Fixed Direct passerby trading not working. Workaround included.

[James-Luke Schlebach]

I am able to glitch the pokegear to enable to local trading feature,
I can replicate it and it is very easy. I would like to share with you guys how
I do it but before I do that I would like to know if it will be available next update or if you will just
patch the bug so we cannot do local trading anymore?
EDIT: HERE IS THE METHOD
Well what I did was open the PSS passerby list and select the player whom I want to trade with and then highlight and hit enter on the trade option, I then hit E to get out of that screen and I then navigated to my friends list (if nobody is online out of your friends navigate to the rank list to find an online player) and selected and opened an online player, the trade button is not greyed out so I hit enter and it sets up a trade with the selected player in the passerby section.

You make it sound as if you will only reveal the bug if you know that it won't get patched.

I will reveal the bug when I get an answer to my question, regardless of the answer.

Then what purpose if any does withholding the information serve in the first place?

I kinda think direct trading was supposed to work this update
so if you could tell us the glitch it might help nilllzz know why it didnt work....

I was in JL's server while he taught us, but I couldn't get the trade button to do anything XD

I guess that answers my question...

If you want to test this out I am online on my server now so try and setup a trade with me

Im confused about how this is a glitch. Are u saying u think ur glitching it to let u trade with people on the same server that arent on ur friends list cause that is what u are supposed to be able to do this patch.

Well, when you try to do it it won't work, Nilllzz also said you have to trade via the passerby screen but everything is greyed out so it isn't implemented yet. This glitch allows you to trade anyone on the server if somebody in the top 100 rank list is online or a friend is online

This is a quote from the patch notes "Direct Trading: This allows players on the same server and the same connection type (GameJolt or not GameJolt) to trade Pokémon. You can initialize a trade via the PokéGear. Open the Pokégear, select PSS, scroll to the left and select a player in the PSS Passby list."
So it sounds like to me that its a bug with direct trades not working when they should not a glitch.

Well they aren't working and this glitch gets it working.

So the glitch is a way to enable a feature that should be working, but isn't?

Yes, he showed me how to get it to work. This is, in fact, not how it was intended to be

 

[leeloozete]

I can confirm that
I was on JL's server and I tested the glitch myself

Well yes, I do think nilllzz had the intention of being able to use the passerby screen but every option underneath a players name is greyed out for everybody. This is just a quick method of being able to use the trade screen when it is greyed out.
