4th Gen Global Terminal Station Related Woes !

[Morgnarok]

So ya i just got a level 17 turtwig in a wifi trade using the global Trade Station.I traded a Abra level 11 for it.

The turtwigs nickname was AAA...
I hate it when i get pokemon in a trade with nicknames or just plain out dumb crap.

What about you ?

Edit by Erik:
This thread was merged from two very similar threads both of which featured complaints about the GTS. I see no reason to have multiple, so I merged them. :D

I hate it when I say look for a Stunky and they want a lv 100 Legend for it and I'm like in what world is that going to happen?
and yeah I hate the idiotic nicknames as well

 

[biancafanboy]

The nicknames annoy me, I never trade if the pokemon has a nickname. I think the nickname rater should remove nicknames no matter what, not just if he doesn't like it.

 

[Hatsuharu]

The nicknames; and someone wanted a level 100 Palkia for their level 25 Primplup, I was like wth??

 

[Eurydice]

i hate trying to find pokemon on the gts. everyone wants a level 100 pokemon for like a caterpie

 

[Alternative]

GTS is annoying like that. Most reason people do it though is because they want foreign Pokemon. But it is annoying when someone says "I ONLEY WANT A L3V3L 10 M3W FOR MAH BIDOF!!11!11 OMG WTF LOL"

Don't you hate it when Team Galactic steals your Honey so they can attract Pokemon in great numbers?

 

[Hatsuharu]

I like asking people on here more than relying on the GTS.

I was using the GTS Trade Evoultion Method, so I had to trade this guy my female Combee for a male Combee (already n00bish enough) and when I get it, it's nickname was , . Seriously, it was a comma. The GTS is ridiculous. Look up, say Zubat. You'll find "Zubat lvl. 1 Wanted: Celebi Lv. 100" and stuff like that. It's actually very hard to make an ACTUAL trade on there because a vast majority of requests are the ones a said earlier.

The GTS is destroyed by greed. It is now worthless unless you are lucky enough...

Fortunately, I got a Japanese Mankey off it. XD

I do hate silly nicknames. I got a Luxray called Kitty with a smiley face.

 

[CakeForTheSoul]

Uh Honestly its massive retardation. I just wanted to collect Lugia. I traded a nicknamed Lugia and I got a nicknamed one back not to mention it was named "Skyweasel".
I swear if I ever find the kid who did I going to beat his @$$!

If the GTS returns in BW I really hope we can search for what other people want.

I happen to love ridiculous nicknames, in fact, I'll name a Pokemon something stupid for the sole purpose of trading it on the GTS.

I hate it when I get a Pokemon from GTS with a racist NickName. I got a Ludicolo and you do not want to know what it's NN was.

I have an Idea but thats just messed up.

 

[shininglatios217]

Finding a shiny Charmeleon Lv100 in the GTS and the trainer was looking for a female Piplup (that was the second most stupid trade I have seen in the GTS that is actually possible) and I also found Lv4 Regigigas that have a nickname I don't want to write. They were asking for Lv 9 and under Bibarel.

I thought after seeing that, "What the hell is happening with the GTS?"

 

[Morgnarok]

I got about 3 diffrent trades of turtwigs from gts just today and all of them had nicknames and one had a Hm move tought to it at level 1 so whats the point of gta anymore they just screw up pokemon

 

[Westie7]

Back when I had access to the GTS, when I traded it was simply for female Pokes to breed. I honestly didn't care about any of their stats, just that it was a female. I lost my connection to the GTS, though, so I can't trade anymore.

 

[G-Virus]

I agree with most you guys. I've seen people have level 1 Bidoofs and asking for a Darkrai -_-...

And on a sidenote if nicknames: My friend traded me his Dialga, and it was nicknamed "Time ROAR!". Nonetheless, it had the moves Cut and Slash -.-.

 

[Glane Lettuce and Tomato]

Doesn't bother me.
Unless I'm trading for a simple addition to the Dex or for an Evolution obtainable through trading, I just breed whatever i get so I can make it my own, rather than someone else's.

Unless it's a shiny.
The GTS is actually a good way to advertise. I've put Shinys up for trade who were nicknamed with my forum's web address. It was short enough to fit.

Hahaha, kudos to you!
I can't use the GTS since I have no wifi to use but man, some of the trades I hear people talking about... it's so ridiculous.

But yeah, if I'm going to trade with a friend or something I insist upon giving nicknames.
I like to trade simply for the sake of trading :3 It's sorta cute having a someone else's butterfree or whatever.

 

[Weavile05]

I got a croagunk named Boufon once.
WTF kinda nickname is that?
I also once got a ditto named two faces.
I sorta understand that one, but it's still a bit ridiculous.
