Why Trade???
 
I have a question, why would you trade pokemon. Well I would understand that if you tried so hard to get someone and couldn't, or if your game doesn't let you get it then trade. I mean i look at these trade threads and i see that people are actioning shiny pokemon. I think the only reason for that would be if they were hacked or cloned. I only have 3 shinies and no way am i going to clone them or trade them, I put my time into catching them and don't see me ever going to trade them. I would like it if someone was just wanting to help people like breeding starters and giving them away for free. I like to train my pokemon and if i got some in a trade i would breed them and raise them myself, it's not fun, or the reason of playing pokemon, if you get stuff by tradeing. Life is all about dificulties, and rough obsticles, not cheating.

see that's what i am talking about. I don't care that you guys trade with each other, but this is just to help the people not get ripped off. Also, lv 100 pokemon that are being traded away are a hack or someone hacked and got infinity rare candies and gave it to their pokemon.

I like your sig, how did you get all of your pictures.

yah bit who would go through all of that training and just trade them away? Righ now i am training my umbreon(lv 90 now) to be lv 100 and i don't think i will trade it. Or that the lv100s are cloned from the originall. And like i said, the fun in pokemon is training your pokemon.

Lumine October 2nd, 2007 7:14 PM

Or you could always clone them then trade for something you dont have yet-.-

Ok...Have you ever heard of the YATES 23457 shiny pokemon?

kohei October 2nd, 2007 7:22 PM

Well, you just pointed out one reason why I rarely use the wi-fi trade forums.
Too many hacked/nonlegit/cheated Pokemon here. Lack of gamer morales maybe?

I'd rather stick to wi-fi trading in places with strong restrictions on cheated Pokemon, or with people I know well.

yah, that is what i have been trying to say. I'm not saying to never use the trade threads(thats me), but be wise about people sayin that they have "legit" pokemon.

wrath October 2nd, 2007 9:36 PM

That is what i hate about the GTS u cant trade hacked PKMN but u can offer hacked pokemon and they will get traded. i once got a shiny hacked glacion "it was met at LV.51" i say in order to get hackers back is to put a hacked PKMN up for trade for Mew LV.9 and under so that they end up trading their hacked MEW for a hacked Shiny so you can trade the mew for another pokemon while the hacker got another hacked.

NekoRobin October 2nd, 2007 9:48 PM

Yes, hacking is evil.
It takes the fun out of the game :/
I think the Action Replay/Game Shark etc. etc. threads should be closed and deleted.

Sylmin October 2nd, 2007 9:49 PM

It's true, It's risky trading for legit pokemon like shines or legendaries of EV trained pokes, but I always 'summary' the pokemon I'm trading for right before I trade it to check it's location/level it was caught in, possibly It's ID if it is an event and if It was imported or not. =)

Jack_Maddocks October 2nd, 2007 9:58 PM

If you trade with wi-fi you are swapping pokemon with other people that want to swap. That means everyone gets new pokemon to add to their collection.

darkgamerGS October 3rd, 2007 8:43 AM

Eh, I don't get why shinies are all hyped up. I have two shinies, a Linoone I got from a GCN demo disc (My Pickup slave... would have used something else, but it was my only Pickup Pokemon that would have gotten boosted experience... yes, I'm lazy =P) and my Rhyperior, which I found by accident on my second PokeRadar chain when I was raising my Pokemon. I don't know why I evolved it. I'd trade my Rhyperior but not Linoone, not cause its shiny, but cause I'm too lazy to level up another Pickup slave.
Another reason why I trade is because I completed the Pokedex and found a new hobby: trading to register locations on the GTS. I dunno, that's just me. XD

Trainer Trance October 3rd, 2007 9:01 AM

lol I just trade, then breed the Pokemon I just got to say that I've actually trained one...

That's why people should clone, even if it were against their principles. If you lose a valuable shiny/event, it's your own problem. Although I'm not a great supporter of cloning, it is only good that people found out how to do it.

And if a Pokemon is well hacked, you don't see the difference right away.

zer0vrs October 3rd, 2007 10:20 AM

i trade online alot so i can get items and sometimes pokemon. most of the legendaries i got when i first started playing were hacked, but now only about half of them are (im working to try and get legit ones). i dont play with them, but i want to have as many legit as possible. i rlly dislike hacked pokemon. what i did was when i was finishing my dex, i would breed the ones i got in trades and train them myself and thats exactly how i filled my dex. it took forever but by training, i managed to get my dragonite lvl 100 (thats my only lvl 100 pokemon) and each pokemone was raised the old fashion way

Toadboy October 3rd, 2007 2:25 PM

I find this kinda funny... you are asking why people are trading in a game that was DESIGNED that you MUST trade? If you want all the pokemon you have to trade from at least diamond to pearl and back. What if someone only has diamond? they will need pokemon from pearl. What if someone doesn't have LG/FR/E/R/S? They will have to trade. The game was designed entirely around the concept of trading, and the idea was to trade with your friends or family. Now with the DS and WiFi, our friends and family don't have to be right down the street.

Now what if you want a mew? How do you get it? Did you go to Toys R Us and get it? I didn't, so now without trading, i'm out of luck. What if you want the Deyxos that came from Houston Space Center? Unless you live in Houston, again, you are out of luck. Darkrai? Only available in Japan...

The game was built around trading and now trading is easier. Can you get hacked pokemon? sure, but you could have gotten one from your friend just the same. If i want someone's mew then i need to offer something enticing enough to make them part with it. Lvl 100 pokemon are one way, shiny are another. If i know that a lvl 100 pokemon that i've put my hard work and time into raising will get me the mew that i can't get any other way, then it's time well spent.

Shem October 4th, 2007 6:24 PM

okay 1. naruto is for 10 year olds
and 2. lot of peaople collec shinies, you cant deny that you dont want more, cloning isnt considered hacking, cloned pokemon are leget. Some people try to fill pokedexes, get certain natures and evs. You couild trade for a strong pokemon to add to your team. Really your opinion stated is narrow minded.

Pokemon Professor October 18th, 2007 11:10 PM

Why was this topic made? The starter is stupid in the head. Does the phrase "EV Training" bring something to mind? Or maybe you are so dumb you don't know what that is. Training a Pokémon to level 100 is good yes, but EV Training it and then leveling it to 100 is better. And for that you need right natured Pokémon for your super-team. If I want a shiny version of a Pokémon for my team, I can't breed for days to get the right nature an a shiny Pokémon because it is possible but for some reason, you always end up getting something when you least expect it or are wanting it. Therefore, someone else might have the exact Pokémon you want, both shiny and the right nature so then you can trade and make the perfect team. I hate hacking but hey, hacking a Pokémon into the game doesn't really do much and you can normally get a legit one eventually anyway. I did that with a Japanese Deoxys (I think it was real) for a Celebi and traded on GTS until I got legit 10 ANIV. So yea, you can always keep trading until your game is hack-free and it's okay if they pass through your game. But I would never dream of keeping them... :P
