TradeLocal helps retro handheld players find each other locally to trade in person. We focus on games where trading happens through cable or wireless link, including Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on Nintendo Switch Online, which don't support online trading.
We're starting with the Pokémon community because that's where local trading matters most. Over time we plan to support other retro handheld games that rely on in person trading.
You list the games and items you have available to trade and what you're looking for. We show you nearby players whose lists overlap with yours. You message them within the app, or on Instagram, and arrange to meet in a public place that works for both of you.
Always meet in public spaces: cafés, game stores, libraries, or community spaces. Bring a friend if you can. Trust your instincts, and never share personal information beyond what's needed to coordinate the meet up. We'll publish a fuller safety guide before the beta opens.
We're starting in NYC and North Jersey first, then expanding city by city based on waitlist demand. Join the waitlist below and we'll email you when your area opens.
