and picnic and and frolic around in the fields and generally do a whole lotta nothing, when we used to be so adventurous! We were set to reclaim our badge, or take a tournament trophy home at last, or do anything more momentous than a pie-baking contest. I can't stand this! I was meant for greater things, you both know it, and I've got to get out and dazzle the world with the greatest acrobatics they've ever seen! It's what I've been meant to do since I hatched!"
"Rather, since Don Straton brought you back to life from the ol' fossilized piece of treeguts and dead bugs you were, and 'pparently still are. Rather, since his son Lee raised and cared for you well before you became the arrogant heartless sonuva -"
"I'll take it from here, Van."
"I get it, Tulo. You aren't alone in being unhappy with the situation right now. Even those of us that are happy to relax for a bit, we're all waiting for the spark to come back, to get back in the action. But the Stratons are taking a much-needed vacation for now, and we've gotta support that, as they've always supported us in everything we do. As sad as Lee's gonna be when he wakes up tomorrow, I'm sure he'll be happy to cheer you on wherever you end up. It's just how our family works. I know you've been dying to get back into the thick of things again, and you deserve the opportunity to do so. Thanks for at least telling me and Vanguard you're leaving. We're gonna miss you. We're all gonna miss you. I know you feel the same way about us pitiful earthbound creatures, but its okay if you don't say it out loud."
"Well, obviously you'll mis- sorry, bit of an automatic response. I'll miss you too, you rarely-mobile overgrown pebbles. Now, I'm outta here, to go and save some other trainer's ass every single battle because they have no other competent Pokemon."
"Although I hope Vanguard is silently agreeing with me, you might wanna fly zig-zag for a bit, or he'll smack you outta the sky."
"..."
"Of course."

Besides the little bit of drama that happened with the claim and the event, I think that this turned out very well because of how people were able to receive Pokémon that they otherwise had neutral/"eh it would be cool to have this but I don't really want to put work into it" views on. If I could change one thing, it would be allowing every fully evolved Pokémon to be traded, because several people in this thread have expressed interest in Pokémon that were banned. If the person doesn't like what they get, they can trade it to someone else ofc.

But anyway, compliments to Ooraloo and Toon for running this event. I hope we can do something like this next year!

PM any comments and (mostly I assume) criticism about the event and how it's being handled to me and Toon so it can be adjusted if something similar happens in the future.

For now, we've learned that any future event should have either a specific banlist or no banlist at all.

Feedback is nice y'know :>! Positive or Negative (except straight up trash talking the event w/o reasons then keep them to yourself ^^;) looking @ people's post, it appears a lot of yall are happy with what you got (except Galcier, I apologize for getting a duplicate I can work something out with cha if you want) but if you people have ticks or issues that you think would be nice or be helpful for events like these in the future, please let us know ^_^

also since its 2017 i think we can unsticky this lol

Happy Holidays and thanks for a successful Trade Event! o/

Thread will remain sticky'ed for another 24 hours at least. Say your goodbyes to your trade-aways.

That said, I was present on IRC when SL42's fiasco happened. Figured there is a simple enough fix - in the next trade event, when you PM your trademon to the organiser, be sure to link a claim and an approval post from the PCT to clear all illegitimacy issues. I'd probably suggest that at least one of the organiser is an approver as well - the job at least comes with the experience of cross-checking mons.
