Update: no real-money offers in game below.
Hello trainers!
We have updated the
Game Rules and the
Chat Rules (October 2026) in all four languages. The big news:
real-money trading (RMT) of Pokemon, items and in-game money is now allowed.Instead of fighting it, we are making it safer. That is why we built our own site for it: the
Padventures Marketplace at
marketplace.padventures.org. Your goods wait in Padventures custody until the seller confirms the payment, and only then does the buyer receive them in game. Padventures
does not process payments and takes no fee. Markets are separate per world: Diamond with Diamond, Platinum with Platinum.
The Marketplace is live for Diamond and Platinum.
How to use the Marketplace
1. Create your Marketplace account• Go to
marketplace.padventures.org and click
Create account. You need an email, a public display name and a password. You must be 18 or older and accept the Marketplace terms.
• Confirm your email with the link we send you.
• Turn on
two-factor authentication (2FA) under
Account: scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.) and keep your recovery codes somewhere safe. Every action that moves goods (publishing, reserving, paying, confirming, sending messages) asks for a 2FA code.
The Marketplace account is separate from your game account. We never ask for your game password.
2. Link your game account• On the Padventures website, open your account page and create an
API key.
• In the Marketplace, under
Account, pick the world and enter the key id and its password.
You can link one game account per world. To trade, the linked account must be at least
60 days old, or have a character at level 150+ in that world, and have no active ban. After a game password change, trading pauses for
7 days for your safety.
3. Selling• In game, open
Market › Custody (inside a protection zone, with your PIN unlocked). Drag the Pokemon or items you want to sell, or type an amount of money (minimum
1kk), and deposit. They leave your character right away and wait in Padventures custody, up to 20 lots per character. You can withdraw any lot that is not listed, from the same window.
• On the website, open
Custody, choose a lot and click
Sell: set the
total price, the currency (USD, BRL, PLN, CLP or MXN) and the payment methods you accept. You can sell only part of a money lot or of a stack of items.
• Your offer appears on the board of that world. When a buyer reserves it, you get a notice in game and by email.
• The buyer pays you outside the Marketplace and marks the deal as paid.
Check that the money really arrived, then click
Confirm. That releases the goods to the buyer. There is no way back after that.
4. Buying• Browse the board of your world, open an offer and check the seller's completed deals and ratings.
• Click
Reserve and choose which of your characters will receive the goods. The offer is yours for
48 hours.
• Agree on the payment in the deal chat (you can attach screenshots or PDF receipts there), pay the seller and click
I paid.
• When the seller confirms, the goods are delivered to your character the next time you log in or open the custody window: Pokemon go to your locker, items to your backpack or locker, money to your bank balance.
5. Want to Buy postsCan't find what you need? Post a
Want to Buy: choose a Pokemon (with a minimum level if you want), an item or an amount of money, the most you pay in total and your payment methods. Sellers who have a matching lot in custody send you offers, and you accept the one you like. It then becomes a normal deal.
6. If something goes wrong• Either side can cancel a reservation before the payment is marked.
• If the seller does not confirm within
72 hours after the payment is marked, the deal goes to
staff review automatically, and either side can open a dispute earlier. The goods stay locked until staff decides.
• After the deal, both sides can rate each other. Ratings and completed deals are public on each trader's profile.
Update: no real-money offers in game (October 28, 2026)
Real-money trading is still allowed. Advertising it in game is not.
•
Forbidden: real-money offers in
any public in-game channel: Trade, language channels, Help, Default and Adman advertisements. No prices in real money (USD, R$, PLN...), no "RL cash", "RL money" or RMT, no payment methods (PayPal, PIX...) and no Marketplace links.
•
Allowed: buying and selling for real money through the
Padventures Marketplace or outside the game. Prices in Trade must be in in-game money or items.
•
Adman: all existing advertisements were removed. New advertisements show a confirmation window with these rules and are reviewed automatically before they are broadcast. Advertisements with real-money offers are rejected.
What changed in the Game Rules
Rule 3 is now
"Real-Money Trading (RMT) & Advertising". It used to say:
Sales of in-game items for real-life money (RMT), SMS, or items in other games is strictly forbidden.
Now it says:
• Allowed: Buying and selling Pokemon, items and in-game money for real money.
• Recommended: Use the Padventures Marketplace (marketplace.padventures.org). The goods stay in Padventures custody until the seller confirms the payment, then the buyer receives them in game. Padventures does not process payments and takes no fee.
• Outside the Marketplace: Real-money trades made anywhere else are at your own risk (see Rule 7).
• No real-money offers in game: Advertising real-money trades is forbidden in every public in-game channel (Trade, language channels, Help, Default and Adman advertisements): no prices in real money, RL cash/money, RMT, payment methods or Marketplace links. RMT itself is still allowed: publish your offers on the Marketplace website. Punished under the Chat Rules.
• Still forbidden: Selling or trading accounts/characters (Rule 2), trading Padventures goods for items or currency of other games, and advertising other games or sharing links to them.
• Punishment: Permanent Banishment (Deletion).
Rule 7 (Spam & Scams) has a new point:
Real-money trades: Staff only steps in on Marketplace disputes. Goods or money from real-money trades made outside the Marketplace are not recovered or refunded.
What changed in the Chat Rules
General Rules (all channels)Real-Money Offers: Forbidden in every public channel, including Trade and Adman advertisements: no prices in real money, RL cash/money, RMT, payment methods or Marketplace links.

Our advice
Real money payments cannot be reversed. Before you pay anyone, check their completed deals and ratings on the Marketplace, and prefer methods that leave a record. Outside the Marketplace, nobody can get your money back.
