Seriously I have had 4 pokemon stolen from me and I feel like smashing my DS because of it. How the -blam!- can people seem to think that getting traded a pokemon that needs traded to evolve suddenly = I can keep it.
I have lost a Alakazam, Machamp, Spritzee evolution and a gigalith. All I want to do is fill my pokedex and yet I got these -blam!-ers stealing my pokemon.
I refuse to trade anything that requires an item to be held at the same time or something I cannot get in the wild.
Has this happened to you? Or are you one of the -blam!-ers that steal them? I think I have only had 1 guy trade back n forth with me to evolve our pokemon turns out he was a rare person.

I learned this early. Playing RuneScape I had just got some shiny new mithril armor (which back in the day was not frowned upon) and a guy in Falador offered to trim it for me. Thankfully my father imbued my young mind with some common sense and I politely declined. He made a fuss and left. Later I befriended people by helping them out after getting scammed out of their armor. Point: Don't trade a random person anything valuable and don't trade an online friend valuable stuff unless you are 100% sure they won't scam you. I've heard too many stories of locals even screwing over their friends and ending that precious relationship for an expensive online item. Ridiculous.
