A glimmering of thought

I figured it out the hard way, by accidentally trading away my starter pokémon. I'd cringe, but I was planning on trading it for the Froakie anyway. You have to go through the yellow PSS screen on the bottom screen, then on a tiny folder at the top, then go over a page to GTS, which is about global trading. You'd think it'd be the trade button, or the wonder trade button, but nooooo. Wonder Trade, it turns out, is a blind, random trade. You put up whichever one you want to give, and then trade it for a random one someone else decided to give. Fun, if you know about it ahead of time...
