So I hat an idea to multi trade. Sometimes when I go to the GTS, I see people spamming with boxes, keys, items, Pokemon, all to a specififc person. This is really annoying. What Multi Trades does is allows you to offer more than one Pokemon. Lets say I am trading with Riako. He is giving me 100 boxes and keys. I can set up a single trade and he can offer the 100 Pokemon on it! THis would save a lot of space and be a lot simpler!

Also, to make things MUCH simpler, why not trade items ;)
I can just set up that one Pokemon, and Riako can click on a scroll-down bar or whatever at the top and choose 'items'. This would show all the items he has and sort of like the Item Shop (selling), you can choose the amounts of what. So he can just offer the Boxes and keys and if I accept It goes straight to my item box!

There are ups and downs to this.
Ups: 1 - it would make shops easier. 2 - Less flooding. 3- Possible to prevent less scamming(?) due to lack of need for "multiple trades to get the other 3 boxes/keys/gems",
Downs: 1 - Easier for people to scam, be scammed, overpay, etc.. 2 - Easier for people to abuse multiple accounts and go relatively unnoticed. That could cause issues. 3 - Could cause people to "lose" pokemon easier, since they will have 9 offered on pokemon 1, and try to offer 9 more on pokemon 2, but one says "this pokemon is busy".

I'm currently fine with how the trade system works... I've seen a multi-offering system used on a different RPG. It didn't go very well, and almost always ended up with newbies being scammed and/or people overpaying.

I don't think the benefits outweigh the bad. Currently no support, but if you can think of a reason why the goods are better, or think of more goods, let me know and I might change my tune.

Thats why there was the second option, to just straight up offer the items :)

1) Lugia covers why this shouldn't be done very well.
2) Trading items has been suggested MANY times, and you can find several other threads on the subject elsewhere. Some of which are much more more explained than your idea.
