Global GTS problems? :S
 
well i looked at the pokemon-gts.com site and i notice there are thousands of pokemon, and usualy at least 10 of each pokemon you can think of. the GTS Journal said there were alot of ralts with mail around and so i looked it up and yeah there are quite a few.

but heres the problem i have all 3 games and no matter what one i go on anymore i never see more than 3 people at a time offering the pokemon i'm looking for, not just with ralts with anything i can think of :S i used to breed and trade off Kabuto for starters but... when i would look for kabuto to see what kinda pokemon people would trade for i would see 5-6 people at a time.

also on platinum it doesnt tell me when somone wants to specify a level or gender of the pokemon. so i have a ralts, i wanted to trade for a ralts that was holding mail. but when i selected one it had my ralts in my box greyed out, changeing the gender specified and level of the pokemon i was looking for seems to generate random combonations on platinum of the 3 people with the pokemon and i finnaly found one that it wasent greyed out but when i tried to trasd for it it told me that the pokemon had already been traded to another trainer

:S i'm at a complete loss at what to do now what am i doing wrong?

edit: also the name was meant to be Pokemon GTS Problems? :S but i cant edit the name of the thread aperantly :S
another edit: i'm also sorry if the answer is/was in the manual i bought all my games second hand they didnt even have a case :S

The number of people shown starts at 3, then increases as you do more trades. At least, that's what I've been experiencing.

well that seems interesting, think i can buff up my trade count by tradeing via the GTS between my 3 games and my moms pearl version?

Hmm.... I'm also having a problem trading in the GTS in Platinum. I'm trying to get this Wurmple that's on the GTS, and all it asks for is a Glaceon, which I have. So I try to trade, but I can't pick the Glaceon, meaning it's not "bright." Anyone know what's wrong? By the way, the Wurmple is Japanese, and in the Location section, I picked Japan.

Strangely enough, mine randomly went back down to having 5 spots at max, when I could have 7 only days ago.
So I think you need to keep trading via GTS to keep the max spots at 7.

Edit: about not being able to trade..
From what I've heard, it says that because the other person's pokemon is hacked.
I might be getting this info from an unreliable source though.

Well, if that is the case, then kudos to Nintendo for weeding out hacks.

Metalchic April 4th, 2009 7:29 AM

i think the PID check wasent somting that was in place when the GTS was first set up, so the pokemon that are hacked were grandfathered into the new system
