Description
First off, great application. I think it’s a good solution for those who want to store their pokemon without relying and paying Nintendo for the privilege.
This is just a shower thought request that came across me, so forgive me if this is a bit out of scope for the application.
I would like to request for cross-application trading feature in OpenHome.
I think that the OpenHome tracking number and its extra metadata also makes it great for trading with other users.
Sure, we can just hack a pokemon in, but what’s the fun in that? Plus, I think it’s neat to be able to have a record of every trainer that a pokemon went through. Gives it a little bit of history, no?
Describe the solution you'd like
A GTS-like way of trading pokemon. I imagine the user flow to be something like this:
- The user creates a trade request with a pokemon in their OpenHome box.
- The user specifies the pokemon that they want: (a) species, (b) level, (c) gender, (d) region origin, (e) shininess
- The trade request gets uploaded to the GTS, including the pokemon, for a set amount of days.
- The request gets posted to an in-app bulletin board that looks similar to https://pkmnclassic.net/gts/
- Another user clicks on the bulletin board post and that starts a trade.
- The other user uploads a pokemon that matches the criteria.
- The current trainer data is appended as additional metadata (this is aside from the OT data) to each pokemon and is, then, traded.
- The original user can check the status of the trade and download the traded pokemon from the GTS.
