this isn't something i usually do, but gosh, i really have to start talking in this diary!!! so, i watched kpop demon hunters and boy oh boy it was genuinely so, so good? mainly the music. i'm not that much of a kpop fan (considering my music taste listed above this post, it's pretty obvious 😭) and yet "your idol" and "golden"? actually, scrap that, all of those songs were so awesome?
the choreography and animation too!! especially when huntrix was performing! the songs and the dancing really made it feel like i was watching the concert there too!! i know i've said this before, but golden was so good. unbelievably good.
honestly, i'd never have had watched this movie if i didn't see a good friend of mine mention it in his instagram note, set one of his accounts' icon to zoey, generally just seeming to enjoy it a lot? so hey, if you're reading this diary right now—thanks for that!! i had my doubts, sure, but the characters were artist eye candy and i must mention how awesome the songs were again...
maybe, just maybe, i could draw a little fan art of huntrix. just a little...
oh yeah, i forgot to mention! the story was also written pretty well. instead of infodumping a lot, they actually did do a lot of "show, don't tell" and that made me pretty pleased :)
it had its flaws, of course, being slightly cringy and all, but if you look past it, it's a really great movie. i watched it over 3 times now just to listen to the songs? i fear i'll be listening to them a lot more.

︵︵ helpful tips for beginners(･ω･*)
bit of a long read, but i'd say it's worth it !
but if you still want to learn but don't want to read too much, i added a tl;dr bit after each point!
trading etiquette and tips
1. general trading etiquette
Show
hidden content
maybe you
saw a pretty cool looking shiny pokemon, or a lot of pokedollars
for trade. before offering on something you want, check below the
trade to see if the person left a comment about what they're
looking for.
most of the time, traders are ONLY looking for what's specified in their trade comment. pokedollar, nuggets, gems, legendary summons, and mystery items are some of the common things being sought for in the gts!
but what if you don't have anything specified in the comment? what if the trader is looking for nuggets, but you don't have any to spare, but you could totally offer pokedollar instead?
don't immediately offer what isn't what they're looking for, instead, check the trader's profile if they are okay with being messaged (it could be in their profile page, likely as "palpads open, friendlist only" or "pms open". if they are open to you, you can send them a message about their trade to see if they're okay with what you're offering!
an example of such a message could be:
feel free to add any details you'd like to the message as long as it's kind and courteous. make sure the subject is related to your message! something like "GTS Trade" or "Trade for _" would be fine! but why do we do this? because trades SPECIFICALLY stating that are looking for something may not accept your offer if it isn't what they're looking for. making it clear with the trader helps avoid misunderstandings and also helps negotiation!
here's a quicker section, though! don't lowball! now, what is lowballing, exactly? lowballing is offering something quite obviously not worth what a trade is (an example is offering 500 pokedollar under a pokemon that's worth 500,000.) but what if you don't know what something is worth? how do you stop lowballing if you don't even know how much to offer in the first place?
no need to worry! there are helpful resources like toothie's price check guide, although slightly outdated, it works well! you can also use stonks!
but.. how do you use stonks? by simply entering the name of the pokemon/item! for shiny/mega-able/shadow types of pokemon, you'll need to add shiny/mega-able/shadow to the pokemon! like so:
for items, just put the entire item name in! that way, you'll find out the worth of something in pokedollar, and then you can compare that to the worth of your items to see how much you need to give to have an equal offer!
another quick bit is never beg for items/pokemon! when you want something, you need to work for it. never spam someone's messages with "pls can i have _" or "pls can i have 500,000 pokedollar pls pls pls". simple reason why not to: it gets irritating to the users you are begging to, especially if they have "no begging for items" in their profile page.
summary: don't immediately offer if you don't have something a trainer is looking for. check their profile instead, and if it states or has their private messages/palpad open, then message them about your offer and see if it'll be fine with them. don't beg for items or pokemon, and don't lowball on items.

2. get more trades done!
Show
hidden content
everyone wants to get their trades done, am
i right? here are a few tips on getting them done more often! these
aren't 100% guaranteed to work, but they're pretty effective (at
least for me)
i. be clear with what you want!
do you want an assortment of random offers? pokedollar only? nuggets and pokedollar? good pokemon and pokedollar? or something ultra specific? make that clear in the "comment" when setting up your trade. just a simple "LF nuggets", "pokedollar" or "LF shiny lunala" can do the trick! it doesn't need to be too much!
ii. know worth!
different pokemon and items are worth different things. use stonks (mentioned in the previous tip), just scroll until you see the bits related to stonks, if you don't want to read the whole thing. offering something for an equal exchange makes it way more likely for people to make offers!
iii. private messages & palpad
ever seen someone say "pm to split" or "pp/pm" in their trade comment? that's reffering to palpads and private messages. the palpad is located in the top right bar. it's the red and white book looking icon! the private messages are located under the community tab, and sometimes on the top right side of the bar when you have a new private message.
you can keep these open so people can negotiate with you when you have a trade, especially trades with lots of items! "pp/pm to split" refers to letting users palpad or private message you to split the items in a trade.
summary: be clear with what you want and specify it in the trade comment when setting up trades, know the worth of what you're trading by using stonks (mentioned in previous tip, feel free to backread up until you spot a short tutorial to use stonks), and lastly, utilize private messages and palpad for trade negotiations and contacting for splitting items.

3. item market
Show

wanna
make some quick pokedollar? i've got a couple tips.
i. sell low
players gravitate towards lower prices. the items that are priced lowest are shown first, above all others. when setting up an item trade, it'll show you the lowest price. setting your trades to be around 100-500 pokedollar makes it more likely for users to buy.
ii. bulk deals
stocking up on many of the same item can help you get more money. by selling 50 gems instead of five, people might choose to buy more, considering many users tend to buy items in bulk. you'll get bigger payouts!
summary: lower your item prices just a little bit, try and make sure that it's the lowest price offered. try to sell things in bulk for bigger payouts.
