I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I wanted to make this a topic of discussion that I'm sure has been brought up a ton.
Has there been any talk about incorporating a safer way to do trade evolutions? I'm a new player and I want to start doing trade evolutions, but my problem, like every other person, is that I have a hard time trusting people I do not know. I do not play this game with people I do know, and I overall just do not trust people I meet on the net. I know that staff members and "trusted" players offer to trade evolve, but I do not always see them present in-game, but I do always see people requesting evolutions.
Now at first I thought I could easily work myself around this problem (if I were to be scammed) by receiving a refund from a valid report, but a GM just informed me that Pokemon are not refundable because there is no possible way to take the Pokemon off an account, therefore wasting the time of the person who trained the Pokemon. Sure a ban may seem like it suffices but not for the person who put time and effort into training a Pokemon; This goes especially if the Pokemon has high stats. In the end you feel more punished than the person who scammed you.
So I ask this again.
Are there any plans for a secure trade evolution system?
