Or maybe even allow each player to put up a requested Pokemon so the other can offer one if they wish to. Maybe they could make it so you can put your offer up and if declined change it without ending the whole trade and having to start again. I have loads of Pokemon I would trade but I have no idea what you might want so you could end up offering and declining all day.

Unless you happen to befriend someone on another platform like Reddit. I do have other problems with the process because you can't discuss the trades before starting one. I think maybe limit it 2 trades per day and they must be different players but drop the distance entirely. I don't know all of the rules around trading except the distance and that you can only do one special per day I think. All of my friends live overseas including the 3 lucky ones I have. I have only traded a few times with one friend whom I actually knew and one I met through Reddit but both no longer play and also have moved away. I think I'd make it unlimited but limit in other ways.
