I REALLY dislike voice chat...

A lot of people wondered why I am so protective with my Friend Codes. I now got experience as to why I do not wish to just give out my Friend Code to anybody.

This happened: I simply wanted to trade with another person in Pokemon Black/White, but the voice chat was on. I did not want to seem rude, and I did not know how to turn off the voice chat, so I just went with things. (The fact that I stayed out of politeness should have been a clue as to what problems were imminent.) Since I have problems talking with others, my benefactor deemed me very, very, very, very weird. Eventually we traded (Patrat for a Tepig my benefactor was willing to throw away), but things got painful. My benefactor even wanted me to trade me a Bulbasaur, but we both agreed that my benefactor deserved a better Pokemon. We disrupted connections after the Tepig trade, though. The worst thing was that my benefactor wanted my age. *holds Evoker to head*

I still want to give my benefactor an awesome Pokemon for his Bulbasaur as an "apology trade," but I do not want to do voice chat, especially with strangers again... I kinda want to cry, even though I am a boy... I just want to vent.

Hm. If you are able to message them or something, just tell them to turn off voice chat before you go in (and instantly shut yours off) because it makes you uncomfortable. I did that when I did WiFi trades. There IS that option in Pokemon Black, right?
 
I hate voice chat but not in a frightened, scared way...I just prefer text.
What's so terrible about actually voice chatting? Sounds like you should do it more just to build some confidence, lol.
 
This is just it: this is my first time trading through Friend Codes, so I did not know the controls or anything.
Also, had I been trading with an online friend that I knew and talked (since Friend Codes are meant to be exchanged with people whom I know and trust), I would have been more confident. This was meant to be strictly business, but I did not know what to do.
 
How old are you, 12? He might have just been curious when he asked due to the way you were acting (or just making conversation as the poketrade happened), it doesn't mean he's a pedophile.
 
See, when you have voice chat on and you have to deal with it, mess with people.

Please explain. (I know that I only have myself to blame, but...)

Mess with the guy, make him feel extremely uncomfortable.

I guessed you meant that. Thank you. (I might try that in another time with other people, though that approach is going to be a gamble, though...)
The good thing out of this, though, is that my Tepig already had Curse, Flame Charge, and Wild Charge at Lv. 1! I know that he got those due to him being from an Egg, but...
