Lending Pokèmon
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Rejected → Lending PokèmonJust don't lend to people you aren't sure you can trust, or make them say that they'll give it back and go to a mod if they don't.
While it may come in handy in the offchance that you lend someone a very rare pokemon(like ditto) and they decide to disappear off the face of the earth, or get banned whatnot. Still, even this seems like a very unlikely occourance that could probably get fixed by having a talk with someone with admin abilities.
If you have friends you can trust, or people who you know that won't be scummy to you, then it just would make this redundant. Besides, it's not like most people are going to lend out Pokemon to people that are strangers to them in the first place, and for the most part as far as what I've personally gathered from this community is that there's only a small minority of people ever complaining about getting scammed, or having things stolen. It's not like it's even a big problem that goes on around here that needs drastic measures taken for it.
Also, it is true that borrowing things isn't a necessity for people to do just to complete things like dex or whatever. People can just git gud at the game and just afford to buy anything they want without needing to borrow anything in the first place, and they can wait and be patient to get things done. It's not like it's the end of the world if they don't get what they want as it's just a game lol.
So in conclusion, lending is someone's choice, and just doing so is out of their own will. NOBODY has to do it. This also wouldn't make the site anymore more kind and helpful (it already is also) if you need a dedicated system that validates people to ensure they're safe, just because you're insecure with someone and don't want to tell them "no". It's not teaching people any better with finding other nice and understanding people to associate themselves with even after they've met some bad eggs along the way that have screwed them over. I just think it's important for people to learn and have experiences as it's what makes us grow.
