Platinum GTS issue?
I don't know if anyone has noticed this, I have come across a bug regarding platinum's GTS when trying to trade with a DP GTS (or may apply to all GTS trades, unsure):
It is my belief, based on a few experiences, that you cannot trade a pokemon caught in a location in Platinum that was not previously catchable in the same location in DP. This problem of course is caused by the filter in GTS so that hacked pokemon cannot be traded. Seems to have backfired a bit now. This has begun to annoy me a bit. My apologies if this old news/ already posted. If so, go ahead and lock comments/confirmations? |
i understand wut ur talking about
and ya it seems like its a problem that sud hav ben fixed w an update or sumthin |
If enough people complain about it, Nintendo will eventually fix it (hopefully)
|
I haven't traded in the new GTS yet so I didn't know about this. This really needs to get fixed, if not, the GTS will be rendered half-useless. =\
|
Sorry, no. It's just you. Back in December, I got a level 47 Giratina off the GTS, which was obviously from the Distortion World. There is no glitch.

I'm afraid that can't count as proof, as the distortion world did not even exist, so there would not have been a previous entry in the GTS filter to block that giratina. What I'm saying is that the previous entries in the filter have not been updated to allow pokemon found in different locations. To explain some of my terminology and further clarify to avoid confusion, a filter exists in GTS that prevents the trade of pokemon at unrealistic levels or caught in an unnatural location. Entries exist that define what pokemon at what levels and from certain location is acceptable. For proof of this, go catch, for example, a bronzor in mt coronet and try to trade it for something in GTS |

The only thing I've noticed so far is that I can only trade for pokemon that I've seen already. I hope this is only because I have just two badges yet. Surely this changes later on... right?

Also, if you have traded over a pokemon not in the sinnoh dex (only appears in national dex) you cannot seek that pokemon either You wouldn't see charmander till after elite 4 and receiving the national dex |

Btw, the other problem on the GTS... Pokemon appearing with different names and pictures. What did it mean? (Ex. a Deoxys appearing with Seaking as its name and picture) |

It means that the Pokémon has already been traded, but the new Pokémon hasn't been withdrawn yet (or something like that). It's nothing to do with hacking.
|
I don't think Giratina was in Diamond or Pearl so would I be able to trade it to Diamond and Pearl from Platnium or not

I never really got this problem before.

I also hate how sometimes there are pokemon up there that have already been traded (when you try to trade with them) yet they still remain up there.

Wichu hit it right on the nose. If you see one Pokemon, but a name entirely different, it's because that Pokémon has already been traded, but has not been withdrawn yet, a.k.a. that Pokémon is no longer available.
And I haven't used the GTS yet, but I'm also using my GF's DS, waiting for my replacement screen to come in (don't want to link up my PalPad with her DS). |
