re: I'll break the ice: Pokémon X and Y

yep, it's an eevee egg when you mix an eevee and a jolteon.
got a party full of eevee eggs last night, rode over to Lumiose City, got to a section where the road was wide, and started riding my bike in a circle doing donuts. stuck a penny under my circle pad to stick it in that direction, and when I came back they started hatching.
lol, now I have a full fledged eevee breeding service!
funny thing is, I have only got the second gym badge, so these pokemon I am getting in GTS for eevee are such high level, they won't listen to me, hahaha.
anybody needs an eevee or 2, let me know.
I can also breed charmanders and bulbasaurs, and am looking for a female squirtle to be able to breed those.

In the normal trade screen, like when you are trading with another person, and not on the GTS, is there a way to bring up a chat to tell them what you are looking for, or a way to browse through their pokemon to see if they have anything you might want?
So far, all I can figure out to do is select one of my pokemon to "show" them and wait to see what they put up to "show" me.
