Ok, so I was thinking about this while reading a few threads on scamming and trades etc, and I've come up with an idea that I think could help a lot.

The most common thing people seem to get scammed from is nuggets and pd, which are the only things that can't be given to a pokemon to hold. What I am suggesting is a way for pokemon to be able to hold nuggets or pd, like a wallet for example.

Now, I don't know much anything about coding, so I don't know how or if this could work, but here is how I've been thinking about it.

- A new item can be purchased from the Item Store called "Wallet" or something similar.
- By going to your Item Bag you can chose how many nuggets or pd you want to put in the wallet.
- The pd/nuggets would leave your account at this point, to avoid players spending what they intend
to trade.
- You equip the pokemon with the wallet and set it up for trade.
- The other person can 'see' into the wallet to know how much is inside, to prevent scamming.
- Once the trade is accepted, the other person receives the pd/nuggets, and the wallet disappears.

Why make the wallet disappear? Well, when we gift pd to another player, there isa tax, so having to buy a new wallet each time you want to make a pd/nugget trade would help compensate for that, so players don't use them as a way to gift pd without the tax. I don't know what the best price for it would be to make it fair, that would be something for Riako to decide. Perhaps there could be big or small wallets depending on how much you want to send.

Anyway, any other thoughts, ideas or criticisms are gladly welcomed.

Hm, not a bad idea. Though, maybe a backpack instead? Something that would allow multiple items, pd, and even nuggets to be put in it. However, coding a new trading system might be easier. XD Only Riako could answer that question though.

that's an AWESOME idea..! the only problem which seems to be in it is that only 1 wallet won't be enough for checking the taxes, so, thee should be multiple wallets, each having different highest pd limit, and surely they will have different prices..

My only thing is there should be a way to "see" in the wallet before accepting a trade. Hovertext is nice, but wouldn't work for mobile users (which I am half the time)

Otherwise, I support

Thanks for the input everyone. And, yes, the way I imagined it you would be able to 'see' into the wallet so you would know you weren't getting scammed. I'm not entirely sure how though, again, my coding knowledge is fairly non-existant. :P

Support. I got scammed with 400 nuggets a while ago but it was apparently my fault I didn't make sure they're trustable :p
