Honestly no support.

1) If you're searching for a certain item/Pokemon, it's incredibly easy to literally search up that item/Pokemon and therefore have the gts only show you those trades.

2) Its much easier to sell, say, 20 dragon gems in 20 different trades, each asking for 50k pd than it is to sell 20 dragon gems in one trade asking for 1million pd. When you sell your stock in a large amounts, you then have to get a pm with someone only wanting one or two, and then have to take down your trade, set up a private trade, and then set up your original public trade all over again. Asking for a smaller amount in many different trades makes it more likely to get interest from different people who have what you want to buy/trade.

3) The gts shows 20 trades at a time- it's really not difficult to scroll past trades if you're just looking through, which is what anyone is doing if you aren't looking for something specific.

Conclusion- Limiting the amount of trades people can have would severely nerf the gts and I can promise that doing that would make more people unhappy than pleased. Not only that, but it's completely unesseccary to limit people in that regard.

Once you buy the radar, you also need to buy batteries for it. Or, if you buy premium, your radar won't run out.

You can see what you need to buy a battery for your radar, and once you do that, you can turn the radar on and it will allow you to chain Pokemon. The battery runs out when you hatch the first shiny of your chain, so you will have to buy another battery to keep the chain going, or to start a new hunt.

	As far as I know, gems' value haven't changed(much) for quite a while. Should they change drastically, it should be easy enough to go into the code and change values. [Read more]

(Quick word- I was going to put this in a profile feed, but decided it was too much information and built kind of like a suggestion, so I hope this counts and is taken into consideration.

Oh, dear, sweet, dreaded Gem Exchange. How my heart burns when I look through your lustrous mountains of garbage deals and cheap tricks.
Its about time for that to change

I think we are all well aware of what the gem exchange is, I don't remember if brand new users have access to it or not, so if you don't have a gem exchange tab yet, just take my word for it and consider yourself lucky. For now.
So let's get right to the chase, cut the salt out of this post's diet, and talk about our topic on hand.

.
.
.

The Gem Exchange: The Problem

The gem exchange, by definition, is "The meeting place for gem trades". It is a centralized, and heavily simplified GTS, which is totally fine and absolutely very useful, especially for users who use gems as a huge boost in their shiny hunts. All of this is great, the concept is easy enough to understand, and it has a general usefulness to it that makes it a key recourse to this game.
Unfortunately, the gem exchange is a victim of users' blatantly swindling others, whether they actually realize they are or not.
Before I get eaten alive by people claiming that I've said everyone is cheating everyone else, just hold on- because I'm not.

Whether this issue is coming from the fact that people are severely uniformed or perhaps they are trying to rip off of some unknowing rookie, is completely situational. I can't speak for the users' who make the trades, but I can speak for how the trades look themselves.
And honey, they ain't lookin too good.

(Yes. I ripped this from price check. It's what everyone should use)

Dragon Gem: - 45,000 - 50,000

Fairy Gem: 1,000 - 4,000

Bug Gem: 500 - 600

Normal Gem: 1,000 - 1,500

Common Gems (Ground, Fighting, Grass, Steel, Rock) - 400 - 600

Semi Uncommon Gems (Poison, Psychic): 500 - 800
(People often Common and semi-uncommon together at 500pd- which is fine, they're not much different to one another)

Uncommon Gems (Fire, Flying, Electric, Water, Ice, Ghost, Dark) - 800 - 1,000

These generally accepted prices in mind, I've copied a few trades from the GE to list below. I'm not listing screenshots because, frankly, I'm too lazy to crop and upload the image someplace else to put here. Especially when you could just go to the GE and find about 100 other extremely similar tades. I've done enough editing for this post.

Fighting Gem [x28] for Normal Gem [-/60]
14,000 for 60,000

Water(x3),Flying(x2),Grass(x5),Poison(x5),Electric(x1),Ground(x3),Psychic(x1),Rock(x7),Ice(x1),Bug(x1) for Dragon Gem (-/5)
17,000 for 250,000

Water(x3),Rock(x5) for Fire(-/1),Fighting(-/1),Grass(-/1),Psychic(-/1),Dragon (-/1),Ghost(-/1),Fairy Gem (-/1)
4,900 for 55,500
.
.
.

I'll be honest, that's enough of a headache for now. Just go take a look at the GE, you'll find plenty of trades just like those. Also, if you recognize your trade... sorry, but not really. There needs to be a fix.

My Suggestion
I have suffered on this for a while. How do you fix a feature that is so perfect, simple, and useful, and yet so cripplingly flawed, it's practically of no use to those who need it?
One of the main ideas I've come up with is to implement a value bar that adds up the general value of your offer and compares it to what you're asking for. If values don't match up withing the correct range, the trade doesnt go up.
Also, I'm making these edits at 3:30am on my phone, dont laugh. I draw, not edit.

If you have other suggestions, or need me to go more in depth, please comment below. Supporting this post isn't necessarily supporting my specific idea. It's supporting a change to a flawed and aggravating game feature

Thank you, and goodnight.

Hiya! Welcome to my #1 Priority PH goal!

As you can see, I'd really like to complete my dex, but not in the traditional manner! I'd like to have a complete shiny dex, but I need people's help for that, since I ~~don't want to~~ can't hunt for each and every pokemon.

As of now, I'm lot looking to buy shiny legendaries, mythicals, events, or shiny megas

Interested in selling your extra shinies?
Be sure to check below and make sure I'm looking for that shiny, then just comment below what your price is and I'll consider your offer!

	No support for the reasons stated above. While It would be cool to have a complex battle system, theres bigger isues to fix and the system is pretty perfect as it is now, even if simplistic as hell. [Read more]
