Hm, I had a similar idea some months ago, but then observed on Serebiiforums what the big surprise Joe has been planning since... February? was.
Since I know my site has no chance in competing against Serebii and Smogon, I would like to help you on this. I have some knowledge on php and mysql, but I don't think I can do much for you in those things (would still be glad to help there out something).
Ideas (some already mentioned, my concept is based on a personal page for each user):
1.- Every user can place a list of wishes and of offers.
2.- Every user can place his personal information (nickname, location, game's language, age, etc).
3.- List of offers and wishes. Search system by Pokemon, gender, attacks, IVs, nature...
4.- Friend Code exchanging system. Each user could make an offer just by clicking on the Pokemon the other user offers. The message would communicate the other user the offer and the Friend Code of the first user. When the message is read, it demands an answer to the second user. If "yes", the new friend is enlisted on his personal friends section, if "no", trade is forgotten. It would still send a message to the first user, to confirm the trade or not.
5.- Karma system. The system is originally designed for "friends", so a karma system would be needed in order to promote reliability within trades. The friend confirmation system could collaborate on this, for example, giving a 5 time period to make the trade. If it is not made, you get negative karma points as you (both) are not reliable. If some karma points are given to you by the other user, you get those karma points (always less than the penalty gotten for not making the trade). If you forget to give karma to your counterpart, you get a penalty as well.
--> This is the only way to place some control over trades, since we have not access to what's really happening in the WiFi system. Of course, if some players suspiciously trade with each other repeteadly, they get negative points or even banned.
6.- Prizes for getting to a certain karma level (should be time limited as well). Nothing serious, perhaps access to a VIP chat room, to exclusive battle tournaments, to promotional Pokemon (if you don't mind getting them pseudo-hacked and don't have a hacking device by yourself), and such.
7.- Battle tournaments. This could imply informing about your team on your personal page, or not. Only one tournament at the same time, karma is rewarded (prizes as well), not obeying the rules or playing on time could get negative karma points, as well as not confirming win or loss, or both incoherently confirming win (gets you out of the tournament, gets many negative karma points). A minimum of karma should be asked to enter these ones.
The concept is all based on karma, it may be very difficult to implement, but I think it could work. I still am very skeptical on all this (see end of this post), but I hope it gives you some ideas (if not, I don't care =P)
