Hello everyone! It's very nice to "meet" you all. I just started playing...and I created this account specifically to ask one question.
I keep getting trade requests where it will say "so-and-so is requesting a trade" and I'll get a little timed window that gives me only several seconds to decide what to do. Here's the problem: I cannot see which pokemon are being offered and which of my pokemon the player is trying to trade for. I can't see any information about the actual trade offer. Just a command to accept or reject a trade in a couple seconds with no information whatsoever.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? How am I supposed to see these trades? What am I supposed to click when the dialogue box pops up? How do I get information about (like the IVs of) the pokemon being offered? I graduated college with great grades but this game has legit outsmarted me lol.
Thanks in advance for the help. I'll be thrilled if I can figure out how to actually do a trade. As a side question, can I generally trust other users on here (I'm sure it depends on the user to an extent), such that I could, for instance, trade someone my machoke (that I don't have yet) and trust that that person will return the machamp to me after it evolves? Or will someone say s/he is going to trade back my pokemon and then not give it back?
Thanks again! Happy Saturday!
