Carrying this over from the regular thread... And this will be updated frequently. I'm spoiler-tagging some stuff so that only the most necessary information is out in the open. I know a lot of people are new to this, so I want to keep it simple for their sake.
What am I doing right now? As in, between now and the time I last edited?
An essay and lots of reading philosophers, psychologists, and literary critics, for one thing. I've got slammed unexpectedly hard for this early in the quarter.
But this does provide an opportunity. It turns out that I've far overstepped the stock I had and have to replenish supplies of eggs of everything that's not an R/S or D/P starter--
just to restore my stock to what's already been reserved by the 29 people below.
Thankfully, this can all be done idly while I'm reading stuff for classes, so I can multitask like that.
But unfortunately, it does mean that I'm going to have to close trading for Wednesday while I get, for both reasons--harder schoolwork than I anticipated, and the need to get enough eggs again.
So, I repeat,
no trading again until Thursday. Sorry, but it has to be done.
(Exact numbers of what I need to replenish
found here.)
When would be a good time to set up a trade with me in the future?
These are all in Pacific time:
Saturday/Sunday - 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Monday/Wednesday/Friday - 11:00 AM - 2:30 PM
Tuesday/Thursday - 6:00 PM - 11:00 PM
By the way, this is important, so... I'll be the one to set up the trade invite in most cases, because I need voice chat to be off for, well, various reasons. ^^; Sorry if there's any inconvenience there.
Friend code:

The name can be Jiggy or Haruhi (the name of my character in JP Pearl) or anything you like, but the code has to be right.
What I'm trading:
The starters from all four generations--pick any three for yourself. So that's a choice from Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. If you don't know what any of these are,
Wikipedia's Starter Pokemon section may help.
Eggs are easier for me to give away in all cases except Charmander and Piplup, so if you have no real preference, I'll default to eggs. To hatch an egg, just walk around with it in your party for ~5120 steps. If you want me to hatch the Pokemon instead before trading, let me know. (I'll double-check with you anyway.)
Other details that only the hardcore may care about
:
Any Charmander I trade away has a decent chance of having either perfect HP or Attack stats because of the parents I was using to breed them. They also come with Crunch, Dragon Rush, and Dragon Claw... Moves only learned through breeding. You may or may not find them useful, but they're there.
The Chikorita and Treecko have Leech Seed, which for them is also a move only learned through breeding. Keep it on Chikorita, since it's best at taking a lot of hits and continuing on. Treecko can take it or leave it depending on what you want to do. What I want:
Anything. Give me whatever you have that you don't want--even a Bidoof or Starly.
If you want to make a donation and put a Rare Candy or a PP Up or a TM as a held item for the Pokemon you're trading me, and you're far enough in the game to have those items to begin with, that'd be great. If not, don't worry about it. This is one of my two favorite game series. I do for its community what I can.
(For those who are really concerned about these trades being unfair or one-sided...
There's no way for me to not benefit. At the absolute least, I'm getting a Pokemon from you that has a different trainer ID than mine, which helps win the daily in-game lottery, where I get PP Ups for having the last two trainer ID digits match the daily number. (PP Ups permanently increase the number of times an attack can be used before running out. Very useful.)
Who's reserved a trade spot already:
If you're on this list, I've got you accounted for. If you're not, I don't. If you sent me some request and I missed it, or I deleted it on accident, or I didn't get it, or my PM box was full when you tried to contact me, or whatever, try PMing me again. We'll make things work.
So send me a PM if:
1) You're ready to trade
2) You've been left off the list by accident
3) You've decided you want an egg or hatched Pokemon specifically
4) I wrote you down for wanting eggs/hatched when it's the other way around
