Why all the high bidding for a Pokémon in GTS
 
For the first time I used the GTS, I noticed that the pkmn that are placed for trading, the OT or the person who placed that pkmn, wants a high level, especially a lvl. 100, pkmn in return.

what's up with that? I mean, it's not normal. Why would anyone ask a lvl. 100 Persian (example), for a lvl. 1 Piplup.

I'm new with this and all I want are the starters, 'cause I started with Turtwig. But I'm not willing to trade a lvl. 100 pkmn for a lvl. 1 pkmn.

That person is probably cloning. they need a rediculous pokemon in return so it doesnt get traded off. you find it in every pokemon you look for
to teach cloners a lesson i usually give them the pokemon they look for XD

Some people are so slack they cant raise pokemon themselves and the think they can get whatever they want

Master Exploder September 4th, 2007 4:03 AM

I HATE those people! They're pathetic! Once when i needed glameow, i went onto the gts to search for it, and ALL of the people with one (yes, all) wanted either a Mew, Deoxys, Dialga or Palkia! Ugh! It's so pathetic!

DarkWraith September 4th, 2007 4:24 AM

I know its soo stupid aint it, but oh well just find a decent normal person on here or something to trade with.

PKMN Trainer Joe o.o September 4th, 2007 4:38 AM

I find it more stupid when someone is offering something like, uh, say, Rayquaza for a Croagunk. That just cracks me up xD

DarkWraith September 4th, 2007 5:00 AM

yeh man thats does come across as pretty lame and pointless

Ichida September 4th, 2007 6:31 AM

Because kids are stupid and greedy.

One of my most funny moments in GTS was when I was looking for a legend apparently I found one and they wanted a lv.100 Luxray for it. I had a Lv.100 Luxray which was going to be traded off either way since I needed a better team. Basically, he learned his lesson and lost his legend XD

Lmao, right on the spot

From all these time playing pokemon and visiting the GTS, I have found no legit lv100s

Denizen September 4th, 2007 8:13 AM

Most people don't seem to get the idea that the person trading on the other side is looking for a good deal. Either that or it's cloning.

The problem with cloning is that good, reasonable deals are CONSTANTLY overshadowed by morons asking for mew. If I get AR, i'll make tons of level 1 mews and steal as many pokemon as I can - those people will steal other cloners, and i shall reign supreme as the Lord of Evil....or something.

But damn, it's so hard to find stuff like "Scyther for Pinsir" now. Those are good deals.

Ichida September 4th, 2007 8:14 AM

I only used the GTS for Honey Tree Pokemon like Munchlax and Combee. Once I got all those, I was done with the GTS permanently.

simple answer is that they are cloning. usually ask for a level 100 Magikarp etc.
things people wont have.
sorry if someone already answered this.. im scanning through to answer questions.

akatsuki9 September 4th, 2007 1:03 PM

i ocassionly do that if im bored or going someplace for a long time so i get a good pokemon

Shiraishi September 4th, 2007 1:42 PM

I occasionally find some nice deals on the GTS(Cressy for one of my MANY Staryus due to IV breeding? HELL YES!)

ultranerd57 September 4th, 2007 2:38 PM

haha
 
does anyone have a lv 9 and under mew so i can get a darkrai? XD kidding they piss me off because to get a skorupi once all i found were guys wanting mew or a legendary

Denizen September 4th, 2007 2:52 PM

For the next generation, they need "wanted pokemon" filters.

murasamune September 4th, 2007 6:55 PM

they should really FIX the GTS
maybe they will when they launch the site

fix is: no asking for a lvl 9 and under mew. its not possible and it shouldn't be an option to ask for it.

i know they aren't going to do it but it'd be nice

That doesn't work, I've tried it.

That, and that you could search for what people want. Like if you had a spare Chimchar, you could search for people that want a Chimchar for their pokemon.

Yeah, it's really annoying when you're searching for something simple like an Aipom and everyone wants a Palkia. x_x

But I've also found many good deals with enough searching. ;)

Kim Do-yeon September 5th, 2007 7:04 AM

Also people on GTS do this to get the evolved forms aswell like in this example:

Deposit = Haunter
Seeking = Starly Lv100

Put Haunter up for trade using Pokémon Pearl then puting in there Pokémon Diamond with a hacked Lv100 Starly commit to trade then they have a Gengar which they have been looking for!

TomH September 5th, 2007 8:21 AM

Yeah, the thing that sucks about GTS is it has a search function made for morons, and so you cant even see all the reasonable trades, you just end up with everyone asking for insane stuff... I just really hope they fix the search function so we can at least see all the trades...

mewmaxwii September 5th, 2007 8:29 AM

if u clone your pokemon, it wont become a hack will it? coz it will be exactly the same.

Kim Do-yeon September 5th, 2007 8:35 AM

It is classed as cheating to clone Pokémon but it is still legit because they still have the same stats, name, location caught, trainer name, trainer id, secret id and movepool!
