Trade Suggestion

I think that It be good if we could to see the ID of pokemon in the moment of trade to compare with the ID shown by the other player.

I hope that you undestand me. See you.

Yes, it was suggested before and I found it a good idea, but someone answered that the game have limitations to do this change for now... ;D I hope it'll be possible in the future.

Indeed, the IDs would not be displayable in the trade window without client-side support—not stably at least, as the client is not designed to accommodate for it.

However, from my understanding, this is mainly demanded to allow you to cross-examine Pokemon to avoid IV-stat scams — scams in which players duplicitously trade a different Pokemon than what they advertised the IVs for. If that is the primary concern (correct me if I'm wrong), then it helps, as it at least indicates where to tackle the underlying problem.
