In my experience, those don't work. For well over a week I had a topic up there listing the large amount of good stuff I was willing to trade and asking for a Shadow Raikou in return. And for well over a week, it was completely ignored. In the end, I had to seek out a Shadow Raikou and make the trade myself. I also posted in someone else's trade topic, stating that I offered a number of good Pokémon for their Raikou, and the guy seems to have forgotten that he ever made the topic. The Raikou's still up for trade. Less than 1% of the PTD Wiki members actually use the trade forum, so why bother? More people are gonna see article comments, so I don't get why we can't just ask for trades here.
