I don't understand you're point.
People can Chain Pokemon to obtain Shinys very quickly. They've become very common in D/P.
And mostly people trade to fill in a Pokedex slot or to have a higher chance of winning lotterys and such.
And it can also be a trade with a good irl/online friend so you always have something to remember them by.

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.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the first few posts. And anyways, you have to be some sort of freak to collect all the pokemon without trading to somebody else. And then you start talking about illegit shiny Pokemon, have you heard of "chaining?" So what if their cloned? I seriously think this thread is phail.

First of all, not everyone values their shinies; I personally chain for shiny Pokémon just so I can trade them away for something I need. And no, none of my shinies are cloned. (apart from a hacked Latias I use to get what I want from the GTS, usually within one minute from depositing it) But seriously, why would you not trade when trading is the only way to "complete" the game excluding hacking.

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

That post had so much phail in it. D= First of all, how can you say you're not a supporter of cloning when one of the main reasons you even come over to my place is to clone your shinies and trade them to random people in the Wireless Trade Corner? And second, your last sentence was completely wrong; if a Pokémon is well hacked you'll never notice a difference.
