Rules & Regulations for trading pokemon

Posting rules

1. No hacked Pokémon
This includes:
* Legendary Pokémon that are below the level caught in-game.
* Pokémon that have maxed out stats.
* Fanmade events. They're all hacked, anyway. Only real events can be traded.
* This list could go on for a while, but the point is, any Pokémon caught or edited with the use of programs such as: Action Replay, Codebreaker, Gameshark, Pokesav, we do not allow here.
2. Event Pokémon
*Movie Darkrai is allowed.
* Arceus - Naturally, it is not allowed until it's given in a Nintendo event.
* Shiny Events - There are some events that are supposed to be shiny for the first person that received it, but since there's little chance that people will trade it, it's against the rules to trade it to avoid hacked ones. This includes Mew, Celebi and Jirachi. In addition, note that any other event Pokémon are set to be non-shiny except for island Lugia/Ho-oh/Deoxys and hatched Manaphy.
3. Please specify if there are items attached to the Pokémon.
This is self-explanatory.
4. Be patient, It may take a while before someone views your thread.
Do not yell at people, or generally become annoying if your trade is not completed quickly.
5. Please only post in a request topic if you're accepting the trade at hand.
Also self-explanatory.
6. On trade evolutions...
If you're trading to evolve a Pokémon (ex. Kadabra, Slowpoke, Machoke), it'd be best to work that out over private messaging, but you can create a thread if you want.
7. On "Guess the number to get the Pokémon" games...
These just create alot of spam, and are uneeded - members are likely to get annoyed quickly if they don't get it. Don't make these kind of threads, please.
8. There's a limit to how many trade threads you can make...
The limit is you're allowed to at least create 3 trade threads. Only ask of the moderator of the section to approve of your 4th one or more. Stick to one trade thread, not make multiple others.
9. Also, you should probably read this post.
10. These are rules, not suggestions.

If any Mod thinks this should be Altered please feel free to do so.
