Single post in the PFQ retirement home!

Here's a PF1 horror story: I remember very soon after joining, I wanted to buy an Ice Houndour (Frosdour now). You couldn't trade credits directly, so instead the person selling it was asking for 1 Steel Bar, a quest item that could be sold for a reasonable number of credits, and could be created from something like 5 Steel Coat evolution items. At the time, you could buy evolution items from an NPC shop, but the shop had rotating stock. So I had to save up my credits, refresh the shop with my fingers crossed, buy the coats, craft the bar, give it directly to a Pokemon, and send the trade. "Good" times.
