I know I've been asking a lot of questions lately but I promise I'm learning from them!

I was wondering how I could tell when my friends are online on Pokemon. Is the only way to schedule a trade by other means of communication? I've been using the PMs on this site to communicate with my friends and schedule trades with them. Is there any way I can just look on my DS and it'll tell me if that friend is online and/or can I send them messages?

That would be extremely useful if they don't already have it.

When you go into the wi-fi room, it says Invite and Disconnect. If there's any of your friends online, they'll be displayed, and you can do voice chat to send messages; but people don't usually like that. :)

You can never ask too many questions. :P

Also, lots of people look in the Sinnoh Region questions thread, so that's always a good place to ask. :)

Okay thanks for the help and advice.
