  • Recently whilst browsing a well known auction site for a cheap copy of X (or another Y) I stumbled across people selling Pokemon. Normally I wouldn't bother with this type of thing, but being as Vicitni, Meloetta, Keldeo and such are unobtainable now by conventional means, and people don't seem keen to trade them, I dare say I'm tempted.

    Where does the community stand on this? Is it acceptable to acquire pokemon in this way?

  • This pokemon community forum is firmly against the notion of selling/buying pokemon data through financial means. I once saw a post made by a new member who thought it was a bright idea to sell their breeding service for a quick buck. It got closed by the moderators pretty quickly and they respectfully warned him about the forum rules.
    As for event legendaries, I managed to acquire all of them simply through trading in this forum and having a lot of patience. Heck, I even seen someone in the thread requesting a free mew and got it (it's been cloned).
    My advice to you would be to either Matsuda Method a shiny pokemon and offer it in the trading thread or wait patiently for the next distribution event.

  • Well, if that's not relevant and ironic I don't know what is! Sebastian being 'Rocket Grunt' - thought Team Rocket were all for getting rich selling Pokemon? :P


    Guess I'll leave it then.
    I've managed to get everything now except Meloetta! Why do shinies take such an absurdly long time!
     

    Nah

    I just wanna say that's highly against the rules to sell things (and/or to ask people to sell you something) on this site. We don't care so much what you do on other sites.

  • I find it dumb to buy/sell pokemon. If everything else fails and you want a specific pokemon, you can just generate it through GTS (idk if it works in Gen 6, but you can transfer from Gen 5 in that case), i only ever did it for in game events or event pokemon i lost when i deleted my save data to replay the game out of boredom.
