Hi everyone :)
So as we - unfortunatly not - all know we can't accept Pokemon trades with item offers only.
If we try to accept them, we will get an error message and have to either reject it or ask the user to reoffer on the trade correctly.

So my suggestion to prevent this from happening would be by adding a pop-up or an error message on those trades while trying to offer on them.
I know Riako already added the: "You must select exactly XX Pokémon for this trade.", but there are still many users who overlook this line. I think it would be better to make the line pop up if you try to offer on a Pokemon trade without a Pokemon, so one is able to correct it immediatly.
It would also shorten the text in the comment section, because one wouldn't need to write: "Don't forget to offer XX Pokemon in order for me to be able to accept the trade." just to be also overlooked because the text is to long...


Hope I explained it well enough. Let me know if you would support this or not - and if not why so? :)

If it's not possible to code it the way that you don't have to offer Pkmn at all I like this.
It happened to me, too: I just forgot to add the amount of Pkmn and the trader had to PM me. Really annoying for everyone!

Suppose, you need to select 12 Pokemons for a trade, and you chose only 11. The offer is not deemed valid, and we have to select them again . So, a pop-up would be extremely convenient in those times too.

Thank you both for supporting this idea and telling about your own experience so far :)

I also just got another item offer only on a Pokemon trade and will have to contact yet another user about not being able too accept the offer like this @__@
I don't know how many messages and how many time I have spent already telling users that I am unfortunatly not able to accept the offer and to please reoffer... even if I already wrote to also offer a Pokemon etc. ....

But maybe Riako is already working on something like my idea, we can only hope XD

Not only is it really annoying to have to contact several people again and again to make them change their offer, but it has happened to me too, I was just going through trades and saw a nice event from someone asking for items, so I just went on and selected an item and had to do it all again.
Same thing for bigger trades, you offer on a 12poke trade and even think about it, count the ones you select, but make a small mistake and it´s now 11 or 13 poke you selected and AGAIN you have to start from the beginning
