The question is not 'where can it be found?', or 'how much would it cost' etc. The question is 'what it is?'.

A Trade Bag is simply a bag in which a user can keep some items for trading (please read the whole post before giving opinion). Many a times, we need to trade many items, and for them, we need to trade the same number of pokemons. To make it less tedious, Trade Bag could be used, which can be held by a particular pokemon and then be traded.

I have prepared a short FAQ, to make it more simple and supportive. I'll extend it as soon as I get more of them.

Q) Since it is a bag which can carry more than one items, won't some users use it for making pokemons hold more items (like 5 gems etc)?
A) The Trade Bag is meant only for trading, not for permanent holding. If a pokemon holding a trade bag is not traded within 24 hours, the trade bag is automatically dislodged and the items return back to the item bag. So, there is no scope of multiholding. :)

Q) A person trades a pokemon holding a trade bag, then won't he lose the trade bag?
A) Yes he would. Trade bags won't be much costly (1k PD or something near to it), and are for one time use only. After a trade, the GTS can display a message like 'The bag tore' or something like that (just like a key becomes useless after opening a box), so that it cannot be used more than once. :)

Q) How can we get it?
A) It could be obtained through rumbling, or even at the itemshop. :)

Q) What is its maximum capacity?
A) Its max capacity could be something like 8 or 10, but by giving more money (not sure how much), it could be extended. :)

Q) What special arrangement is there to know what items are present in the bag, to prevent cheating?
A) It could be either in 2 ways :
(I) As we move our cursor on the Userlevel bar, a small bo appears displaying our trainerpoints. It could be similar to it.
(II) As in the rumbling, there is a link which we click shows a dialog box listing the name of items the pokemon brought. So it could be that way either.
In both ways, we get to know which items are present in the bag, so there is no scope of cheating. :)

I will add many more as I get them, and please feel free to ask questions not listed here. :)

NOTE: This is a new suggestion and has NOT been suggested before. Please do not relate this with other suggestions based on trade!

more on like item trade which got rejected

---

I think it should be a permanent Key Item type of thing for a high price, but I'd support either way.

magnetoise: This is pretty different.

---

Support! But I think it should be a Special Item, since it's used only once-like keys and boxes- and not in the item shop.

---

support, also the items in the bag will not have ANY effect on the pokemon only for trading that removes why its bad to hold multiple items

---

Well, I don't know the exact reason, but this is inspired from the game in which a pokemon cannot hold more than one items....like Dira Hit, X Attack, X Defence etc....

---

But there should also be a counter showing how many items that the bag currently has e.g: We want some one to trade 5 mystery boxes (Green), Well someone could scam us if it doesn't show how many items are in the Bag or what items they are!

---

Thanks humza, I added that question as an FAQ......
There's the answer on the main post.

---

Support fully :)
Oh how much easier it would be to trade things, even if you could only get them from rumbling!

---

As I said in the main post, I'm not sure about the rumbling thing.....That is a pretty future matter.:)

---

Full support! It would be easier than the gem exchange, when your selling items, and even when you just want to put up multiple items for trade.
But what if you put it up for trade and it wasn't traded in a day? Maybe a mechanism so that if you put up a trade it holds the items, but if you just keep it it won't work.

---

If a pokemon is set UFT, or offered on any UFT pokemon, it doesn't lose the trade bag. Trade Bags are for trades, so no dislodging of the Trade Bag when pokemin is in the GTS.

BUMP!! 030

---

I think you should remove the 24 hours thing and instead make it clear that the items in the bag do not do anything to the pokemon (for example am everstone won't work while in the bag)

---

Yeh, but if it doens't do anything to the pokemon, what is the use of giving it to it? 030

---

You said it's to trade items, so the items in the bag would not do anything to the pokemon

---

Yes, they won't affect. If it's an everstone in the bag held by the pokemon, it won't stop the evolution, and if it's an evolutionary item in the bag held and traded, it won't evolve the respective pokemon.

---

Full support! I've been waiting for someone to suggest something like this!

BUMP!~ 030

Hmmmm.....Tired of BUMPing!!! 030
