What we do is this: we take an easy Pokemon, such as a Weedle, and we nickname it with a friend's name. Then, we put it in the wondertrade. The experiment is to see how many trades the Pokemon has to go through before reaching the target.
However, this experiment will require a lot of cooperation and agreement. Before starting we need to make a polite, non-spam private message to send to the person who receives the Pokemon. Something simple that merely informs the person of the experiment, how it works, and why we are doing this. A PM that they should send to the next person and so on that contains something along the lines of: "This Weedle has been through the wonder trade __ times!"
Because some people may not want to participate, we may have to send out multiple Pokemon to the same person. (Also for reliable data).
We no longer need people to vocalize support! Just post your pokemon that you are sending, and post when a pokemon reaches its destination (or when it gets lost)
Can people also post the pokemon's ID number afterwards? It would make my job easier, and probably Demon's as well. Just put the card like so and then the number.

And the first version of the PM of Politeness:
