I'm after HA Bulbasaur and Squirtle if those are going. :)

Actually, seeing as I'm getting Home, I'll be able to help with HA Bulbasaur.

By the way, my Home code is LPRLTKMVLNAC

Nice. Do you want a Solar Power Charmander?

Yeah, that'd be great. Let me just breed a Bulbasaur and then I want to try out this newfangled mobile phone trading.

Oh, I've sent a Friend Request to everyone who posted their code here.

Let me know if you are ready for phone trading, I can do that all day.

By the way, for phone trading I don't know if you have to both be on at the same time or that it is asynchronous like the GTS. Guess we'll find out.

No, if you want to trade with friends, you have to both be on at the same time.

And it seems that the person hosting the room needs a Premium subscription.

So @Ike, we might have to trade in-game if you don't have that.

EDIT: Seems I might be wrong. I saw Vileplume2000 pop up and it seems I can start a trade with him in the app. Impressive. I haven't actually got any of the Pokémon on your list yet. So give me a moment.

If you have a spare Meltan, I'd love that. Not essential though.

Nope, but I can't until about 9pm anyway.

I was mistaken, if both people are on the app at the same time, you can tap that name to ask them to start a trade. Really cool. Why can't Sword/Shield be that straightforward?

Was just checking my Pokémon Go, unfortunately I don't have a Meltan (really thought I had one!). May ask for that on the GTS.

It's cool. Had to try. I'm sure @Ugh first aid has loads. Huge Pokémon GO fan. Might be worth offering her something nice.

It's Valentine's Day, so maybe I should send a Luvdisc her way :grin:

OK, @Vileplume2000 got the three Pokémon and sent them to my Home Box. Gonna open the app now.

EDIT: Ah, problem. Friend Trade can only be done locally. Not so cool.

Unless you have a premium subscription, we'll have to trade in Sword/Shield.

You can buy a premium subscription with Google Play credit so might buy a sub with that.

Don't feel obligated to do that just for trades. I'm fine with trading in Sword/Shield.

@Vileplume2000, are you available on your Switch now?

This is a very good one. I have about 12 euros in my Play account and I don't know what to do with it (got it through enquiries). So this may be interesting to get it for a month and transfer stuff from X/Ultra Moon.

@Glen-i well that bites, was indeed almost to good to be true. So let's trade in Sword/Shield then. I'm not available during the day but can do tonight from around 7PM UK time.

Nah, I want to move some Pokémon from S/M anyway so will need to pay.

Like @Vileplume2000 I got a bunch of free credit for doing those survey things anyway.

@Glen-i do you still need that Bulbasaur, or did you get one when you started the home app?

I have one in my box if you do need it anyway.

Oh, that’s crappy. So there’s no point in any of us adding each other on home then? :blank:

Yeah, I'm good now. Thanks anyway.

Not necessarily, we might not be able to trade directly, but we can, um...

...look at each other's bindings? Oh, and what sprite they chose!

...woooooo!

Oh well, I can still trade directly with @Ugh first aid and @Dcubed at least, so I'll get some use out of it.

Why do I get the distinct impression that Nintendo didn't want people circumventing NSO by trading through the Home app?

Anyway, with the Alolan Starters now in circulation in Sword/Shield, if anyone here ever happens to get their hands on a Hidden Ability Rowlet or Litten, let me know.

Especially Litten, Incineroar is both a Pokémon I like and arguably one of the best starters competitively.

Just making sure @Vileplume2000. What's your trainer name again?

EDIT: Never mind, I remember.

Cheers, you saved me from having to play Let's GO. A fate worse than death.

@Ike I have your Bulbasaur hostage if you want to pick it up?

I can now. I bought a month premium if you want to try that, though I'm not bothered either way.
