Unfortunately I was not able to make contact with the auction winner and I will be away for the next 5 days. I put the Ribombee in my party if staff want to force the trade at any point, take care everyone!
Just wanted to say thank you for making this post, and hopefully more people will read it and give it some thought. I don't usually post in these topics because I feel like they are always unproductive and have so much unnecessary drama. Hopefully that isn't the case here, this post has my support and hopefully we can see some action to make this amazing game better!
