I believe that there should be some sort of alert that pops up when you're about to put a shiny in the normal wonder trade. I recently made the mistake of putting a shiny Ambipom in the wrong WT, and I'm sure other people have experienced it too. It might be like the one that pops up when sending items via Delibird delivery, or it could one of those "message from webpage" things. Of course, if you're putting a shiny in the normal WT just to be a nice person, there would still be an option to deposit it if you wanted to.

I am neutral for now - while I see how this could be useful you can also see the shiny wondertrade station/wondertrade station above- you can see if you added a shiny to the wrong one and you can take it out right away unless you do it seconds before the wt occurs~

If I put up any Pokemon accidentally, I'd just take it down. I can see why this would be useful, though.
I am looking to trade most things I have for Pokefarm Q stuff!
This thread will have more info.

I don't see that this is in any way necessary. There are enough details to tell both apart.
1. Of the three parts you can enter in the wonder trade the one you are in is shown on the top in a light colour.
2. The animation of the shiny wonder trade shows shinies the other one doesn't.
3. The caption that tells you when the next wonder trade is says 'next wonder trade' for the normal one and 'next SHINY wonder trade' for the shiny one.
4. The overall caption of the page also says 'SHINY wonder trade'. So does the URL.
5. The Ho-Oh pic on the bottom is shiny for the shiny wonder trade and normal for the other.
6. (just usable in the first two days after the shiny wonder trade took place) The time that shows when the next trade is due will say something like 'In x DAYS and y hours' instead of 'In x HOURS and y minutes'.

That are 5 and a half possibilites to tell both apart. I'm pretty sure that's enough.

Not sure whether to put this in this forum or the old one (so I'll just do both), but I support this as well! I have lost 2 shinies in the normal wondertrade after getting the notification, clicking on it (which sends you to your wondertrade history), clicking the "back to wondertrade" button (which automatically puts you in the normal wondertrade, regardless of what your last pokemon traded was) and putting the shinies up without realizing it was the normal wondertrade and not the shiny one, until they were traded that is :').
Yes, there are some factors already to tell the normal and shiny wondertrades apart, but they can be difficult to see when you're tired or in a rush and are just tunnel-focused on getting the mons in there. All of the visual queues are pretty far away from the button that actually allows you to put a pokemon in the wondertrade, plus these visual queues would be even MORE difficult to see for colorblind players (I find this issue in other places on site as well, like the gem cauldron).

While the overall screens do look different, I don't think they look different enough around the main focal point of the station (which I have highlighted in these images to show how similar they are), so adding a pop-up box just to make sure may be helpful for many players when we are in a rush or being a bit careless while not negatively affecting anyone else.

Ignore how messy they are lol


^Notice how the parts people look at to actually perform the action of setting a pokemon up for trade (ie. the focal points), are not actually distinct from each other.

I'm aiming for ditto so any normal gem offers or letting me borrow your ditto once I have enough gems would be very appreciated! I'm always buying them!
