Thread: Global Trade Station Helpdesk & Feedback

Do you have a question regarding how to use the Global Trade Station forum, or trading in general? Have something to comment on? Go ahead and post it here! (Questions not related to these topics [like how to use the GTS in your game] should be posted to their respective Simple Question threads: fifth generation questions to the Pokémon Video Games section and older generation questions to the Lost Tower section.)

I have a question.
In this part of the rules...

Bulbagarden Networks does not support the usage of illegal game copies in any way. Thus, any threads involving emulators, flash carts and other applications/devices allowing people to use ROMs will be closed and the user will be infracted for Copyright Violation.

So, does "involving" mean using these devices to trade is not allowed, like the old Bulbagarden Trade Center's new rule?

Yes, the rule might have a different wording but it's essentially the same as the one that was added to the old Trades rules a few days earlier.

Mine is just a spot of feedback...

I love the new set up for the trade station, amazing work guys and girls :)

Was just wondering if you guys wanted me to port over my GTS distribution servers here.

It's the other branch of "The Global Terminal" that was open here some time back, where it was just a checker server. I've converted it into a fully distro server now though, since PokeCheck is available.

Who do I go about contacting to get some trade threads moved out of the archive and placed into the new subforums? :)

Fake GTSes are a bit iffy by design. The former service was allowed because it was just for checking but distribution is a whole new story. I'll have to say no for the time being, but I'll let you know if our stance on this changes.

You can just tell the name of the thread here. (The current threads were picked with the criteria that they had posts sent in this year and didn't seem to be "completed".)

Right, no problem :P

I decided to open a shop over here but I can't find the approval thread. help?

There isn't a sign-up thread anymore. You just need to post a thread (you won't be able to see it when it's posted though) and we'll approve it if there's enough.

Everything is in the rules: Rules of Celadon Department Store :)

I was wondering if the amount of images allowed per post in the shop department could be increased a little? I feel like people will be more attracted on visiting the stores if they had some visual motivation and not just a wall of text. Just wondering tough.

Is RNG hacking so needs to be put in Dubious Disk, or is it considered legitimate?

Nope, RNG is considered legit.

Can eggs still be traded via Wi-Fi with friend codes? My friend used to do an Easter Eggschange in gen 4 and I would like to pick it up again this year but wanted to verify that eggs could still be traded. Thanks

@ShinyBreeder: Yup, you can trade eggs over Wi-Fi in 4th generation. You do need at least 2 actual Pokemon in your party when you go in Wi-Fi, still.
