This a room for non-competitive ideas/suggestions.

Okay, here's a new suggestion... how adding a feature to GTS where you can make a direct trade between two players without having to be directly connected?

This would be great for allowing people to negotiate trades when they may be online at different times due to time zones, work schedules, etc.... and don't want the risk of someone else coming along and sniping the trade.

That's... actually a good idea. I lost a Shiny Cubugg because my trade partner got impatient and put it on the GTS. Now I have a EV trained Luxi that is just sitting around in my PC.... Still, I imagine it would be a nightmare to code, though. Perhaps adding a specific online ID/trainer ID restriction in GTS would be more doable instead.

Adding a filter for shinies sounds like a good idea too... I would have died if my sniped trade had been a shiny!
