Trade in pokemon go....
I'm a little confuse about this probably new feature in pokemon go. since the day when they said that trade and pvp should be realeased on the end of the year, i thought about the fly gps players using the trade system as a market, and then they said that the trade would be made with a bluetooth system and etc. , now the legendary pokemons came, and we have no news or clue about how will be or if this update will ever be released at all...
what do you guys think about that? can pokemon go have a trade system, or maybe this can destroy the game?

I would rather see a pokemon auction block. Because either way you look at it People (Spoofer above) will most likely sell High Level or High IV or Regional pokemon for money. Just do an auction block for pokemon to encourage it only be in game currency and really say F**k You to those people (Spoofer Above)
I think they would want to include their own IV checker--they don't have to grade the movesets, players could/should do that on their own. Maybe trade everything at level 20, or level 10 if the pokemon is below level 20. Especially if they don't have an easy level indicator available--3000 stardust power up too vague
I can't see any way that trading could be introduced without totally screwing up the game.
1. People who had an excess of good pokemon from raids/whatever would flood the market with them, value/motivation for going out and catching rare pokemon would be diminished.
2. There would be an economy, and people would be much more pissed off when things got changed that effected the value of their mons. With Niantic not having yet figured out how to really make gyms a reasonable but still rewarding part of the game, this would be setting a trap along the path the game would need to take, which is obviously not desirable from niantic's perspective.
3. It would turn the game into an RMT shitshow. I cannot imagine how a trading system could result in anything other than rampant RMT. Imagine, people at the big pokemon parks, with a folding table and price charts for all the big pokemon, buying low, from the kiddies, and selling for a profit to the 20- and 30-somethings who play hardcore and have money to blow.
And that's all ignoring the matter of illegit players and the flood of illegit mons as they became able to trade with people.
pvp on the other hand, can't come soon enough. We desperately need some sort of competition in the endgame.
