Hello there,

Players sometimes make mistakes while trading, and this can happen quite easily. Players may accidentally select the wrong Pokémon, item, or even the wrong player. It can also happen that a player completes a trade without properly noticing or remembering whom they traded with.

Recently, I have noticed players having to spend a lot of time trying to figure out who they traded with after something went wrong. Because of this, I would like to suggest adding a Trade History feature.

The idea is that every player should be able to access a private history of their own completed trades.

The history could show:

• Trading partner's IGN

• Date and time of the trade

• Pokémon given

• Pokémon received

• Items given

• Items received

• Item quantities

• Trade status (completed/cancelled)

• Possibly a unique Trade ID for each completed trade

Uses and Benefits

1. Identifying the Trading Partner
If a player doesn't remember whom they traded with, they can simply check their history instead of trying to remember the player's name.

2. Accidental Trades
Players can sometimes select the wrong Pokémon, item, or player. The history would allow them to immediately check exactly what was traded.

3. Finding a Previous Trade
If someone traded a Pokémon or item some time ago and wants to know when or with whom they traded it, they could easily find the transaction.

4. Checking What Was Received
Players sometimes make multiple trades in a short period and may forget exactly what they received from each trade. The history would provide a clear record.

5. Resolving Misunderstandings
If two players remember a trade differently, the history can help the player verify their own side of the transaction instead of relying entirely on memory.

6. Helping With Staff Reports and Resolving Small Issues Independently
If a player needs to report a trade-related issue, they could provide the exact IGN, date, time, and traded Pokémon/items. This would make reports much easier for staff to understand and investigate.

At the same time, not every trade mistake needs to become a staff report. Sometimes players may simply realize afterward that they traded the wrong Pokémon or item, forgot whom they traded with, or misunderstood a transaction. With a Trade History, they could check the details themselves and potentially contact the other player directly to resolve the issue.

This could help players solve small misunderstandings or accidental trades on their own, while allowing staff to focus on more serious cases that actually require investigation. It could also reduce the workload of Trade Moderators by reducing unnecessary reports about minor trade-related issues.

7. Account Security
If someone gains unauthorized access to an account and makes trades, the account owner could check their Trade History and identify transactions they don't recognize.

8. Disconnect or Connection Issues
If a player disconnects around the time of a trade, they could check their history afterward to confirm whether the trade was successfully completed.

9. Tracking Valuable Trades
Players who frequently trade valuable Pokémon or items could use the history as a reliable record of their transactions.

10. Finding Players Again
If a player wants to contact someone they traded with previously, they could find the person's IGN through their trade history.

11. Useful for Frequent Traders
Players who make many trades every day would have an organized record instead of having to remember every transaction.

12. Search and Filtering
If possible, the history could include filters for IGN, Pokémon, item, and date, making it easy to find a specific transaction.

13. Trade ID for Support
Giving every completed trade a unique Trade ID would make it even easier for staff to locate a specific transaction in their logs.

Privacy

The Trade History should be visible only to the player themselves. Other players should not be able to view someone's personal trade history. Staff could still access the necessary server-side information when investigating reports.

This feature would not need to provide an undo or trade-reversal option. It would simply give players a reliable record of their own transactions.

Overall, I think a Trade History would be a very useful quality-of-life feature. It could prevent confusion, help players identify accidental trades, reduce unnecessary trade-related reports, improve account-security awareness, and save both players and staff a lot of time.

This is just an idea I had, but I thought it could be a useful quality-of-life feature for players and could also help reduce unnecessary work for Trade Moderators.

Kind Regards,

+1

This is a huge +1 from me.

I have always wanted a in-game trade history and tbh I don't mind one on dashboard or something. This helps a lot, especially for the part where you need to recall the date and the user of a trade.

Sometimes the only way to stay connected is by adding each other in friend request and for someone like me if I don't visit my friend list for a while and see that person in a while I will probably remove them without realising why I added them and who they even are.

I believe it's actually a really good suggestion and would help a lot.
