Thank you. There are still a couple flaws I'd like to work out but I tried to plan for everything when it came to trading with files and what someone could possibly do with it. If I missed anything, please let me know.
Also, any issues please let me know. I tested trading between different games between v20 and v21 without issues but that doesn't mean they might not exist. It was recommended adding some kind of trainer verification, either a password or matching the trainer id before allowing the trade so I might add that option later, as well as adding compatibility with my trading charm for those who want it.(because it wouldn't much make sense for me to make a trading plugin without compatibility with a trading charm) I'm going to rework parts of the code while I'm adding these changes and make it a little prettier. This release I tried to focus on maximum readability so people could have an easier time following along with what was happening, thus the numerous small methods instead of 3 big ones.

Wow, it's a very neat idea. Offline trading. Though in a world which currently went offline, I reckon for people in small, closed by communities this would be perfect. Imagine all of the kids in your neighborhood playing your fangame and offline trading with each other?

Could you just clarify exactly how this is used in-game? Perhaps with a screenshot of an example event, please? I think I'm missing something when I try to implement it since I'm getting thrown crashes when I try to call the method.

I made some changes to the script. The script now asks the player to save before exporting a Pokemon. This prevents the player from abusing soft reset to generate infinite copies of a Pokemon for trading. I also corrected a typo that was preventing the 'clear' command from working. Get my version of the script here.
