Perhaps a better wording would be "loaning Pokemon for the purpose of breeding during the Type Race."
That said, we also draw a difference between the loan of one or two Pokemon for the length of the Type Race, and the permanent trade or gift of a Pokemon in order to form a permanent breeding pair that the player will continue to benefit from after the Type Race is over.
Asking for a Pokemon to keep, free or not, isn't a problem IF the other player has already offered to give away Pokemon for that purpose, but why is PMing the player to take them up on their offer not the go-to method for players, instead of posting in the Type Race thread? A private trade like that just... isn't the business of all the other players in the thread?
