Well, so my suggestion is for the GTS-

Right now, when you put a pokemon on trade and you go to check all of the trades there are currently on the GTS, the pokemon you have putted will look like that:

(Same as every pokemon you see on the GTS)

But when you press on the "offer" button, it will lead you to this page-

Which is, to be honest, kinda useless page. Instead of it, replacing the "offer" button to "check offers" button- which will lead you to a page that you will see all of the offers people have made on that pokemon would be a bit more useful.

I know that you can already check all of the offers made on your pokemon in the GTS, but look at my suggestion as a bit useful way to check the offers made on each pokemon separately, and replacing a useless button on the way.

So... what do you think?

But why would we want to check each pokemon separately? Our "Your Trades" page shows us ALL of the trades we have up with dropdown lists containing the offers, anyway.

I already said in the suggestion, it isn't very useful suggestion, but it's better than a button that will lead you to a page which is just saying that you can't offer for your own pokemon.
This can also help if you have many pokemon on the GTS, and you can check some of them without checking on "Your Trades" page. I'm not saying that the "Your Trades" page should be replaced- of course not, I'm just saying it might help by a bit.

... And as I said, why would you ever want to check your trades without going to the "Your Trades" page? This just seems like a gimmick nobody would use because the "Your Trades" page is easier to access.

If you just checking some trades other people made on the gts, and seeing your pokemon there, you might think about checking it- and this will be a faster way than going to "Your Trades" to check trades on that pokemon in this case, so it is a bit useful.
But lets say my suggestion is useless, than do you have any use from a page that says you cannot offer for your own pokemon? my suggestion was done to remove that button and replace it to not leave an empty space there.

And then, how will we get the link for a trade which we set up? Because, the button is popularly used by owners of trades to give to their customers, who have to offer on them. Any explanation on that?

Well, I didn't think that the owners of trades do that, I never do. Anyways, you can still check the id of your pokemon- the id of the trade is just the same as the id of the pokemon, so you could enter another offer and just replace the id of it with the id of your pokemon.
Well, if many users do what you said, my suggestion is more on the bad side than the good one.
