Bulbagarden is pleased to announce the opening of its Trade Center on the Bulbagarden Forums. The Trade Center will allow forum members to offer and seek Pokémon and items via the Nintendo DS's Wi-Fi connection.

By providing this service, Bulbagarden hopes to expand its reach into the real game market by facilitating a safe trading environment with a wide variety of options for trading to its users. The ability to declare a Pokémon hacked or real is a significant improvement over Nintendo's Template:BP, which leaves that issue ambiguous before a trade occurs. Like the GTS, trade can occur internationally via Bulbagarden's Trade Center, as long as versions are compatible.

It is open to all forum members with an account; registration to the Bulbagarden Forums is available here.
