Long Distance Trading Trial

Source (and also via my local PoGo Discord channel, PoGo itself, and I'm expecting an email any time now...)

Trainers,

As a limited-time test, from Thursday, November 12, 2020, at 2:30 p.m. until Monday, November 16, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. PST (GMT −8), trade range will be increased! Depending on information gathered from this test, we may include increased trade range as a part of future events.

It’s time to trade, Trainers!

Which means it's live now!

I know I've got more than a few overseas lucky friends; feel free to use this post to try and set up trades!

Edit: Guess who misinterpreted the number 😅 It's still way better than 100m, though.

My user name is SigmaUFO; I'm in Iowa, which is roughly in the middle of the United States, so I should be able to complete a lot of trades with Europe, but Australia might be out of my reach.

I'm busy on Saturday, but other than that I've got a very flexible schedule at the moment, so if anyone wants to make good on a lucky trade, I'm happy to set something up!

Alas, it seems to be currently limited to a 12 km radius. Maybe if Niantic gets enough positive responses, they will increase it, or make special trade weekends?

*facepalm* Ack, I think my brain doubled the thousands place in "kilometers". Well, I can still do some trading with locals that I couldn't before, so that's something!

AHA!!!

even at 12k, it's been super neat! So many special trades that have built up over lockdown going forward without having to meet up!
